How to prepare a student for the IELTS teaching online

To prepare a student for the IELTS while teaching online, you build each session around the exam's four bands, run the live class on the collaborative whiteboard, and use the post-class review to show the student, in numbers, how their speaking and vocabulary are improving week after week.

Organize the course by exam band

The IELTS assesses four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Preparation becomes clearer when your classes follow that same breakdown.

In Noladi you create a reusable course and build a lesson for each training block. Each lesson opens the whiteboard with the material already prepared, so you don't waste time loading files at the start of the class.

If you teach several IELTS groups, the same course works for all of your students. You prepare it once and reuse it.

Run speaking in the live class

Speaking is the part that depends most on conversation practice, and it's where the live class delivers the most.

During the session you draw on the whiteboard, drag in a PDF with the Part 2 prompts, share your screen, and the student writes along. All through the browser, with nothing to install.

You can also take notes as the class unfolds. Later, in the review, each note is linked to the exact moment in the video, so you can revisit what you commented on without searching.

Use the post-class review to measure progress

Minutes after the class, the student opens the review in your branded panel. This is where IELTS preparation gains consistency.

For each class, the review brings together:

• transcription of the speech synced with the video, highlighted word by word
• suggestions for grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary corrections, with explanations
• speaking stats: speed in words per minute, total and unique words, time spent talking
• the list of new words covered in the class

For anyone training speaking, these numbers are straightforward. IELTS candidates need to demonstrate fluency and range of vocabulary, and the student gets to see that measured, class after class.

Keep a routine between classes

Exam prep calls for consistency. You schedule sessions on a weekly recurrence, so the training routine holds until the test date.

On the wall you post announcements, support materials, and lessons for the student to complete between one class and the next. The student comments, and you track who opened it and who responded.

Frequently asked questions

How to give speaking feedback to an IELTS student online

Run the practice in the live class and use the post-class review. It includes the transcription of the speech, suggestions for pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary corrections with explanations, plus the speaking stats. The student reviews it all in their own panel afterward.

Does Noladi grade the writing essay automatically

No. Noladi's AI corrections work on the speech transcribed from the class, not on written texts submitted separately. You correct the essay during the live class, on the whiteboard, and record the key points in your notes.

Can I track the student's progress throughout the preparation

Yes. Each class generates speaking stats and a list of new vocabulary, and the student has their accumulated vocabulary in their panel. This makes the gains in fluency and range visible across the weeks of preparation.

IELTS preparation gets stronger when the student can see their own progress, not just hear your feedback. With Noladi's post-class review, every session becomes measured material the student can revisit whenever they want.
