雅思莫雷是什么？
I am Mo Lei (Pronounced as ‘moh-lay’) and I teach students how to pass the IELTS exam. My name is pronounced as 'moh - lay' so don't be confused by its appearance on your screen！ I live in London with my husband， a British citizen of Chinese origin. We are both teachers at an international school just outside the capital.
How long have you been teaching？ Over thirty years I think but it doesn’t feel like that！ The first ten or fifteen were spent mainly working with adults who were returning to study after having spent some time away from education. Before moving to this country I taught English for one year， mostly speaking and reading skills，in Japan where I also did some private tutoring. I have also taught IELTS in China， Greece， Portugal and Poland over the last seven or eight years. So I guess I must know what I am talking about when it comes to this particular test.
My method of learning is based around positive reinforcement which means giving students loads of feedback whilst they are practicing so their efforts are constantly rewarded. It works because people learn more effectively if they know exactly what is wrong right now rather than six months down the line when recalling an incident form their past. Of course， once the mistakes are recognised， corrective measures can then be put into place. This method has been used successfully by me in all languages and levels of learners； although most of my work these days is with mature students whose first language may not even be English.
My students come from all walks of life. Some are mature students looking to change careers， others are going abroad to do an MBA， PhD or a teacher training course. Then there are those who want to join the armed forces， apply for visas or simply improve their career prospects. Whatever their reasons， we will work together to achieve their goals.
If there was one thing that you wish someone had told you before you sat your first IELTS exam， what would that be？ Don’t worry！ You can take it again. In fact， many candidates will sit it two or three times before they are happy with their score. And each subsequent attempt will
