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

Kevin is an excellent tutor. His practical approach helps you perform naturally rather than just reading a script. He also shares excellent materials and tips for self-practice between sessions. Highly recommended!

He is disciplined, creative, and genuinely supportive. After three unsuccessful OET attempts, he helped me identify my weak areas and improve step by step. He always gives his best and is available whenever I need guidance.
