*Please note that I don't offer IELTS feedback in the free 30-minute trial class. If you're interested in IELTS exam preparation, it would be done in paid classes after the trial class. The trial class is for us to discuss future classes. 

With my background as an examiner for IELTS and Cambridge Assessment (CAE, FCE, PET, KET) for over 8 years, I can accurately assess your level and provide you with targeted tasks. I understand the specific challenges that B1-C2 level learners face, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Florida Atlantic University. In addition, I have logged over 7000 hours of tutoring online over the last 4 years.

In my classes, I prioritize flexibility and strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment. I believe in infusing energy, humor, and my personality to make the learning process enjoyable and effective.

I understand that each student has a unique learning style and preferences. Therefore, my teaching methodology is adaptable to suit your needs. Whether you prefer learning through practical examples or interactive activities, I will tailor my approach accordingly.

I pride myself on being patient and understanding with different student types. If you need time to gather your thoughts or express yourself, that's fine. I will encourage you to think and provide a comfortable space for you to learn at your own pace.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in teaching international exam preparation (IELTS and Cambridge Assessment), academic English, and business English, and have offered a variety of English coaching courses to students from diverse backgrounds. I have also developed curriculum programs, tests, and teaching materials suitable for B1-C2 level learners.

By booking classes with me, you can be confident that each session is backed by a thorough preparation process, tailored specifically to address your strengths and areas for improvement.

Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a native English speaker and I have spent most of my life living and working in London, England.

I have a CELTA qualification for teaching English as a foreign language, and I also have a BA in English Literature from a central London university.

My teaching experience has been predominately online in 1-2-1 lessons, but I also have experience teaching in person to groups of children at language camp in the UK.

I plan bespoke lessons specifically to meet your needs. During the trial, or initial lesson I will spend time getting to know you and thinking about how I can best help you to meet your goals. This may be by working together on a structured curriculum, or perhaps you need to focus on your speaking skills so you can improve your confidence.

I use a variety of materials, including course books, online exercises and news articles.

I have also helped some of my students to prepare for their English Literature exams, here in the UK, or internationally. I particularly enjoy these lessons as I am passionate about literature.

I would love to help you on your language journey so I hope to meet you soon.

Hi. I am Chris and I’m a qualified and experienced teacher of English as a foreign language and a native speaker of British English. I have taken more than 6000 lessons online and have many regular students. I am very patient and passionate about the English language. My relaxed lesson style will boost your confidence, make you feel less nervous and enable you to improve your English skills by helping you sound more natural.

My lessons will help you achieve your goal of being fluent, reaching proficiency level, reducing your accent, sounding more natural and improving your vocabulary through stimulating conversation on a wide range of topics. Exam technique is as important as ability when taking IELTS or Cambridge exams, I can help you raise your score. My lesson style is relaxed and informal, I will help you feel more confident and less nervous when speaking. I allow students to speak as much as possible but I also listen very attentively for grammar and pronunciation errors and will help you to reduce mistakes through clear explanation and example sentences.

I am flexible about the content of the lessons and try to structure them according to YOUR needs. I will initially assess your level, and focus on reducing weaknesses so that you can see a clear improvement in your level and self confidence. Technique is vital to pass standard exams like IELTS and Cambridge. We will practise technique together and I will give feedback on your answers and offer suggestions on attaining a higher test score. I look forward to working with you soon!

Hello, I'm teacher Kelly and I'm a native English speaker from the UK. 

I completed my TEFL in Asia and have over 6 years teaching experience with kids and adults from a combination of working in schools and online. My students tell me I have a clear and neutral accent that is easy to understand. They often comment on my relaxed and fun energy in my lessons. 

When working with children I create vibrant and interactive lessons that include phonics, writing & reading. After each class a worksheet or activity can be given. When working with adults I also like to create fun lessons. Learning grammar is stressful and I like to focus more on conversation and simplified explanations. We learn about phrasal verbs, idioms and lots of other things a new learner should need to be able to understand and speak like a native. 

As a teacher I believe it is important to make the students feel comfortable and give them a safe space to learn and not to be afraid to make mistakes. Learning a new language is not easy it takes time and dedication, I understand this and try to build the students confidence as much as possible. 

Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to see you soon in class! 😊

Me as a Teacher
I am a professional English teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience mainly in US - NYC and UK - East Midlands. Initially as a college English and Maths teacher, these days I teach online. My learners are students who tend to improve their school grades, students who are preparing for international exams, business professionals who work or intend to work for international companies or people who learn English for pleasure.  For every individual I usually prepare some tasks for a free talk, grammar practice or a role-play situation with targeting vocabulary and phrases. There is always a summary, a given feedback at the end of the class which helps my learners to make progress highly visible.

My lessons & teaching style

I believe that every learner is different and teaching them should be personalized. I like to apply different teaching methods to see which one would be the most productive. Of course, I need to meet student several times to be able to find out his/her learning style and be able to create a teaching strategy. In my experience, an individual approach, a personalized topic and mutual effort definitely bring some fruit.
