Tanya B.

Bachelor of Arts in English from Simon Fraser University, and completed professional training in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language). She has nearly 30 years of teaching experience. She has been continuously engaged in ESL instruction since 1996 and remains active on the international English-education front, teaching both adolescent and adult learners. She previously served as an official IELTS Speaking Examiner, assessing candidates strictly according to official scoring criteria. She has also taught IELTS, CAE, FCE, and PET courses within the Cambridge assessment system for many years. In the IELTS preparation classes she has led, student scores consistently reach Band 7 or above, demonstrating clear and measurable outcomes. In her teaching, she excels at using systematic writing instruction and metacognitive approaches to strengthen students’ language logic, depth of expression, and test-day consistency. Her approach is particularly well suited to learners with clear goals who are seeking stable, high scores on the IELTS exam.
