How lessons with Mike work for readers in Ireland

These are private lessons for one student. Mike teaches every session, so you work with the same teacher each time. He holds the Cambridge CELTA (July 2017), has taught English and IELTS for more than twelve years in Vietnam, Turkey and Iran, and scored 8.5 in Speaking in his own IELTS. About Mike has more detail.

Lessons are live on Google Meet, in English. Each one lasts 60 minutes and can cover Listening, Reading, Writing (Task 1 and Task 2) or Speaking (Parts 1 to 3), on their own or mixed. There is no fixed course, no subscription and no package: you book sessions as you need them.

The time difference between Ireland and Hanoi

Hanoi is on UTC+7 all year and does not change its clocks. Ireland uses winter time (GMT) and summer time, one hour ahead, and changes its clocks twice a year. So Hanoi is 7 hours ahead of Ireland in winter and 6 hours ahead in summer.

In winter, 19:00 in Hanoi is 12:00 in Ireland.
In summer, 19:00 in Hanoi is 13:00 in Ireland.

You do not need to convert anything. The calendar on the booking page shows every slot in your own time zone, and it also adjusts when the clocks change. Which slots are open depends on Mike's calendar, and no particular hours are promised, so check it first if you can study only at fixed times.

Booking and paying

Open the booking page and pick a slot in your own time.
See your price, then pay with PayPal or USDT. PayPal charges the US-dollar equivalent and states the exact amount at checkout.

The price for Ireland is shown on the booking page before you pay. If the student is under 18, a parent or guardian first agrees to a short consent letter before the booking is made.

Booking the IELTS test in Ireland

Band Booster is not a test centre and does not register candidates or set test fees. The test is booked with a provider. This section was read on the providers' pages in October 2026, so confirm it before you book.

IDP IELTS Ireland lists one centre in Dublin and lets you choose a date and start booking online, with a clear scan or photo of your passport uploaded.
The ielts.org centre list for Ireland shows more venues, in Dublin, Galway and Cork, most of them on the British Council route, and one tagged UKVI Approved. It says to check availability with the centre.

Dates and fees are set by the provider, so look at the current figures on their pages. Our guide to test centres in Ireland, dates and fees page and booking and ID page go into each step.

The format of the test

ielts.org says that from mid-2026 IELTS is no longer offered on paper, with timelines varying by market. IDP's Irish page on IELTS on computer says Listening, Reading and Writing are on a computer and Speaking is a face-to-face interview with an examiner. Confirm the format on your booking. More is on the page about IELTS on computer in Ireland.

Academic or General Training

Per ielts.org, Academic suits study and can be used for professional registration, while General Training suits migration and everyday English. Check which one your university, employer or registration body asks for. Our comparison explains the difference, and Irish university scores shows what some universities ask.

If you are weighing a tutor against a course

A class in Dublin or elsewhere gives you a timetable and classmates. A one-to-one lesson is shaped around a single student, but it depends on open slots in Mike's calendar. Neither format can promise a band. The guide on how to choose an online IELTS tutor lists questions that apply to any tutor.

Common questions

Can I take one-to-one IELTS lessons from Ireland?

Yes. Mike teaches live on Google Meet from Hanoi, in English, and you join from wherever you are in Ireland. The booking calendar shows each slot in your own time. No band is promised.

What is the time difference between Ireland and Hanoi?

Hanoi stays on UTC+7 all year. Ireland changes its clocks, so Hanoi is 7 hours ahead in winter and 6 hours ahead in summer. The booking page shows each slot in your own time, so you do not convert it.

How do I pay for lessons?

You can pay with PayPal, using a card through PayPal if you prefer, or with USDT. The booking page shows your price first. PayPal charges the US-dollar equivalent and states the exact amount at checkout.

Can I reschedule a lesson?

Yes, at no charge up to 12 hours before the slot. There is no subscription or package, so you book sessions as you need them.

What happens after I pay?

A Google Meet link and a calendar invite arrive by email right after payment. Your account holds receipts and written progress notes.

Do you book the IELTS test for me?

No. Band Booster is not a test centre. You book the test with IDP or the British Council, using the provider pages linked above, and check dates and fees there.

Can a student under 18 book?

Yes, but a parent or guardian first agrees to a short consent letter before the booking is made. The guardian's email must match the booking email, so the receipt and the Meet invitation go to them.

Is there a trial lesson?

There is a paid 30-minute trial, which each student can book once, on the first booking. It is not free. A regular lesson lasts 60 minutes.
