First and the most important quality IELTS teacher is a balance of talk time and listening time the student must have a chance to practice and demonstrate what they what she or she learned and not only in speaking modules, but also writing, reading and listening.
Second the good tutor helps you to realize your strengths and weaknesses, encourages and challenges you to learn through difficulties. Almost all students have one or two parts of the IELTS where they feel weaker than others. It is important for the IELTS teacher to identify and focus on these.
Next, the teacher is someone who uses both his head and heart in equal measure throughout lessons. A compassion that a student may be frustrated, angry or just unable to focus on academics is very important. The stress and pressure of IETLS can be great, and it is important for a good tutor to be able to discuss and move past this with the student.
Another important trait is the knowledge of the subject at hand. A teacher cannot truly instruct on topics they do not know well. Just knowing English or even teaching general English is not enough to be a good IELTS teacher. The teacher needs to have tried IETLS tests and used the strategies that they teach. Of course, years of experience teaching IELTS is an asset.
