A week and a half of unedited footage sits on my hard drive and I rarely think about it. My focus has turned lately to a new interest: essay correction services. Not just any essays, but specifically, IELTS essays. As some you may know, the IELTS is one of the most accepted English language tests, used for immigration, higher education, and even employment. 3 million people took it last year. In my time as an English teacher, leading IELTS prep courses has always been my favorite part of the job. Back in December, I found a group on Facebook where students from all over the world (mostly South Asian, actually) were posting their IELTS essays online, begging for experts like me to comment on them. Imagine that. An active online community where I can wander in and get immediately revered as a pro. I can sit back and make critical comments about what other people put on the internet and actually get THANKED for doing so. On top of that, some of these students actually listen to the feedback and improve. Lately I've realized that there are lots of people who get paid to do what I'd been giving away for free. Given the millions of potential customers and how much otherwise proficient English speakers can't write an academic IELTS essay for shit, I've decided to tip my toes into the world of online tutoring. My new site has a weird name. Here's the story behind the name along with a video explanation. So if you've been wondering why I've been so quiet lately, I've become the High Priest of the IELTS Temple.

Of course, every serious professional education site needs a Theme Song... on ukulele!
