Hello House
Does anyone know of a good Ielts lesson in Nigeria , especially online tutoring
HI, Lagosismyhome. No need to spend money on the hungry lions (tutorials ), I can lend the person my IELTS materials.. Bought them for a $100,used them once.. I will lend the person. If you know the person. No need to sign up for classes. IELTS is a little bit like WAEC, the answers are staring at you. And it's step by step.

I have a few materials on IELTS that might help but they are really not much. Her best bet would be to visit www.ieltsbuddy.com there are so many resources should could benefit from there. Truth is you don't really need a tutorial for the Exam. Everything can be done virtually. For the speaking, tell her to watch videos on YouTube. There are so many videos on how to ace the speaking test. For the writing, she should go to playstore abi na app store and download ielts app for writing. I can't remember the particular one I used as I have deleted it but she should go with the one with the best reviews and highest rating. She can practice listening on ielts buddy. Com and official British Council website. Ko lo tun ku? Reading.. This involves techniques but I can help with hints.

I tell you. I was given 500 dollars worth of scholarship per semester on books. And the money cannot be used on any other thing except books. if you dont use it all on books, it wastes.

Operation flew to better school for better scholarship

You dont have to do any preparation. ....where ur stop over .. just follow d signs of people coming out. Usually if u dont have visa for that stop over country then u shouldnt come out of the airport...just walk around in d airport and find something to do while time goes. make sure you note the boarding time of your connecting flight and be infront of the gate in good time so u dont miss the connecting flight....

Its easy , once u there instinct will lead u

Will my time ( wrist watch) frm Nigeria still correct with the boarding time please?

No your time is only correct when you are in nigeria..... any other connecting time , arriving , departing or landing time is based on the time at that particular airport ...... for example if u leave lagos at 1pm then yes thats lagos time and next if your next flight in from Dubai 4pm. then 4pm is Dubai time to arrive newyork 9am that means the plane lands at 9am newyork time

U can ask or there usually free Internet at some airport so u can check google or you can plan ahead. .. note what the key times u need and convert it to Nigeria time and note it but surely u should be able to ask someone what the time is....also if u look at the board that has various flight information/ gates numbers usually there is a time on it that is reflective of the local time of that particular airport

Transport in USA. is very easy and safe.
Interconnecting flights between towns are quick but expensive.
There are railways.
Also Greyhound and local buses.
All simple and safe to use.

On your boarding paper /pass d airline gives when u check in would be the boarding gate no And boarding time or in some cases d no wont be out ontime so u would be told to look at the board to get your boarding gate ....i am.talking of your connecting flight. So your boarding gate is the area of an airport where passenger for that particular flight would wait and also enter the plane from.... most airports are big so u need to know where in d airport they will lead u into the plane . That called a boarding gate and be there on time as well because after some time boarding closes

Regarding into arrival hall i dont know if u mean in relation to your connecting flight or your final direction. however its easy , u see what others are doing just observe and follow. .....even if u are doing it wrong someone will correct u... JJC is ok too no problem. .... alsoask any airport staff for clarification. They are usually helpful
