My lessons are for students who really want to make a difference in their level of English. I specialise in three areas: • Preparing students for IELTS, Cambridge First (FCE), Cambridge Advanced (CAE) and Proficiency (CPE) • Helping students who have a reasonably good grounding in grammar but feel inadequate in spoken English • Helping students achieve a native-like accent As a former Cambridge examiner for speaking exams over a period of about 20 years I have a lot of experience in preparing students for speaking exams. I have taught students for Cambridge exams for over 30 years with a high degree of success. Working in S E Asia I wrote two textbooks for Brunei and Singapore exams.

A wonderful, naturally talented teacher, a true professional in his field. I have taken the Academic IELTS preparation classes, which have helped me to take my writing and speaking skills to the next level within a tight deadline. I am sure I can handle any IELTS task now.

John is very energetic and focused; it's a pleasure to follow his lessons. He corrected my writing and we practised some speaking together. His lessons have been very well structured
