The limits of our language mean the limits of our world. Let's discover new possibilities together! Hey! Ciao! I’m Scott, a British English teacher with a twist, I blend language learning with science and philosophy. Originally from Lancashire, I now teach in Tuscany, helping students master Medical/Scientific English, ace exams (IELTS/Cambridge), or thrive in business settings. My background? A Medical Physiology degree, and a Philosophy of Mind postgraduate cert. Fascinated by how the brain learns, I make lessons engaging and brain-friendly. Let’s break language limits together—message me to start! ***I will be away from italki in June and July. Please check back again soon for a new and updated timetable!*** After becoming a certified English teacher, I began teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. Given my professional and academic history, I often provide more specific lessons, such as: Medical and Scientific English Business and Marketing English, Academic English Cambridge and IELTS exam preparations Preparation for job interviews General conversation skills Thanks to my personal experience of learning a foreign language, I understand that the best foundation for learning a language requires passion and imagination, and it is the teacher's duty to ensure these are present during each lesson. My lessons generally focus on conversational skills while establishing a solid grammatical foundation. However, I tend to organise my lessons according to each student's personal needs and goals.

DELTA/CELTA qualified tutor with 19 years' experience in exam prep (IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE) Hi, I'm Louise and I love teaching English. I would be delighted to help you on your English learning journey. I currently live near Brighton, England, but I have also lived in Beijing, Costa Rica and Spain. When not teaching, I enjoy walking in the local countryside with my two dogs, reading, gardening, playing the concertina, accordion, violin and mandolin. I am highly qualified with both the Cambridge CELTA and DELTA. I have been teaching for nineteen years, including 7 years online. The most common feedback from my students is I’m very patient and encouraging, and that they love the energy in my classes. I love teaching Cambridge preparation courses - I have many years' experience helping my students achieve the scores they need in the IELTS, FCE, CAE and CPE General English - I explain grammar and vocabulary clearly, and give plenty of feedback I believe communicative lessons are the most effective, so although we can cover any skill you need in our sessions, there will also be lots of speaking practice. I think the best way to learn new grammar and vocabulary is in context. My students find this way helps them understand the meaning and rules more clearly. After studying it, there will be more speaking practice to ensure you remember it. Additionally, I provide more advanced alternatives to the simpler language you are already using well. I give reading and listening tasks for homework so that we have interesting topics to discuss in the next lesson.

IELTS lessons follow exam formats closely, with targeted practice, clear strategies, and detailed feedback. I also offer writing support with corrections and improvement advice. Lessons are practical, goal-focused, and adapted to what you need most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TOEIC exam, and what does it measure?

The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is a standardized test designed to assess the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers, especially in a professional or workplace context. The TOEIC exam measures a test taker’s ability to understand and use English in a business or work-related environment. It assesses listening and reading skills, which are critical for effective communication in international business settings.
TOEIC scores are not typically used for immigration purposes. These scores are primarily used for employment and educational purposes.

How is the TOEIC exam structured?

The TOEIC exam consists of two main sections: Listening Comprehension and Reading Comprehension. Each section is further divided into parts, and the total test duration is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Listening Comprehension section includes tasks related to conversations, talks, discussions, and conversations with a question-and-answer format. Test takers listen to audio recordings and respond to questions assessing their understanding of spoken English.
The Reading Comprehension section involves reading various texts, such as articles, advertisements, and workplace-related documents. Test takers answer questions that assess their understanding of written English.

How is the TOEIC exam scored?

The TOEIC exam is scored on a scale of 10 to 990 points. Each section (Listening and Reading) is scored separately, and the total score is the sum of the two section scores. The score report also provides a separate indication of performance in each section. The TOEIC exam does not have a passing or failing score. The score assesses proficiency levels, and institutions or employers set their own score requirements. The good scores on the TOEIC exam vary depending on the context and purpose. Generally, a score above 700 is considered proficient, while scores above 900 indicate advanced proficiency.
TOEIC scores are typically valid for two years from the test date. After this period, the scores expire. There is no limit to how many times you can take the TOEIC exam. However, checking with test centers for availability and scheduling details is advisable so you don’t miss out on a chance.

Are there any specific strategies to excel in the TOEIC exam?

Successfully navigating the TOEIC exam requires a combination of language skills and effective test-taking strategies. Before listening to the audio, quickly read through the questions. This helps you focus on specific information while listening. Utilize the provided scratch paper to jot down key points, numbers, and keywords during the listening passages. This can assist in answering questions accurately. Train yourself to listen actively. Focus on the main ideas, details, and speaker attitudes. Regular listening practice in English can enhance your comprehension skills. Pay attention to how words are pronounced and the intonation used by speakers. This can provide additional clues about the meaning or emphasis of a sentence.
Quickly skim through the text to understand the main topic, headings, and structure before delving into the questions. Identify and underline keywords in the questions. Look for these keywords in the text to locate the relevant information. Read the passages carefully. Note how the information is organized and know the relationships between sentences. Allocate a specific amount of time to each set of questions. Avoid spending too much time on a single question, as this could impact your ability to complete the entire section.
Work on expanding your vocabulary to express ideas more precisely during the speaking tasks. Take a few seconds to organize your thoughts before responding to a question. This helps in delivering a coherent and well-structured answer.

How can I prepare for the TOEIC exam?

Various preparation materials include official TOEIC preparation books, practice tests, and online resources. Some test takers also choose to enroll in TOEIC preparation courses. TOEIC preparation courses provide a detailed understanding of the test format, structure, and types of questions that will be encountered in each section of the exam. This familiarity helps reduce anxiety and boosts confidence.
Qualified instructors in TOEIC preparation courses provide expert guidance on language proficiency, test-taking strategies, and best practices. They offer valuable insights into what examiners look for in responses.
