OET • IELTS • Business English | 25+ Years Experience
Hello, I’m Nick — a TEFL-certified British English teacher with 25+ years of experience helping professionals and motivated learners achieve real results.
I specialise in OET preparation (speaking, writing, and roleplay) for healthcare professionals, IELTS coaching (Band 7+), and Business English for interviews, presentations, and workplace communication. My lessons focus on fluency, exam strategy, and building confidence.
My journey began in New Zealand and later took me to Japan, where I ran two successful conversation schools. Now based in the UK, I teach online with structured, supportive lessons tailored to your goals.Moi en tant que professeur
