Teaching Experience in detail in IELTS Coaching classes
Since I started as an IELTS trainer in 2007 I have recognized few basic learning mistakes learners do .In these 11 years I have developed strategies and techniques for various learners. I apply scientific methodologies and applied sciences to make a learner's experience fruitful. Therefore, the success rate is high . I start the course with a diagnostic test and then once we identify the areas of concern with the data provided by the test I start with the weakest area from day one. After every module a test is conducted as per the standard exam pattern . A thorough feedback is given within the promised time. We select students who are sincere and dedicated , so there will be a screening done on Day one. Because we do believe in quality education. The learner is given guidance and professional assistance throughout the preparation period and is welcome to stay connected beyond the exam date too. Since performance of a student in an exam does not rely only on knowledge , the other crucial aspects such as confidence , conscious learning through mistakes is given more importance along with facing the challenges in refining a language.

"I feel fortunate to have contacted Shruthi for my PTE coaching. Shruthi is one of the most experienced & committed trainer I would say. She was very much focused on helping me to achieve my desirable score. Trainer like her who is genuine, goes that extra mile to teach, she made sure that I understood the concepts and applied the techniques correctly. She prepares us so well that we will never regret our decision. There were times, when I was unable to attend the classes , she took extra effort to conduct the sessions in a different slots .Whenever I was unable to solve any task, she provides immediate solution so that I do not lose any more time. She is highly dedicated. She is extremely reliable & punctual. I wish her all the best on her future endeavors. Wishing you from the bottom of my heart , Shruthi. "

"I googled for the best trainer for IELTS and got Shruthi's name in IELTS category. I read good reviews and contacted Shruthi. The very first conversation with her made me comfortable and made me realize that this is the training I was looking for. Frankly, she is so sound in IELTS. You can say she is seasoned with IELTS and catches you instantly while you do mistakes. Moreover, if we don't struggle by doing our homework or give extra efforts we will not succeed in IELTS . I am thankful to Shruthi for her constant motivation and her never give- up attitude when my motivation was low. What I like best is she goes the extra mile to help each and every student in the class - too rare to find this characteristic in a trainer these days. In short, I would highly and sincerely recommend ,Shruthi . She constantly reminds us how important the exam is to us and her techniques are too practical and very effective. "

"Honestly, she is a very bad teacher, I should say. She has so many personal problems, which she shows the classes to finish the classes in 2 months she has taken literally 3.5 months with so many leaves and excuses, we didnâ??t join her classes for free she charged 11 k , which costed me an arm and a leg. In-spite of all these she ill treated me, never has that respect, she should know that we are also working professionals not children. Apart from personal experience, when it comes to ielts modules please do not join her classes, I strongly suggest you do not waste your money. Among all modules in IELTS, writing is the difficult one and Shruthi is very bad at that, she does not evaluate any of our writing scripts due to her personal problems. Please trust me you will never attain CLB 9 under her guidance. "

Hi Shilpa Kalagara, Thank you for the Feedback. You were informed well in advance (25 Dec, 2018) that the course duration is undefined which means only when you are confident to clear the exam you can proceed to discuss the exam date with me and THEN BOOK IT. Unfortunately, you only had time to inform me about your LRW exam on April 5,2019,when your exam was scheduled on the very next day. So far you had written only one Writing Task and I had evaluated the task on the same day. As a Human we all go through phases in life just as you had few personal problems when you enrolled for the sessions and had requested me to change the batch timings. Similarly, I agree that I faced few issues, but, I have compensated the classes for the same immediately. Throughout 3.5 months ,as you have mentioned, you could have written more Writing Tasks and Not just one at the last moment! My roles and responsibilities demand me to be strict and be accountable with whatever I do. Well, under my guidance you have managed to improve from LRWS- 6.5,6.5,6,6.5 to LRWS- 8,7,6,7 respectively (Please refer to the gallery section for the Test Report Forms -TRFs). I did insist and stress on the importance of practice from the beginning that Writing is where you should focus and practise more compared to other modules .If my writing skill is weak I would have not managed to score 7.5 in my recent exam which I attended on Jan 19th in Pune with absolutely zero preparation.

"Shruthi is an honest, committed and a true professional Trainer whom I found on Urban Pro. I chose her specifically out of thousands of other trainers ( I was initially skeptical about online sessions as I had never attended earlier) because of her teaching methodology. She made it clear at the beginning itself that she chooses students based on certain learning qualities. I must mention she is strict who checks every little detail! I attended the demo and I liked the way she was giving individual attention to each and everyone in the class of 5 people. The best part is she insisted me to take the student's feedback from the students directly once she leaves the session. I liked this a lot. I cannot thank her enough for all the help she provided to enable me to achieve my goals. It was my dream to clear PTE and migrate to Australia. She helped me to reignite the dream passionately, understand my errors and encouraged me constantly to achieve it. To give my background, I had attempted PTE 4 times and I had almost decided to quit before I enrolled for Shruthi's classes. I definitely liked the structured sessions. She gave me an overview of the exam, though I was a repeater and then started with weaker areas after analyzing my previous scores. Also, she had informed me earlier that the course consists of guided practice sessions once the topics are introduced and the Mock tests will be conducted to assess how much I apply what has been taught by her. She followed this aptly. I remember once she was sick and she could not conduct the classes. However, she informed me that she will be able to conduct the session in a different slot and she conducted the session. She never missed any session and was punctual. The next week I could not attend a few classes due to personal reasons for which without a second thought she arranged classes and provided an immediate solution so that I do not lose any more time. She is highly dedicated. Honestly, you get resources easily on google, what you don't easily get is a Trainer like her who is genuine, goes that extra mile to teach and makes sure you understand the concepts and applies it. I feel fortunate to have contacted Shruthi, who from day one was so transparent - laid out refund policy in case if I am not happy with her, which is she will refund 50% of the amount considering the number of sessions attended by me. She prepares you so well that you will never regret your decisions. I wish her all the best on her future endeavors. Wishing you from the bottom of my heart, Shruthi. "

"Dilettante Tutor!! Beware of her Dodgy Marketing! Itâ??s easy to depict the rosy scenario verbally than to actually implement on the same. I was looking out for the PTE Academics guide with the core objective to score 79+. Via Urban Pro, I found Shruthi Vekatappa's profile. On speaking to her on this regards, she beautifully explained how she would take me through the sections in PTE and sharing the study materials. Basis good faith (and regressive follow-ups from her to register with herself), I enrolled with her by paying 100% of the fee at a go. However, after a few days, it came like a shock to me as I got trapped in her "Marketing Gimmicks". Every commitment with respect to the quality of sessions and study materialsÃ? were "Fallen-Flat". During initial couple sessions she was sort of "Okay", wherein (without providing an overall introduction to the PTE-Academics) she began from Read-Aloud and Repeat-Sentence which are easier compared to other sections and question types. Almost every time in each of the sessions, I was walked through the portal of ptetutorials.com and one of the other which are commonly available (the first link one gets when you google for sample PTE questions). In terms of study material - I was only provided with "2 Blurred Images" for writing connectors along with the mentioned websites. In her Marketing Stratagem - I have been told that I would be assessed initially by a mock exam, a basis which she will take the sessions. None of these promises made were delivered and I ended up arranging one mock test myself on a personal basis. Casual, Unprofessional and arrogant. She was so unprincipled with respect to the schedule. As mostly for all the sessions, she used to "Postpone or Cancel with Last minute intimation to me, and even use to Join Late by 15- 20 minsâ?? and wind up basis slot timings. And each time she comes up with some personal reasons to gain sympathy on a humanitarian basis. Which probably depicts how she values her clients and her casual attitude. She is a sophist tutor. She reasons with clever but false arguments. While raising objections, she bounces back everything back on your court one or the other way, a small instance wherein she replied that I(myself) am not ready to accept my errors. She is very cunning as being myself located overseas, she knew it would be difficult for me to file a complaint in India. However, as I have put through a formal complaint with in my current location overseas, this will hunt her badly down the line in the near future. An example in her recent reviews - posted by Neha on 22 Feb 2019, as she is trying to set the context to cover-up unfair deduction for the ill-doings in my case. I decided to opt out from her services from her on 18th Feb, with just a few worthless, time wasting and casual sessions. Sharing incomplete information on exam tactics, strategy and scoring patterns had started putting me dilemma. Consequently, I started doing self-paced learning from some webinars from E2 learning available on YouTube. Which was an EYEOPENER to me? And eventually, I decided to get out of the "Cheat". On asking for a refund, she was so unfair in deducting 40% of the fee amount. Even she does not bother to respond back to the emails and multiple reminders and on escalating the situation to Urban Pro and their intervention, she came with some immature and lame reasons. Basis my experience with her for PTE-Academics, Definitely her teaching is not worth for a single Penny. I would Highly Recommend staying away from her marketing build-ups and self uprising comments. For me, it was a Mental, Financial Harassment dealing with such a misleading and fraud tutor. I donâ??t think she genuinely holds a #1 for PTE tutor, of which she has so much of arrogance. P.S. - I have multiple shreds of evidence for the same, for the authenticity of the comments and claims I made."

"A Big note of thanks to Shruthi. Her way of teaching and positive attitude of approaching a problem makes her a great tutor. I just follow her principles, approach and believe her blindly. "
Neha
"Would like to talk about the course regulations first. Refund amount is 50%of the amount paid if the student is deviated from the motive to pursue the course and has lost interest in the class due to no motivation from oneself or if the student would like to quit due to other valid professional and too personal reasons such as a death in the family or inability to continue the sessions due to change in shift timings etc. Even for this there is solution where the shruti records the sessions and share the recordings if the student is unable to attend for few days . Also, focus of the course it is constant ,instant feedback and in the beginning itself, all these things mentioned. I have been Pte student from past few months with shruthi and seen great improvement in my score. I was able to shoot up my score from 70 points to 80 points. I will really recommend her for quality training. "

"Shruthi V is my trainer for the IELTS course recently. Talking about her, she is a phenomenal trainer and I had a great learning experience with her. Her way of approach towards the course is straight forward and easily understandable. She always encourages and motivates the participants. The way she provided tips and logics are very useful and moreover, she always he reminds us the basics. The Sessions are always interactive followed by in detail clarification of doubts. Shruthi is always professional and proficient in taking the classes and this is possible because of her passion towards teaching. After these classes Iâ??m very confident of scoring in the exam. Thank you very much Shruthi for the support. "
Farhat
"A great teacher. Shruthi has taught me for IELTS may be around 6 months ago. She is an excellent tutor and extremely knowledgeable person who conveys knowledge of complex material in a manner easily understandable. One of the best thing about her she was always flexible with scheduling and she cheerfully accommodated to last-minute changes to our established schedule. She is very kind and patient tutor who understands her students flaws and very well moulds herself to ameliorate her student's knowledge. I,wholeheartedly would like to thank shruthi for all the encouragement and support given by her throughout my learning process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to excel in IELTS. "
Ravindra
"Shruthi is dynamic and she gives Out of the box training. I admit that she has very good experience in IELTS training and teaches in professional way. In fact, Shruthi takes care of multiple aspects of each and every trainee, for example improving their pronunciation, conducting one-one mock tests in speaking module and encouraging all the time in addition to improving weaker areas of the candidates. I can say , She is the best trainers i have seen in recent times. I recommend her for any kind of English training. "

TULI NAG
"Shruthi possesses all the important characteristics that a true and dedicated teachers needs to have. It was totally a blessing for me to have her as my coach. She would push her boundaries with the intention to support me to achieve my target. There was once an incident when I really felt annoyed with her as she wouldn't bend her tea Hing rule for me. Later, I realised how significant it proved for me. She is the person who installed within me the 'Can Do' and 'You got this' drives which eventually build up my confidence. I am literally shocked at my recent results. I would definitely recommend her to those who want to chasthy, etheir dreams. May God keep her always heal"

"Teaching is up to the mark as my knowledge from root to bottom tips. I would recommend to all. "

Although you interacted me only during the screening tests and could not enroll for the classes you chose to send good vibes. Thanks a lot for being kind and generous for the review, Pavan :)
Sushma Deshpande
"I took one month coaching for IELTS from Shruthi and I must say it is one of the best decisions I have made recently. The one on one time, disciplined teaching and helpful guidance given by her has led me to clear IELTS with clb 9 in reading, writing & listening and clb 10 in speaking in my very first attempt. Her feedback on my performance in each module during revisions were on point which helped in correcting my mistakes before the big day. I wish her all the success and many many more success stories from her students. "

Hi Praful, currently you will need L-8 , R-7, W-7 and S-7. This is the average score needed to be a Permanent Resident (PR) in Canada. However, the more you score the better are the chances for you to be a resident in your destination country. Prepare well. Please do not take it lightly. All the best :)
