Patrick is exceptional in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of his students and helping them develop effective strategies to answer IELTS speaking and writing questions properly. His pragmatic approach has proven extremely successful: I boosted my writing score from 7.5 to 8.5 by following his advice - far exceeding my expectations. Be prepared to have your misconceptions about achieving high band scores challenged - as an experienced former IELTS examiner, his suggestions sound simple but are exceedingly powerful. I am so fortunate to have had him as my coach during my IELTS preparation journey.

Patrick is the most outstanding teacher I’ve ever had. I honestly believe it’s impossible not to pass your exams if you study with Patrick. In every lesson, he gives so much knowledge, confidence, and energy that you leave truly motivated to keep going. I’ve never experienced such genuine support and interest from a teacher before. Thank you so much!

The lessons have been such a valuable and enjoyable experience for me. Thank you for your expertise and endless patience, which made the classes both professional and approachable. As a student from China, I truly admire your teaching style, which so many of us greatly appreciate.
You have gained an excellent reputation on RedNote, where many of your former students recommend you not only for your outstanding lessons but also for your humor, kindness, and, of course, your adorable cats! Your classes are not only inspiring but have also helped me grow personally. Although I started out feeling shy and unsure about expressing myself, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my confidence, and that’s all thanks to your encouragement and support.
It has been a privilege to learn from you. Wishing you a happy New Year and sending my best wishes from China!
