Hi (name of student) nice to meet you!
Before we start let’s do a system check
Can you see me and hear me clearly?
By the way I believe this is the first time we are having a
class together? Right!
SO let me introduce myself to you briefly, Again my name

How about you (Name of Student)? Can you tell me
something about yourself?
(Student answers)
Wow that’s great!
By the way, how are you today?
Now (student) I can see here that you booked an IELTS class
today right?
May I know why do you want to take the IELTS exam? (Student
answers)
So if you have plans of taking the IELTS test, when do you plan
to take it?
And what is your Target score? Student answers
Ok, so don’t worry we will work together so we can achieve
that target score
Ok, we will be having a simulation of the IELTS speaking test
later but before we do that let me set your expectations first,
For the next 12 to 15 minutes I will not be your teacher but I
will play the role of an IELTS examiner. I will not help you,
correct you or guide you. I will just ask the questions and you
have to remember to give your answers and the reason behind
it for parts 1 and 3, for part 2 make sure that you maximize the
two minute mark. Also, once we start the simulation I will turn
off my camera so you can focus on your answers. Once we're
done, I will turn it back on and I will give you my feedback,
corrections and suggestions. I also want you to prepare a pen
and a paper for part 2.
Is that clear?? (if the student says yes, or they don’t have any
question)
Ok so let me turn off my camera so we can start the simulation
(Camera should be off already)
REMINDERS:
Be STRICT (strict tone of voice)
