InterestsHistoryArtFoodScienceReading
I’m a UK-qualified English teacher and exam specialist with extensive experience preparing students for IELTS, Cambridge CAE & CPE, and OET. I work with motivated learners who want clear guidance, honest feedback, and measurable score improvement.
I specialise in helping students:
• understand exactly what examiners want
• avoid common band-losing mistakes
• improve accuracy, coherence, and confidence
• develop strong exam-day strategies
I’ve supported students aiming for Band 7+ in IELTS, Grade B/A in CAE, CPE pass, and OET success for professional registration. Many of my students are professionals, university applicants, or experienced English users who feel “stuck” just below their targe
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I’m structured, calm, and very clear. I don’t just correct your English — I show you why something works, how examiners mark it, and what to do instead next time.
You’ll always know:
• what level you’re working at
• what’s holding your score back
• how to fix it efficiently
I’m supportive but honest. If something isn’t exam-ready, I’ll tell you — and then help you improve it step by step. Students often say they finally understand the exam after just a few lessons.
I’m especially good at working with:
• high-level students (B2–C1+)
• professionals and healthcare workers
• anxious test-takers
• students retaking an exam
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are exam-focused, personalised, and practical. We work directly with real exam tasks, band descriptors, and proven strategies — not generic conversation or random exercises.
Depending on your exam and level, lessons may include:
• targeted Speaking practice with examiner-style feedback
• Writing correction using band descriptors
• Listening & Reading strategy training
• language upgrading for higher bands/grades
• timed practice and exam simulations
You’ll receive:
• clear correction and improvement models
• specific homework (optional but recommended)
• strategies you can reuse independently
• honest score guidance
Lessons are suitable for:
✔ IELTS Academic & General
✔ Cambridge CAE
