Pol said, "Anthony is ultimately the best English teacher I have ever had. His classes were not like the typical ones, boring and repetitive. His classes were outstanding, I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot from his different techniques. He helped me pass an exam which I only had less than 2 months two prepare and that a lot of other English teachers told me that I would not pass it. Finally, I pass the exam thanks to him and I also learned much more with him than what I had learned in the previous years."

Yelina commented, "My daughter is 4.5 years old and she’s been with Anthony to learn English for around 6 months already. He knows how to talk and convince my daughter to speak. He’s also very creative trying to leverage many different ways of teaching to keep kids interested and focused. She’s progressing well by speaking full sentences and asking/answer questions logically. Thanks, Anthony, and I look forward to many more future sessions."

Lucy mentioned, "He is the best teacher that you’ve ever see! I have been learning English with Tony for over a year, he is so nice and interesting. We’ve been talking about sports, food and so on. What's more, he really helped me with my confidence. Now I enjoy talking in front of my classmates, and I do appreciate that I met Tony one year ago."

LEGAL/LAW CLASS ~ ALSO MEDICINE CLASS: HOW TO TRANSFER AND BECOME A DOCTOR IN THE UNITED STATES OR IN AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY

How should you learn legal English?
Law schools usually provide reading lists for their students, including books and articles they are expected to read. If your interest is professional, you should start here with me. I would advise you not to begin with simple vocabulary lists, as they lack context. It is very important to understand how legal terms are used in real situations, and this knowledge can best be acquired by reading authentic legal texts that incorporate the words you want to master.

If you find such texts difficult, you might want to start by reading legal mystery novels, such as those by John Grisham. They are entertaining and will help you become familiar with the most commonly used legal terms.

Below, you will find a general list of terms that, although not presented in context, will help you recognize how these words are applied in practice. As a representative at the negotiating tables of the United States government in international academic contexts, I have developed advanced skills regarding the legal environment.

MEDICINE CLASS: HOW TO BECOME A DOCTOR IN THE UNITED STATES OR IN AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY

Doctors are perhaps the professional group that most urgently needs knowledge of English, since most research and advances in the health sector are published in this language. In addition, many medical and pharmacology conferences are conducted in English. For this reason, learning English is a necessity that cannot be postponed.

The city of Philadelphia is the headquarters of the ECFMG. If you are a doctor or a member of the health-care staff, you will understand its importance. I have worked for many years in my city helping doctors from all over the world prepare for the exams required by this commission and by the USMLE.

LEGAL/LAW CLASS:
You never expect to have run-ins with the law while traveling; however, they do happen from time to time. Oftentimes, mix-ups with the law while visiting foreign countries come from simple misunderstandings of laws and customs that can easily be resolved with a smile and a sincere apology. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to add some basic legal vocabulary and expressions to your Spanish repertoire before you set out. Keep this list handy during your travels, as it can help you sound respectful, knowledgeable, and cooperative in Spanish when addressing law enforcement.

In these lessons, you will learn legal vocabulary and gain an understanding of Spanish law. This course is aimed at lawyers and law students who would like to become familiar with the Spanish legal system. As a representative at the negotiating tables of the United States government in international academic contexts, I have developed advanced skills regarding the legal environment, especially in relation to Latin American countries and Spain.

MEDICINE CLASS IN SPANISH – Medical Spanish:
Why Learn Medical Spanish?

To start a career in health care: Learning Spanish will improve your employability in a number of career fields, including health care. Even without formal training in nursing or medicine, there are plenty of health care careers in which knowing Spanish will help you get your foot in the door. For instance, many hospitals and clinics need receptionists and medical translators.

To improve your employment options if you are already in health care: Learning Spanish offers significant economic benefits. In areas with a large Spanish-speaking population, speaking Spanish can give you the advantage you need to secure a better position.

SPEAKING PRACTICE: 

If you want to get some speaking practice but aren't sure whether to book lessons, then this lesson is for you! Let's get you speaking fluently now :)

If you are interested, tell me what your level is, what your goals are, what activities you enjoy, and what you'd like to focus on.

EXAM PREP FOR SPEAKING EXAMS

If you're preparing for an exam, and not sure who to study with or what to focus on, I'm your teacher. As an ex-FCE, Starters, Movers, Flyers, and KET examiner, I know what you should be focused on. In 30 minutes, I can give you a full mock exam for KET, PET, FCE, or IELTS + feedback.

If you'd like some speaking practice for exam prep, tell me what exam you are preparing for, what your previous results were, what your difficulties speaking are, and what mark you are aiming for.

Nervous about taking a Cambridge examination? Why not join an ex-KET and FCE examiner (me) for a lesson and get speaking practice using exam material,  tips, and advice on how to improve your speaking in all areas (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, interactive communication)?

If you're struggling to get the band mark in IELTS that you want, you're lucky because I've helped hundreds of students like you get the bandmark they want. A one-hour lesson is enough time for 2 full mock exams + feedback using the public bad descriptors (criteria for band marks) https://www.ielts.org/-/media/pdfs/speaking-band-descriptors.ashx?la=en . Get an accurate bandmark for your speaking, know exactly when to take your exam, and know what to focus on.

All lessons are followed up by an email with a summary of things learnt, weakness to work on, and advice on further study. When relevant, links to material, such as videos, articles, pdfs, and websites are also given.

If you're interested in a lesson, make sure you tell me which exam you are preparing for, give me background about your previous English studies, and what your goal is?

IELTS, KET (A2 KEY), PET, and FCE Speaking Practice

If you’ve been struggling with your IELTS writing, or been stuck at a specific band mark, then look no further. I’ve helped hundreds if not thousands achieve their IELTS writing goals, and you’re no exception! 

I offer 2 kinds of lessons for both General and Academic:

1)IELTS Writing Lessons 

In these lessons, I will teach you all about the different question types, the requirements of the tasks, how marks are given, and tips on how to get the band mark you are aiming for. I will go in depth into the marking criteria. This will give you a clear idea exactly what you need to do to get the band mark you want. I also clarify the most common mistakes that are made that limit the band mark of most students.

2)Feedback on Writing

In these lessons, I ask for writing 2 days in advance, 2-4 written tasks, task 1s or 2s. I correct the writing for grammatical and lexical mistakes before the lesson, and throughout the lesson I clarify the mistakes made in all 4 criteria (TA, CC, LR, and GRA) in accordance with the public band descriptors, which is a public document shared by IELTS that explains the requirements. I give advice on how to improve, and further study. 

In a 1 hour lesson, I can give feedback on 2-3 written tasks. In 30 minutes. Any unfinished tasks can be covered in the following lesson.

After the lesson

After the lesson, I send a message with a summary of the main points made in the lesson, and for the feedback I send a document with a correction of the grammatical and lexical mistakes, and highlighted parts for the other types of mistakes. I also send resources for further study.

Want a lesson?

Send me a message explaining your goals, previous experience with the IELTS exam, difficulties, and if you want a feedback lesson, send me 2-3 written tasks from the Cambridge examination books 5-13 at least 2 days in advance so that I can check your writing. Most other publishers have faulty questions so I only check ones from the Cambridge examination books.
