Your English Compass was created to offer something different -to support students through a holistic and personalized IELTS preparation course called the Digital IELTS Academy. A focus on the quality of materials, rather than quantity, in small cohorts with a private learning community and dedicated, Cambridge-certified instructor.
Your English Compass is here to guide you past the noise and frustration, give you straightforward advice, and help you elevate your English skills to be better prepared in charting your success on the IELTS exam. In addition to preparation for the exam, you will also find you are better prepared to attend lectures at university, lead presentations in your chosen career, and be more confident in your social interactions.
Whether you aim to attend university in an English-speaking country or wish to migrate for a life-changing opportunity with an international company or be reunited with family, IELTS is not the end game. It is only one part of the journey to the next bold chapter in your life. However, I understand IELTS can be a roadblock on your journey. The Digital IELTS Academy was designed to remove that roadblock and allow you to make your aspirations your reality.
About Your Instructor/Coach
Hello, I’m Jennifer -you are welcome to call me Jenn.
While I am an American and English is my first language, I’ve been in your shoes as a language learner. I have felt the pressure of my future on the line and a high-stakes language exam holding my fate.
That’s why I’m passionate about coaching students for IELTS success. I specialize in teaching IELTS so students like you can finally put the exam behind them. Opening transformational opportunities to allow you to live your life to the fullest, taking your dreams and turning them into reality.
I believe you can do this. You can be an IELTS Greatest of All Time. You need to think and prepare like a GOAT -for example, some greats like Lebron, Serena, Messi, or Simone Biles.
I am an International Education professional with 20 years of experience in teaching and educational program design. I’ve held leadership positions within governmental and non-governmental organizations teaching and training, advocating, and designing programs to expand the right to education and create English language learner success.
My passion for teaching has allowed me to live and work in vibrant communities across the globe, including in Hungary, Kenya, Tanzania, The Netherlands, Uganda, Vietnam, and the United States.
One of my greatest joys is giving back to the English language learning community, I volunteer with The Washington English Center as an ESL teacher for migrants and refugees.
As a long-distance athlete, I know mindset is as much a part of your success as physical training. I utilize mindset as a tool for high-level achievement. I believe you need to do the same for IELTS. I’ll show you how you can adapt techniques to be at your fittest during your preparation and on exam day.
I look forward to helping you train like a GOAT and supporting your journey so you achieve IELTS success and accomplish your goals for the future you envision for yourself.
