About Me
italki teacher since Aug 24, 2016InterestsReadingTechTravelGamingSports & Fitness
I’m a certified Cambridge examiner with over 12 years of experience helping students achieve high scores in IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge exams. Many of my students have reached Band 7+ in IELTS or passed CAE and CPE to study or work abroad.
I know how stressful exams can be, so I focus on practical strategies to build confidence, improve test techniques, and boost performance under pressure.
Alongside exam preparation, I also teach general and conversational English for learners who want to improve fluency in everyday life or at work.
Outside of teaching, I’m a marathon runner, cyclist and football fan — so perseverance and motivation are always part of my lessons!
I passed the CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Cambridge University in 2013, and I have been working as an English in schools and online since then.
I have taught people of all ages from all over the world with many different needs. From general English to exam preparation to conversation practice, I have a lot of experience.
I have been particularly successful in preparing students for exams. Specifically, IELTS, C2 Proficiency (CPE), C1 Advanced (CAE), B2 First (FCE) and Linguaskill, as well as other more unique exams
In general English classes, we often speak a lot, but this speaking is focused on specific topics and input such as texts, audio, quizzes etc. Then we look at vocabulary or grammar from the input (depending on the purpose of the lesson) so we can learn i...My teaching material

My name is Francesca, I'm using my partner account to leave a review about Nathan. He was superb helping me with my IELTS test, he gave me the best suggestions to understand the tests and to achieve my goal (7 overal and nothing under 6.5).
I did my IELTS 3 times before met him and then, after few intensive lessons, I smashed it!!
Thank you Nathan for your help, I helped me to change my life in better and move abroad.
Best choice ever!!

Nathan has a personalized approach. First, we work together during classes. After identifying your difficulties, he does specifics exercises to improve your weakest point. He is always opened for questions and focused in the student’s needs. Despite the long way ahead of me, it seems to get a bit easier each day. Studying with Nathan, I feel more confident and prepared for the TOEFL exam.

The lesson was well organized. We checked my homework, and I learned new information. The atmosphere was very warm and motivating for learning a foreign language. Nathan explains it beautifully.
