This is for you to tell me what you want and for me to tell you how, and if, I can help. I would appreciate a message beforehand telling me a little about yourself and your situation regarding your English needs. 

If you have any special requests, such as writing assessment for IELTS or OET for example, you can send me some writing samples beforehand and we can talk about those. Or if you want a mock speaking test, just let me know and we can work something out for sure.

Prepare confidently for both OET Speaking and OET Writing with practical coaching designed for healthcare professionals.

OET Speaking (Roleplays)
We’ll practise realistic consultations and focus on the exact skills that raise your score:
Natural opening + confirming details + agenda setting
Clear explanations (patient-friendly language)
Empathy/reassurance + checking understanding
Pronunciation, clarity, and fluency under pressure
Feedback mapped to OET criteria (A–E)

Every speaking lesson is recorded and you receive transcript-based feedback so you can review your exact wording, see corrections, and learn stronger “Band-A” alternatives.

OET Writing (Letters)
You’ll learn how to produce strong letters with the right purpose, tone, and relevance:
What to include/omit from case notes (prioritising)
Clear paragraphing and organisation
Concise clinical style (no unnecessary details)
Common examiner penalties and how to avoid them
Model upgrades (better key lines / paragraphs)

Best first lesson
If you’re not sure where you stand, start with a speaking roleplay + writing review, and I’ll suggest the fastest plan based on your exam date.

One-off writing correction?
If you only want a single piece corrected quickly, book my separate lesson:
“Express Writing Correction + Debrief: OET Letter / IELTS Task 1 / Task 2.”

Ideal for
Nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals aiming for OET B (and above) who want structured improvement in speaking and writing.
