Experienced and Certified British English teacher with a relaxed and friendly style I’m from rainy England! I'm a TEFL-certified teacher with over 16 years of experience. My teaching style is relaxed but focused. In my general English lessons (called “British English”) there will always be a specific topic, and I will correct ALL of your mistakes and give quick and simple explanations when necessary. I will also try to suggest new and more native ways to express things so you can express yourself fully and sound more natural. My test and interview preparation lessons are more structured, and I have a great deal of experience teaching IELTS preparation. My main strengths are my patience, my interest in language, and my love of teaching. I hope to speak to you soon!

Ex - High School Teacher Preps CAE, IELTS and Other Exams | Online Tutor for Adults & Children Hello! Originally from Cambridgeshire in England, my journey has taken me across several countries and industries. My background in instruction began at age 16 in England near my hometown and later expanded to France and Greece. I delivered concise land-based theory and practical simulations before guiding both adults and children through skills on the water. Before moving into education, I resided 16 years in France, where I worked in the maritime industry as a deckhand and later pivoted to marine engineering. Last June I finished a year teaching English IGCSE at an international high school in Bali. The syllabus is based on reading comprehension on various texts and then applying that understanding to execute dedicated writing tasks such as essays, reports, reviews, letters, proposals and more. I have an amazing track record on Italki previously preparing students for IELTS and CAE exams and long term regular bookings for kids classes, business and conversational classes. In my free time I am very regularly at the beach surfing which is my main activity. I'm also into fishing and sailing, and I love to explore new islands in the country when I get a chance to move. I like reading and watching movies. Other interests are personal development, healthy living, business (currently working on a product), and many more. If you are looking for an experienced teacher who combines real-world experience and classroom teaching I am here to help you succeed!

CELTA-Certified Business English & IELTS Teacher | Confidence for Professionals Hi, I'm Jaron from Boston, USA. I've been living in Hong Kong for 10 years. For five years, I taught English in both international and local schools. Shortly afterwards, I pivoted to business, working in marketing and project management at small tech startups, and trading and investing in the financial markets. I also run a tech YouTube channel called "Aldaron Hardware," reviewing niche tech products and services. Outside of work, I'm into bodybuilding, fantasy writing, writing and playing music, traveling, D&D, football and spending time with my family. Between teaching and business, I've spent years working alongside second-language English speakers. That gives me a practical understanding of how English is actually used at work. Our first lesson will begin by evaluating your English level and goals. Then we will work towards confidence and competence towards fluency in any of the following areas below: - Speaking skills for presentations, interviews, negotiations, or small talk. - Reading and vocabulary skills to understand complex business language. - Writing skills for improving grammar, editing, and proofreading. If you're not interested in Business English, send me a message and we can create a customized English plan to fit your needs.

    I've really enjoyed working with Ellie. I first started taking lessons with her to prepare for an important presentation in English, and she helped me gain much more confidence than I expected. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely interested in the topics we discuss. I especially appreciate that she creates a relaxed atmosphere where speaking English feels natural and mistakes are simply part of the learning process. Her feedback is clear, practical, and always helpful, and her pronunciation coaching has made a real difference for me. If you're looking for an encouraging and effective English coach, I can definitely recommend Ellie.

    The best teacher ! The teacher’s teaching methods and procedures are well‑structured. She offers detailed practice approaches covering pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence‑building. She also assigns weekly homework to reinforce what we have learned. Talking with her is really pleasant. She is energetic throughout the whole lesson and gives me plenty of time to express myself. This is by far the lesson where I have spoken the most! I absolutely love it!

    I've had nearly 50 classes with Aeva over the past year, and it's been wonderful every single time. As someone at an intermediate-to-advanced level, I was looking for well-organized classes with a clear direction, and Aeva has been the absolute best teacher I've found so far. She is super flexible but always keeps the lessons professional. She gives practical advice and support to help me reach my goals, and she is just a genuinely sweet and kind person. It’s really hard to find a teacher who is the perfect fit, but if you're looking to improve or maintain your English at a high level, Aeva is hands down the best option for you!

    I booked a session to prepare for moderating an executive roundtable dinner in English, and it was far more than a language class. Ellen researched the topic in advance, helped me sharpen my ideas, and gave precise, practical feedback on pronunciation and on how I come across in the room. I left feeling genuinely ready. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for a high-stakes professional conversation or public speaking.

    Mia is a wonderful teacher for my 8-year-old son. Her lessons are well-planned and engaging. In our latest session they read Hiccups from the Oxford Reading Tree, and Andrew learned useful new words and phrases like "get rid of," "upside down" and "patting," each taught with clear examples from the story. After every lesson Mia sends detailed feedback, so I always know what he has covered and how he is progressing. Andrew enjoys her classes and is growing more confident in his reading and speaking. Highly recommended!

    I have been studying with Ed for more than three years, and finding him was a great success for me. My biggest problem was always listening. I knew grammar quite well and could speak, but understanding spoken English was difficult. Ed’s method is based mainly on real conversation. He helps you relax, stop worrying about mistakes, and simply start speaking. At some point, I was surprised to realize that we had already been talking for an hour, I understood everything, and the conversation felt completely natural. If you want to understand spoken English better and become more confident in speaking, Ed is a very professional teacher. He is also a very interesting person, and it is always enjoyable to talk with him about different topics. I do not often write reviews, but I am very happy to recommend Ed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IELTS exam?

IELTS, or the International English Language Testing System, is a standardized test designed to assess the language proficiency of individuals who want to study, work, or immigrate to English-speaking countries. The IELTS exam consists of four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
There is a distinction between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. IELTS Academic is typically for individuals applying to higher education institutions, while IELTS General Training is often used for immigration purposes or for entry into vocational training programs.

What is the format of the IELTS exam?

The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam consists of four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Each module assesses different language skills and is designed to evaluate a candidate’s English proficiency comprehensively.
Listening: The Listening module consists of four sections, each with 10 questions. The recordings are played only once. The recordings include conversations, monologues, and discussions about everyday situations, academic topics, and social contexts. This module lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
Reading: The Reading module has three sections, with a total of 40 questions. Texts are taken from books, newspapers, magazines, and online sources. The texts vary in style and complexity, ranging from descriptive and factual to argumentative and analytical. Questions may include multiple-choice, matching, and True/False questions. This module lasts for 60 minutes.
Writing: The Writing module is divided into two tasks: Task 1 (Report Writing for Academic/General Training) and Task 2 (Essay Writing). Task 1 (Academic) includes describing and interpreting visual data (graphs, tables, charts, diagrams). Task 1 (General Training) includes a letter based on a given situation. Task 2 (Academic and General Training) includes an essay responding to a point of view, argument, or problem. This task assesses the ability to present and justify an opinion and discuss ideas. This module lasts for 60 minutes.
Speaking: The Speaking module consists of three parts: Introduction and Interview, Long Turn, and Discussion. Introduction and interview (4-5 minutes) include general questions about familiar topics such as hobbies, family, work, and studies. Long Turn (3-4 minutes) involves a task card with a topic, and the candidate has 1 minute to prepare and take notes before speaking on the topic given. Discussion (4-5 minutes) includes a more in-depth discussion of the topic in Part 2. This section explores the candidate’s ability to express and justify opinions. This module lasts for around 11 to 14 minutes.

For how long the IELTS score is valid?

IELTS scores are generally valid for two years from the test date. There is no pass or fail in the IELTS exam. Institutions and organizations set their own score requirements, and what is considered a good score may vary.
There is no negative marking in the IELTS exam. Test takers are not penalized for incorrect answers. If you don’t qualify, you can retake the IELTS exam as often as you wish. However, there is no specified waiting period between test sittings.

How can I maximize my IELTS scores?

Familiarize yourself with the format of each module and the types of questions you will encounter. Work on enhancing your overall English language proficiency. Focus on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, as these aspects are assessed in multiple modules.
Build a diverse vocabulary by reading various materials such as newspapers, articles, and academic texts. This will help in the reading section and in expressing ideas more precisely in the writing and speaking module. Develop your writing skills by practicing essays and report writing. Pay attention to task response, coherence, and cohesion. Practice under timed conditions to simulate the exam environment.
Allocate specific amounts of time for each task in the Writing section. Develop a plan for organizing your ideas and writing efficiently within the time constraints. Listen to a variety of English accents and practice note-taking. Focus on understanding the main ideas, supporting details, and the speaker’s attitude.

How should I prepare for the IELTS exam?

Preparation for the IELTS exam involves familiarizing yourself with the test format, practicing with sample questions, and improving your English language skills. Many candidates find it helpful to take IELTS preparation courses or work with tutors.
