IELTS & Cambridge Exam Specialist | 25+ Years Experience
Helping driven learners conquer high-stakes English exams with confidence. As a qualified Irish teacher, I specialize in IELTS, Cambridge exams, and Business English—turning test anxiety into top scores.
Raising four bilingual children taught me the art of language mastery. My multimedia approach makes learning dynamic, effective, and tailored to your goals. Let’s turn your English into an asset, not just an exam.Me as a Teacher
Moving my work online inspired me to get involved in educational blogging, teacher training, and lifelong professional development. As such, my work is the result of much research into the psychology of learning, as well as hands-on experience with multi-media technology.
As a lifelong learner, I am always experimenting with new ways to learn and teach. The most important thing, however, is communication and rapport. I build confidence in my students and inspire them through communicative challenges.
I have prepared students all over the world for:
English examinations: Cambridge, Michigan, IELTS, TOEFL.
English for Academic Purposes.
Business English.

Sylvia is an excellent teacher I have ever met. She always provide abundant learning materials for my courses and guidance for self learning. If you need, there can be some homework, which are highly related to the topics during the class. Sylvia is a professional teacher with patience and always encourage you to talk more and correct your mistakes in suitable ways. You won’t miss such a good teacher! If you cannot find a suitable slot on her timetable, just connect with her directly.
