Ciao! I’m Jade, a British English teacher specialising in IELTS and Cambridge exam prep; helping students ace tests since 2019! As a language learner myself (currently battling Italian verbs!), I know the hurdles you face. Let’s turn your goals into victories with tailored strategies and confidence boosts. When I’m not teaching, I’m exploring history, visiting museums or hiking; Proof that learning never stops!Me as a Teacher
I am a fun and energetic teacher, with a caring, patient nature. I take the time to monitor your progress and adapt learning materials to suit your needs. It's really important to me that as a student, you are happy and comfortable. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons involve quick and fun warm-ups, a main activity and a summary or report at the end of the class. I like to congratulate my students on skills they demonstrated very well during the lesson. It is also helpful for you to know which areas you may need to improve. I will go through these carefully with you, and give you the relevant materials (online exercises, articles or games) to help you to overcome your challenges.
Please note that I update my teaching schedule on a weekly basis. Be sure to check my availability each week for updated slots!My teaching material

online ESL teacherI have valuable experience teaching students of all ages (adults and children) from a range of different cultural backgrounds. Students' abilities varied from beginner to advanced/fluent.
During my time at Cambly, I gained experience in planning future lessons, assessments, noting progress and supporting students' specific goals such as practising for IELTS exams, school homework, interviews, or conversational English in preparation for moving to an English-speaking country.

It was only the first lesson but I can say that Jade is an amazing teacher. We can talk about life and focus on exam tasks at the same time. I feel comfortable talking to her and making mistakes is not scary at all! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone professional but with a caring attitude.

I have been practicing for the C1 Cambridge exam with Jade for a while, and after all these lessons, I can finally conclude that not only is Jade an outstanding teacher, but she is also a wonderful person. If you decide to take Cambridge preparation lessons with her, she will make sure you improve and feel more confident. She will also ensure that you practice enough and will give you feedback so that you can address your weaknesses. I'm very pleased to have had her as a teacher because she really buoyed me up when I wanted to give up and gave me the strength to bite the bullet and tackle this exam with more energy than ever. Hopefully, I will get my C1 thanks to her.
