About Me

As a Head of British Curriculum at an international school, I bring extensive leadership and teaching experience to my lessons. I've spent my career not only teaching English language and literature, but also designing high-quality educational programs.
My areas of expertise include:
- General English: For daily communication.
- Business English & Interview Preparation: For professional success.
- IELTS: Strategic exam prep.
- English Literature & Language: For deeper analysis and understanding.
- Fluency & Pronunciation: For clear, confident speaking.Me as a Teacher
My teaching philosophy is built on three core pillars: results, confidence, and real-world application. Over my nine-year career, I've conducted thousands of online lessons and helped students from all over the world achieve their goals, including scoring 7.5, 8, and 8.5 on the IELTS.
As a Head of British Curriculum, I've designed and managed high-quality educational programs, so I know what it takes to create a lesson plan that is both effective and engaging. My lessons are more than just conversation practice; they are structured, purposeful, and tailored to your specific needs.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching philosophy is centered on building a complete command of English, not just memorizing answers. I believe that true mastery goes beyond the basics, so my lessons are designed to give you the strategic skills and linguistic depth needed to succeed in any context.
I go beyond typical tutoring by focusing on advanced grammar and helping you expand your vocabulary to use more sophisticated and formal language. My approach is about equipping you with the tools to develop logical, well-structured responses, giving you a powerful command of the language.My teaching material

I have been working with Thor for over four years, and I am so grateful for his guidance. We first met in 2021, when I sought his help with my IELTS preparation. As an IELTS tutor, Thor demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the exam. He identify the specific mistakes I made in my essays and speaking tasks, and he guided me on how to improve with clarity and precision.
I had difficulty understanding and addressing the essay questions in Writing Task 2. Thor patiently coached me on how to approach different prompts, which significantly boosted my confidence and performance. For reading and listening, he provided me with effective strategies to answer the questions, which proved to be very helpful.
He is now assisting me with my final assignment, providing insightful feedback that strengthens my critical thinking and ensures my writing is analytical.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking IELTS preparation or academic writing support.

Thor is one of the rarest examples of a teacher who has experience in the IELTS test since he passed through it personally. I would recommend him as a tutor for people, desiring to achieve decent results during the test, owing to some of technics which are not well-known, but vitally important for students who are focused on achieving 7.0+ in reading and speaking sections in the short term. By the way, he is a passionate mentor who sincerely loves what he does, and If you have the urge to discuss offtopic themes, Thor is ready to speak or argue with you even when your time is running out. For example, we were discussing Napoleon and his life path after the lesson had been finished and Thor had some spare-time. Nevertheless, he requires from you to work hard as he is concentrated on results. If you are not a couch potato and ready to work at a rapid pace, then take a lesson with Thor. If I had met him earlier, I would have been with the certificate abroad.

Today was my last lesson with Thor and yesterday I took finally my IELTS exam. I wanted to say that a couple of months ago I didn't even know where to begin with, I wasn't prepared to talk 2 minutes for the of the speaking exam and I was a disaster in the writing. With Thor I could finally understand what was required from the examinators, he was able to teach me tips and tricks that were really useful for my exam. He is really prepared for the writing, he knows everything that you need about the organisation, the specific words and vocabulary that you need to use and how you need to organise your ideas. He will help you at the maximum of his possibilities, if you are willing to study and to write lots of essays you will see the differences sooner that you could imagine. Also if in the beginning he seemed a little cold and detached, you will discover that he really likes his job and help people and if he's not in a hurry he will stay with you talking and laughing about every subject.

Lack of feedback. Just provide opinion about your essay but no further revision on your work. It is not worth the cost

The teacher is very knowledgeable about the IELTS exam, and has a clear understanding of the grading standards and various examination parts of the IELTS exam. After listening to my answers, the teacher also gave me some solutions to my problems.
