This is the certificate I submitted previously when I joined italki in 2014. In the 160 hour course we covered exam prep, although in general terms. However, since 2014 I have had over 2,000 lessons in exam prep on italki and my student reviews and success rate speaks for itself. As well as this, in the years inbetween working in China/TurkeyHungary/Czechia/Slovakia, I have taught such lessons in many institutions as you can see from my resume https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin
