I’m a UK-qualified English teacher and Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) specialist, with experience preparing students specifically for the CAE exam. I work with motivated learners who want clear guidance, honest feedback, and measurable improvement — not vague “advanced English” practice. I specialise in helping students: understand exactly what CAE examiners are looking for avoid common grade-losing mistakes improve accuracy, coherence, and control at C1 level develop reliable exam-day strategies for all four papers I’ve supported students aiming for Grade B or A in CAE, including retakers and strong English users who feel stuck just below C1. Many of my students are professionals or

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 • 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
