About Mary
I have taught ESL and international examinations such as IELTS and TOEFL for more than 20 years. I have worked for Indian Embassy for several years as an interpreter and attended many international meetings as an interpreter. I hold a Master's Degree in Second Language Education (area of expertise: English teaching and translating) +20 years of experience teaching English to: Mainly IELTS and Duolingo candidates Higher Education Institutes Training Centers and Organizations English coaching for professionals in various companies Private lessons: Individuals & Groups / Adults English teaching candidates I started teaching English when I was only 20 and since then I have always tried to upgrade my level and method of teaching and I myself study English daily basis though I have between 8-10 classes a day and a very hectic schedule, I know the value of time and fully understand how some students can hardly manage to get time to do their assignments and practice but surely when there is a will there is a way. As an IELTS instructor, I am always dealing with students who mostly come to me at the last very moment, at most a few months before their test, so I know how to help them overcome the stress and tension of the test and how to manage to get their desired score in a short time. I will be supporting you all through this difficult path more as a friend rather than a teacher. I also hold speaking classes both individually and in form of group free discussion classes in which the only thing I do is giving the chance of speaking to my students. In speaking classes, the aim is improving students' fluency in speaking and the classes are fully student-oriented where I am more a listener than a speaker and the result is amazing. In few weeks, great improvement can be clearly seen in their speaking. I love English translation and interpretation so much and whenever possible I go for that. I have attended at several commercial meetings at different ministries and international fairs. Throughout my career I have helped many people from different nationalities and backgrounds to learn English regardless of their level or age to move to their desired country for studying and working and even teaching English. I have helped them to get ready to settle in English-speaking countries and regain confidence in their ability to express themselves in English. Some of my students are now English teachers in different countries, who knows may be you are the next one. I have prepared several students to pass their exams at school, university and get high score in IELTS and Duolingo and also I have coached many professionals to get prepared for meetings, conferences, presentations and making speech in English. Thank you and I look forward to sharing my passion for English with you!

Excellent! Mary has helped me thoroughly prepare for my test in the span of 2 weeks. My focus was improving my writing and speaking, and her feedbacks were very helpful: she helped me gain structure in my writing, addressed my weak spots in grammar, and gave me lots of practice material. She also helped me gain a lot of confidence in speaking.
Perfect! Mary’s tutoring style is great—light, fun, but very thorough. She really helps with pronunciation and knows the IELTS structure very well. She’s also super flexible and easy to talk to. Thanks, Mary
- She is a highly motivated and hardworking IELTS student. Her speaking skills have improved significantly, and she actively applies feedback in every lesson. Her confidence in expressing ideas clearly and accurately is growing impressively, and she consistently demonstrates dedication to achieving her target band.Mary's response :
Perfect! Mary is a good tutor.
I have my IELTS Reading test soon,Mary as found where my difficulty was in my second lesson .
I am very happy the way she is teaching me .i will definitively recommend other people to her- Joelle is preparing to take the IELTS test next week. She is highly motivated and works hard in every class, but she still finds it challenging to complete the reading test within the time limit. I have been teaching her some very effective techniques that will help her manage the tasks more efficiently. With continued practice under exam conditions, she will become more confident and better prepared for test day.Mary's response :
Perfect! I have received really good lessons from Mary. She took her time to explain and teach me writing which I was poor at and I believe from now on I will do well. She also taught me the tricks in doing other tasks
- "Purity worked with great focus and determination, and in just one week of lessons her IELTS Academic Writing score improved from 6.5 to 7. By following clear guidance and understanding the different structures for Task 1 and Task 2, she quickly developed stronger organisation, coherence, and vocabulary in her writing. It was a pleasure to see her achieve her desired score and complete her IELTS journey successfully."Mary's response :
Perfect! Mary is so patient with me,this is my first time I haven’t attended any IELTs class or exam and had no idea about the same,she is so knowledgeable clear and encouraging,am very happy I chose right she is the best
- My dear Faith, You’ve shown great improvement recently. Your hard work, attention to detail, and motivation are clearly visible in each lesson. You’re asking better questions, understanding more, and communicating with greater confidence. Keep up the excellent work—you’re definitely moving in the right direction, and will score 7+ in your IELTS test I’m very proud of your progress. Let’s keep the momentum going!Mary's response :
Perfect! Mary is very nice and professional, she helped me a lot with my grammar and vocabulary. I feel much more confident for my IELTS thanks to her.
- It has been a pleasure working with Cynth as she prepares for her IELTS test. Her knowledge of English is strong, and we are now focusing on improving her fluency and vocabulary choice to help her reach her goal of Band 8. I am confident that with continued effort and practice, we will give our best to achieve the score she is aiming for.Mary's response :

I am incredibly grateful to have had the best IELTS reading teacher! She is a true expert, knowing all the techniques needed to excel in the reading test. Her deep knowledge and understanding of the IELTS exam are unmatched. What sets her apart is her patience and ability to explain complex strategies in a simple, clear manner. She’s not only smart but also encouraging, which kept me motivated throughout my preparation. Her smart tips helped me manage time effectively and answer questions accurately. I can confidently say she’s the reason I improved so much. Highly recommended to anyone aiming for success!
Mrs Mary is my IELTS teacher and she is exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. Her teaching methods are clear and effective, helping me improve quickly. I highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the IELTS exam.
Maryam is a patient, kind and funny teacher . She is a knowledgable teacher ,and knows the latest method of teaching . Her accent is like a native ,and her comments helped me a lot in improving my writing . She is the best teacher
I am extremely thankful to my IELTS teacher for helping me achieve a score of 7, especially considering the challenges I faced with both the reading test techniques and essay writing structure. I initially struggled with managing time in the reading section and often found myself stuck on difficult questions. My teacher taught me effective strategies for skimming, scanning, and improving my reading speed, which made a significant difference in my performance.
I also had issues with organizing my essays. I often found it hard to structure my ideas clearly, which affected my writing score. She patiently guided me through the process of planning and structuring essays, teaching me how to write clear, well-organized responses that met the IELTS criteria. With her constructive feedback and continuous encouragement, my writing skills improved greatly.
Thanks to her expertise and personalized approach, I was able to overcome these difficulties and achieve a 7 overall. Her dedication, patience, and clear teaching methods made all the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone preparing for the IELTS exam—she truly helped me reach my goal!See more recommendations
