Hi, I’m Lee – nice to meet you! 🤝
I have 8 years of English teaching experience and have worked at academies in the UK, Spain, and Austria. I’ve helped hundreds of students pass Cambridge exams (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE).
I’ve also taught IELTS, APTIS, Linguaskills, and LanguageCERT. I hold a CertTESOL (Master’s level) with 600+ teaching hours. I’ve volunteered in the Philippines and Indonesia and speak Spanish and Portuguese at a B2 level (DELE certified for Spanish).Me as a Teacher

As always Lee shows his exceptional talent in teaching. All our lessons fly by with vast enjoyment and productivity. Not only does he teach new material efficiently, but he also ensures that the student uses all the previous knowledge appropriately. Never have I had a chance to see a teacher like him with such a burning ambition to help a student progress by a mile. It has been a long time since we embarked on our journey to excel in English. And now when I look back on what we've attained together I can say confidently that he is the best teacher ever!

I highly recommend Lee McRae! He is easy-going and really great to work with. The lessons always include interesting and effective tasks that truly help move the conversation forward. The teacher focuses on advanced English structures, explaining them clearly and encouraging me to use them in practice. Thanks to that approach, I’ve become more confident speaking and using complex phrases in real-life situations.
