Hi! I'm a CELTA-certified native English teacher and Cambridge Speaking Examiner. I have over 15 years of experience preparing students for the B2 First (FCE) exam, and, importantly, I have also evaluated hundreds of students in my role as an official Cambridge Speaking Examiner. I know exactly what examiners are looking for in every part of the test, because I am one!Minha atuação como professor
I've spent 15 years teaching English in schools and language academies around the world, from the UK, to Thailand, to beautiful Mexico where I now live. As a teacher I love to create a warm and friendly, but productive, environment for my students.
Over the last 12 years my teaching has been focused heavily on Cambridge exam preparation. The combination of my experience preparing students, and my experience officially assessing students for Cambridge, means I understand the FCE from both sides: what students struggle with, and what examiners actually reward.
My qualifications include:
- Certified Cambridge Speaking Examiner
- Cambridge CELTA
- Cambridge TKT Modules 1, 2 and 3 Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
In my lessons you’ll receive:
- Full authentic FCE speaking mocks with immediate examiner-style scoring and detailed feedback on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar
- Targeted writing practice with band-score breakdowns, model answers, and specific fixes for task achievement, cohesion, and range
- Practical insider strategies and personalised study plans that actually work in the real exam
You’ll leave each session knowing exactly what to improve and how to do it. And exam prep doesn't have to be boring, we will have fun too!
If you’re serious about passing the FCE with a strong grade, book a class today.
Looking forward to helping you succeed!Meu material de ensino
