Former IELTS Speaking Licensed Examiner. Offering IELTS Mock Tests, IELTS Writing feedback and IELTS Band Score Improvement with detailed examiner-style feedback based on official band descriptors.

I work as an English coach, and one of my clients, who had recently started working abroad, needed IELTS preparation support as part of her journey toward a UK postgraduate program. I was looking for someone who could help her out.
A mutual friend introduced me to Cian, and when I reached out, he was happy to take her on. My client had solid reading and writing skills, but hadn't spent much time living abroad yet, so she was still building her fluency and confidence in speaking. Cian honed in on exactly those areas and guided her through the IELTS prep in a really thoughtful, personalized way. On her very first attempt, she got a 6.5, and just as importantly, she walked away feeling genuinely ready to take the next steps toward studying abroad.

Cian's calm and cheerful personality made a real difference too, it kept her motivated and made it so much easier to keep going. We're both so grateful!!

I strongly recommend Cian as an IELTS teacher. His experience as an examiner helped me have realistic practice and detailed advice based on the official speaking criteria. His lessons are structured, helpful, and focused on achieving higher band scores. He was great :)

Cian is a kind, friendly and detailed teacher. His explanations were clear and always made IELTS as simple as possible for me. I wasn't the easiest student in the world but he was so patient. Thanks Cian!

I would strongly recommend Cian as an IELTS teacher. His experience as an IELTS speaking examiner gives him a deep understanding of how the test is assessed and what examiners are looking for in candidates’ responses.
He provided me with very clear explanations and practical feedback that helped me improve my fluency, organisation of ideas, and confidence when speaking English. His approach is structured and supportive, and he is very good at identifying the specific areas students need to work on to achieve a higher band score. Thanks Cian!

I highly recommend Cian as an English and IELTS teacher. As an IELTS examiner, his knowledge of English and the IELTS exam is excellent, and he is very familiar with the official speaking test format and grading criteria.
Cian is patient, supportive, and very clear when explaining how I can improve my speaking skills. He focuses on helping learners build confidence while also giving practical advice on fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and how to organise answers effectively in the IELTS speaking test.
Students who work with him benefit from realistic speaking practice and detailed feedback, which helps them understand what they need to do to reach a higher band score. I would strongly recommend him to anyone preparing for IELTS or looking to improve their academic English. My band score jumped from 6.0 to 7.5!
