    Hi Liz.

    I too am an EFL teacher and have been teaching IELTS since 2016. From the very beginning and especially since moving to online teaching in 2020, I have used your site and its wonderfully helpful and clear materials to help my students – and to help me! You have been my mentor and a great “special-guest” teacher for my students.

    It was only this evening that I came across your video here and the personal statement that is also on your site. They have both simply emphasised to me that you are truly a great communicator. You have used the circumstances of your adversity to inspire and educate us all in a different way.

    I have myself gone through personal difficulties and to an extent they still persist. Through the video and the personal statement, you have helped me to find renewed strength and optimism. You are a good friend to all of us who know and admire your work.

    Please take care, Liz

    • Thank you, Robert, for your kind words. It means a lot to me that other people have benefited from my work. As you know, all you can ever do is your best with the circumstances given to you and to derive as much happiness as possible from doing so, but it is always good to know that your efforts have helped others – that’s a nice added bonus. Wishing you all the best, Liz

  2. Dear Liz,
    Hello and good day! You are my go-to person and website when my students ask me for IELTS help and tips. <3 I appreciate so much all the information that you've made accessible to anyone who needs it.

    Last year I read that you'd had some health challenges, and by now, I sincerely hope & pray that you are doing better–and that you will recover fully and speedily.

Healing takes time, keep believing in yourself, in your dreams and you will get better and totally recovered soon! Sending you all the love, strenght and positive energy in the world!

Your presence has been sorely missed, and your loyal followers eagerly await your return. Wishing you all the best and hoping to see you back soon.

      Dear Liz,
      We have never met in person, but I can’t help thinking of you as one of my acquaintances. Over the years of administrating IELTS, I often thought what a great voice you have, how testee-friendly and caring you are, however, I didn’t know it were you.
      I’m glad to hear you find strength to fight. You will be fine as you’ve touched so many lives and now you are in their prayers.
      Best regards from Ukraine

  25. Oluwayemi G says

    Hi Liz! So glad to see you again. I’m so sorry you’ve had such a difficult time over the years.
    I was excited to get your email and I just had to watch this video. You were a tremendous help to me in 2021 when I wrote my IELTS and with the help of your website and videos, I passed on my first try. I’ve referred my colleagues who have to write IELTS to your website and YouTube page and they’ve all got great things to say.
    Thankfully I’m now in the UK working with the NHS but it would not have been possible without passing IELTS with your help.
    I’m very grateful to you for all the free ideas and tips and when talking about my journey here, I would always mention you and be thankful to you.
    I really pray that you fully recover soon but until then, may Jehovah God continue to give you the strength you need from day to day.
    Please rest well and take care.

  26. Monalisa says

  29. Sherazi says

    Hi Liz
    You are just an inspiration for me an amazing person no words that how can I explain my feelings about you more respect after your video.
    God bless you

    Regards

  30. Only on Friday, Liz, my colleague rang me and said “that woman! that amazing teacher that we used to plan our IELTS lessons from! What’s her name- I want to recommend her to someone”.
    You may have been away for 9 years, but in that period you’ve continued helping so many students (and teachers!) even if you don’t realise it.
    There’s probably not a week goes by that I don’t type “IELTS Liz” on a SM ESL page if someone is looking for recommendations.
    Wishing you all the very best, and looking forward to more content from you xx

    • That’s amazing. In fact, I’m just astounded by everyone’s response. I really had no idea you all remembered me in this way. I am deeply touched. Thank you

  31. Flavia Araujo says

    Liz, just want to say you are an amazing teacher and a strong person. Keep going and take good care of yourself.

  32. Hussein Ibrahim Tebin Ahmed says

    Hi Liz,
    I greatly appreciate your transparency in addressing your absence and the reason behind it with your wide audience. Learning about the severity of your illness was unexpected, and I sincerely pray for your swift recovery.

    It hurts me a lot to think about the difficulties you faced during your absence, especially the abuse you experienced during that ordeal, rather than standing by your side and giving you the support you deserve.

    Don’t hesitate to reach out for help to deter the injustice you face from the unruly, and remember that you’re not alone in facing the challenges ahead. Take care of yourself, and we eagerly await your return to full health

  33. Oluwakemi says

    Hi Liz,
    I just wanted to say that you are such a human-being, and your videos have been incredibly helpful to me and countless others in achieving our dreams. It takes courage for someone to talk about their health challenges, and you’ve shown such strength i doing so.
    I pray that God grants you divine healing and that you’ll be back to full health soon. You are beautiful.
    Your dedication to providing clear and explanatory tips i your videos has made a significant impact. I and many others surely miss you and your videos so much. I’m planning to sit for another IELTS exam in a few months, and I know your previous videos will be invaluable to me once again.
    Thank you and wishing you all the best.

    • Thanks for your message. I’m very excited to start making videos again. My next video will, I hope, be based on IELTS Writing Task 1. I’ll take a rest after making this personal video and then start filming my next lesson.

  34. Florence says

    I’m so sorry to hear about your health.
    Please take care of yourself.

  35. Sarvpreet Singh says

    Hi Liz,
    I can’t express my happiness to see you back!!
    I had been curiously waiting to see your next video since 2017, when I started reading your blog and got a tremendous knowledge and experience by watching your videos, majorly from blogs. you have immensely helped not only me but also my IELTS students as well.

    Getting your news letter was a great surprise But I felt little sad as well to see you aged. I feel really sorry that you are still suffering from your prolonged sickness. As you have done so much for us but we can’t do any thing for you. I pray to The Almighty to give you a speedy recovery.

    I also want to thank you for motivating me during the hard times of my life when my foot was severely injured and I couldn’t walk for almost three whole months. At that time, when I read your bio I came to know about your sufferings and I realised mine was just nothing in comparison.

    Liz, you are really very strong and I believe that your selfless, humble nature and the love, wishes and prayers of your students will soon make you hale and hearty. My my the One divine power bestow you with the gift of best of your health.

    lots of Love from Punjab (India)
    Get well soon!!

  36. Liz,

    I’m extremely sorry to hear about your health and illness. But I am immensely grateful to you that you thought of us, everyday, while fighting such an illness. You are one of the best teachers I’ve had in my life, and a true inspiration. I’m in awe of your dedication and resilience. To be able to come back after a decade and share your struggles with the illness and abuse, it takes a lot of heart. I’m sending lots of love and prayers your way. May you recover to live very comfortably and may you bounce back in YouTube. Take care Liz, love you a lot. <3

  38. Bilal says

    This is a nostalgic moment for us(your students) as we are happy seeing you behind camera talking to us once again and also sharing the reason of your long stay off from giving us your second to non lectures with glamorous smiles. You don’t owe us any explanation but due to your humour, you’ve done it.

    I was a “tabula rasa” before but after being introduced, to your website by a friend, I was amazed by your style of teaching. You are one of a kind.
    We will continue praying for you 🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏

    May Allāh Almighty grant you His Shifa (healing spirit).

    Aameen Thumma Aameen 🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏

    You definitely do not look the same as before, I feel so bad to see that you’ve grown much older, probably because of the underlying health conditions. You’ll always remain ever fresh in our minds. May the Almighty remove all your sickness and suffering.

  80. Hi Liz,
    Over 12 years ago, after retiring from a 40-year career in insurance, I held my first online ESL class. About a year after that, while looking for material, I came across your website—your treasure trove! Those first 12 months had been a struggle, and I was at the point of giving up and doing what retirees normally do—nothing.
    Your website, material and enthusiasm gave me the courage to continue, and as I celebrate my 74th birthday next month, I am still “at it” and have no intentions of giving up. I still use your material, your “freebies”, and a lot I purchased. For me, you own the bible for IELTS tutors.
    Liz, I was not aware of your illness, and I am extremely sorry to learn about it. You have more courage and tenacity than I will ever have. I was considering giving up next month, but this video has confirmed that I have made the right decision to continue.

  103. Bridget says

    oh God Liz, my heart is just breaking hearing all of these. I cannot even begin to imagine how challenging things must have been and I’m sending a thousand warm hugs. I first came across your channel in 2020 when I needed to do my IELTS and I was clueless. found all sorts on the internet looking and you became my favorite very quickly because of your own style. of course I passed on my first attempt and I couldn’t have done it without you. I have to move countries soon and have to take another IELTS, I didn’t have to think twice and I’ve been on your website everyday since last week. Needless to say I’ve always recommended your website over the years. You are changing lives everyday Liz and I feel so lucky our paths crossed. I hope you continue to recover and enjoy living.

    ps: My exam is next month and I’m hoping I smash it!🤞🏾

    Subject: A Heartfelt Message from a Grateful Student

    Dear Liz,

    I hope this email finds you well. It’s been quite a journey, hasn’t it? From the early days of your inspiring YouTube videos to the recent ones you’ve bravely shared, your resilience and determination have been nothing short of incredible.

    As I watched your latest video, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions—compassion for the challenges you’ve faced, admiration for your strength, and gratitude for the invaluable lessons you’ve taught me and countless others over the years.

    Your story touched me deeply. The honesty with which you shared your struggles, the vulnerability you displayed, and the courage it took to open up about your illness and the abuse you endured—it’s all a testament to your remarkable spirit.

    I want you to know that your videos have been more than just lessons in IELTS preparation for me. They’ve been a source of inspiration, encouragement, and empowerment. Your passion for teaching, your dedication to your students’ success, and your unwavering belief in the power of education have left an indelible mark on me.

    While I can’t even begin to fathom the challenges you’ve faced, I want you to know that you’re not alone on this journey. Your students, myself included, stand by you, rooting for your recovery and eagerly anticipating your return to YouTube, whenever you’re ready.

    Until then, please know that your impact extends far beyond the confines of a classroom or a computer screen. Your legacy lives on in the lives you’ve touched, the minds you’ve shaped, and the hearts you’ve inspired.

    Thank you, Liz, for everything you do. Take care of yourself, stay strong, and know that we’re all here cheering you on every step of the way.

    Warm regards,
    Dharmik

    • I’m am so deeply touched by your message to me, Dharmik. You seem to have seen beyond my words to understand what I’ve been through and also what I stand for in life. I can’t tell you how good it is to be seen after fighting so long alone in the dark. I also wish you the very best for your future. Thank you

      • I like your courage Liz, count on my prayers that the Lord may grant you a full recovery.

      • Dharmik says

        Dear Liz,

        Thank you so much for your heartfelt response. Your words mean the world to me, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to connect with you on a deeper level. Your resilience and strength are truly inspiring, and it’s an honor to stand by your side, even if it’s just through a screen.

        Your journey has touched me in ways I can’t fully express. Your courage to share your story and your commitment to making a difference in the lives of others have left a lasting impression on me. I’m humbled to have been able to offer even a small glimpse of support and understanding during your challenging times.

        As you continue on your path towards recovery, please know that you’re not alone. Your students, your admirers, and I will be here cheering you on every step of the way. Your light shines brightly, even in the darkest of times, and I have no doubt that you’ll emerge from this stronger and more resilient than ever before.

        Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors, Liz. May you continue to inspire and empower others with your wisdom and kindness. Take care of yourself, and never forget the incredible impact you’ve had on so many lives, including mine.
