Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 6 Jun 2014Argomento di interesseFilmSportMusicaLetturaCibo
Need to pass OET or reach IELTS Band 7+? I’m Kevin, a UK-native teacher specialising in speaking and writing for high-stakes exams.
Every lesson is recorded and you receive transcript-based feedback (key errors, natural upgrades, and phrases to reuse), so you always know what to change next time.
I can help with:
• OET Prep: speaking roleplays + writing letters
• IELTS Speaking Mock Test: band estimate + transcript feedback
• IELTS Writing Task 1 & 2: structure + Band 7+ style
• Express Writing Correction + Debrief: send 1 piece before; I correct it in advance
Message me your exam date + target, and I’ll recommend the best first lesson.Che tipo di insegnante sono
I’ve been teaching English since 2009 and specialise in IELTS and OET speaking and writing. I also teach interview preparation and General English (fluency, grammar, and vocabulary).
My academic background is in History & Politics, and I also hold postgraduate qualifications in Applied Linguistics. I have TEFL training and a practical, exam-focused approach: clear targets, focused correction, and step-by-step improvement.
I also run a YouTube channel, The English Native, with free IELTS/OET writing support. If you’d like the link, message me and I’ll send the best videos for your target score. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
My lessons start with a quick assessment so I can identify the highest-impact changes for you. Each session is tailored to your goal (OET/IELTS exam date, target score, and your current level).
My approach is practical and structured:
Clear lesson aims and an action plan after each session
Focus on the mistakes that lower scores (and how to fix them fast)
Targeted practice + natural “upgrade” language you can reuse
Custom materials when needed (roleplays, writing tasks, models)
If you want extra study support between lessons, I can also share relevant videos from my YouTube channel, The English Native (including my free IELTS writing course).Il mio materiale didattico

OET study and preparation. He provides personalized, specific examples, new materials, individualized feedback, and realistic role-plays. I genuinely feel that my level has improved in a meaningful way. He is highly focused, truly eager to help, and uses modern, effective tools. Most importantly, he adapts his teaching style to your needs, which makes a real difference.

I highly recommend this tutor for OET preparation. The lessons were well structured and clearly focused on the exam format and real assessment criteria. We worked in detail on Writing and Speaking, analysed common mistakes, and practised the vocabulary and logic expected by OET examiners.
The tutor has a strong understanding of OET requirements, explains everything clearly and concisely, and provides practical, targeted feedback. The learning environment was supportive and calm, which really helped reduce exam stress and build confidence.
Thank you for the high-quality and effective preparation — the lessons were truly valuable.

Kevin is a very kind and understanding teacher. For one class I was not able to prepare and I only asked to reschedule right before the lesson started, but Kevin still kindly agreed to reschedule for me. I really appreciate his flexibility and support.
