Hi! I’m Amy, a certified English tutor specializing in IELTS and Cambridge exam success (C1 Advanced, B1/B2 PET). With 5000+ teaching hours, I’ve helped students from Italy to China ace exams, often with top scores! As a lifelong language lover (I speak Swahili and dabble in Turkish/Italian!), my goal is to help you you speak confidently, whether for tests, business, or travel. My own adventures, scuba diving in Africa or solo trips across the Europe and the Middle East, taught me how language bridges cultures. Let’s make English your passport too!Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified English tutor with a proven track record of helping students worldwide achieve their language goals, particularly in excelling at challenging exams like IELTS and Cambridge (PET, B1, B2 First, C1 Advanced). I'm especially proud of the success my students have had across various countries: I've helped numerous learners from Italy, France, Poland, and Spain to not only pass their Cambridge exams for job interviews and career advancement, but also to secure high IELTS scores, enabling them to move abroad for work or study.
I hold a Level 5 TEFL Diploma from Highfield, and my lessons are always tailored to your individual goals, learning style, and current level. Expect a frien My lessons & teaching style
I believe in personalized learning. I create my own comprehensive lesson plans and materials, offering a variety of engaging topics for you to choose from so you can discuss what truly interests you.
During our conversations, I'll actively listen and provide immediate, constructive feedback on grammar and pronunciation. I'll help you correct mistakes in a supportive way and introduce you to natural English expressions, including idioms and phrasal verbs, to make your speech sound more authentic. I also have effective methods for helping you learn and retain new vocabulary by consistently integrating it into future lessons.
