Exam Preparation - The TEFL Org - 2024In this course, I widened and deepened my understanding of the most common English proficiency examinations around the world and how to assess my students' exact needs throughout their preparation time. To pass this course, I created a suite of four lessons designed to be implemented halfway through a Cambridge exam preparation course, before using one of these lessons to craft an in-depth step-by-step lesson plan considering students' individual needs and how best to prepare them.

Laura is a teacher who is very committed to her students' progress. You can immediately feel her empathy and her concern to meet each student's expectations. She has a wonderful southern English accent. And she is able to cover a wide range of subjects. I have to admit that I found her the ideal person to help me improve my fluency and become more grammatically precise and correct.
