Online English Tutoring - IELTS Speaking Preparation

[lmoore]

I've been on this board for a couple of months now, and I see how hard all of you students are working to achieve a good IELTS score, especially in speaking.

I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your hard work, and that I am confident that you will succeed.

I own Empower English Tutoring (http://www.empowerenglishtutoring.com), and I am happy to provide more intensive online English lessons if anyone wants some extra support. I teach via an online classroom and Skype and Google Hangouts. I will continue to provide feedback on this board as well!

Best wishes to all of you,

Hi, Saqibali,
Thank you for submitting your recording. I would suggest that in the future you find a quiet place to record yourself. I could barely hear you most of the time with the horns honking and people speaking loudly behind you. I was imagining you were on a bus. 
Overall, your organization was good. I heard introductions and conclusions to your answers for each question. This will help the interviewer understand what you are saying.
Your vocabulary was good as well. I heard words like, “dictate,” which indicate you understand how to use some higher-level words. I would encourage you to build on your vocabulary as you were somewhat repetitious.
As far as fluency goes, you speak very slowly. This in and of itself is not a bad thing if it helps you to have good grammar and to plan out what you are going to say. However to achieve a 9, you are going to need to increase your speed. Your pronunciation is also unclear some of the time, as when you said “handwriting.” It sounded like “handroiting.” Make sure you say the long /i/ sound as in right/write/bright/sight. Speaking slowly can help to clear that up, but you should concentrate on enunciating each syllable clearly.
Here are some sentence structure and grammar notes:
so that I could achieve – so that I can achieve
regular user of internet – of the internet
I have to write by my hand – I have to write by hand
email have official communication – emails –couldn’t hear plural
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback.
Can you kindly assign me a band?

[lmoore]

I am sorry, but I do not assign bands as I am not an IELTS test administrator.
