Hi! I’m Kevin, a former IELTS examiner and English coach from the USA and Canada. I’ve been teaching English for over 10 years, helping hundreds of students improve their fluency, pronunciation, and confidence—especially for IELTS Speaking.
I live in Hanoi, Vietnam, and I understand the unique challenges learners face when speaking English, from sounding natural to thinking quickly under pressure. Whether your goal is to study abroad, work internationally, or simply speak English more confidently, I’ll guide you every step of the way.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus on results and real progress. My approach is supportive but structured. I’ll push you to improve while making sure you feel comfortable and motivated in every lesson.
I believe the key to success is speaking practice that’s realistic, challenging, and personalized. I use proven strategies like the Triple E Method (Explain → Example → Emotion) and IDEA Method (Introduce → Describe → Explain → Add Example) to help students give natural, high-scoring answers.
Students tell me they appreciate my clear explanations, patient corrections, and ability to make even difficult topics feel manageable.My lessons & teaching style
What you can expect in our lessons:
Targeted Speaking Practice – Focus on IELTS Speaking Parts 1, 2, and 3, or everyday conversation skills.
Detailed Feedback – I’ll identify exactly what’s keeping you from a higher band score and give you specific ways to improve.
Practical Strategies – Learn how to extend answers, speak for the full 2 minutes in Part 2, and
handle unexpected questions with confidence.
Lesson Types I Offer:
IELTS Speaking preparation (all parts, all levels)
Mock Speaking tests with scoring and feedback
General conversation and fluency building
In every class, you’ll speak most of the time, get actionable corrections, and leave with clear next steps!My teaching material
