Ghita’s IELTS Qualifications
Scored a 8 on the IELTS
Welcome to my profile! IELTS isn't just something I teach, it's something I've lived, including the frustration of knowing you're capable of more than the score in front of you. My first attempt, a 7, was already a strong score, but I knew I could do better. To push into the 8/9 overall range, I had to aim for near-perfection: I scored 9/9 on three of the four sub-scores and 7.5 on the fourth, the kind of margin that most people don't realize is actually harder to close than the jump from a lower score. I know firsthand exactly what it takes to go from good to exceptional, and I also know how stressful and isolating exam prep can feel when English isn't your first language. Having grown up between languages and cultures myself, I understand the specific pressure international students carry into this exam, and I've cracked the code on what actually moves the needle. Let's work together to create a personalized plan that will boost your confidence and get you the score you need. Reach out to start your journey towards your target score!

About Ghita
I'm finishing the MFA at London Business School, one of the best finance programs in the world, and I got there from a solid but not famous undergrad. That's exactly the jump I help my students make. I've just lived this process, so I know what actually gets you in today, not advice from ten years ago. I also pay close attention to why people get rejected, which is often more useful than knowing why they got in. I grew up between languages and cultures, in a French international school in Morocco, and I speak three fluently. That means I understand how differently each system reads an application, whether it's UK, French, Italian or Asian. I've helped students into some of the hardest programs out there, including a top international double degree between Bocconi and ESSEC, and into the LBS MFA itself. I also work on undergraduate applications, especially in the UK system. When we work together you won't get generic tips. You'll get someone who knows exactly what each school wants and how to make you the candidate they say yes to.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it feels like to want a school that everyone tells you is out of reach. I got into one anyway, and along the way I learned that ambition matters far more than the name on your undergrad. I've seen how much a good guide changes things, and I've also seen talented people get rejected simply because no one showed them what the process really rewards. My father is a teacher, so I grew up believing that helping someone find their path is some of the most meaningful work there is. That's what this is for me. I want to be the person in your corner who makes a real difference to where you end up.
