Hey! I’ve been teaching English for almost 20-years now, and whether I am in a classroom full of teenagers or in a lecture theatre with undergraduates, my aim is always the same – to create lessons that are educational and enjoyable. After completing my MA in Applied Linguistics in 2005, I specialised in teaching Academic English in universities, and even though I don’t have time to teach anymore, I still create exams for the University of St Petersburg.
My background in Academic English is really what led me to start My IELTS Classroom in 2005. I could see that there was a real lack of high-quality teaching in the online IELTS world, and I felt that students deserved something better. Today, I help literally thousands of students each week through my IELTS video courses, blog posts, and podcast, and this gives me such a sense of pride. I often think that I made the decision to become a teacher because “I wanted to travel and see the world” – but now, years later, I run a school that is full of students from all around the world straight from my home! I guess it turned out to be the teaching that I love, not the travelling!

About Shelly
My IELTS Classroom
When I started making the first video lessons for My IELTS Classroom back in 2015, I had no idea the journey I was setting out on. I thought that maybe a few dozen people would watch my videos and I could combine my teaching at university with a small online IELTS school.
5 years later and My IELTS Classroom is now a full online school with 4 teachers, an amazing support team, and literally thousands of students. The best news? The level of support and motivation that we offer our students is exactly the same as it was at the start. That is the beauty of asking your favourite ex-colleagues to come and work with you! It means that today, even though it will always be “My IELTS Classroom”, it is really “Our IELTS Classroom”.

- I am sincerely grateful to Shelly for creating the best IELTS course there is. This course is all that a candidate will need to excel in their IELTS test. The videos are simply amazing and packed with information (and fun too!). All thanks to her, I was able to achieve a 7.5 in Writing right in my first attempt! Handsdown, the best IELTS teacher out there.Shahtaj, India
- Shelly is an experienced expert IELTS teacher: her lectures are detailed, her styles are easy to apply and the contents of the course are 100% relevant. I particularly saw a great value in her marking and giving feedback on my essays. It's important to know what band scores one's essays are worth and a true assessment is best gotten from the expert that Shelly is.Isaiah, Nigeria
- I wholeheartedly recommend lessons with Shelly! I've seen her writing videos and I believe they are just the best IELTS writing course on the Internet! And when I got merely 6.5 in Speaking I decided to ask Shelly for help. After only 5 lessons I managed to hit 8 in Speaking at my second attempt.Marta, Poland
