Most students you meet during your TEFL career will strive towards passing the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test. It’s one of the leading tests taken by non-native English speakers to prove their English proficiency for work, education and migration. With millions of students taking the test each year, it’s no surprise that preparation teachers are in high demand!
