Meet the HowtodoIELTS team!

Hi, I’m Dave! Welcome to my IELTS online IELTS courses and resources! You can email me at Dave@howtodoIELTS.com if you have questions!

Before you commit I want to explain very clearly why there’s no one better to help you learn about IELTS and improve your English at the same time.

I’ve been working in various countries including Vietnam, Germany, Thailand, Korea, and the United States for more than a decade – mainly at British Council as a teacher, IELTS examiner and trainer. My qualifications include a BA in English Literature from Bard in New York, a CELTA, CELTA-YL and DELTA – the highest English teaching qualification.

The main difference between myself and other websites is that I am both very well versed in IELTS (from working as an examiner and a trainer for the department) as well as English in general. Combined with all my years of experience, I know exactly what students need and the best ways to give it to them.

I have hand-made every lesson and material for this course. The lessons here are only available here – no other school has my materials!

I work closely with my assistant, Nha, who helps with the editing of videos, making notes and handles various other duties (to a very high standard).

Most other websites will delegate their tasks to other employees. I just have a couple of assistants that I have personally trained to help out – but every video, worksheet, material, etc is made and edited by me first and foremost.
