Professional English Language Tutor Specialising in IELTS, Academic English, and Business Communication

With over 15 years of dedicated teaching experience, I hold postgraduate degrees in English, Theory of Literature, and Business Administration. My extensive background encompasses a wide array of English syllabuses, including IB, AP, Cambridge, and Canadian curricula, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of diverse academic frameworks.

Having spent three years in China, I have successfully assisted numerous students in preparing for the IELTS examination. My approach is student-centred, crafting personalised lesson plans that align with individual goals and proficiency levels. This tailored methodology has consistently led to students achieving their desired scores, reflecting the effectiveness of my teaching strategies.

Beyond exam preparation, I offer specialised instruction in English Literature, focusing on AP and IB English Literature, as well as Cambridge English and English Literature GCSE, AS, and A-Level studies. My lessons delve into critical analysis, fostering a deep appreciation and understanding of literary works.

In addition to academic instruction, I provide conversation classes aimed at enhancing English speaking skills for both business and personal contexts. Drawing from my extensive experience in business management, I integrate practical language usage relevant to the workplace, equipping students with the communication skills necessary for professional success.

Currently based in South Africa, I bring a global perspective to my teaching, enriched by my international experience in China. I am committed to delivering high-quality, engaging lessons that cater to the unique needs of each student.

Hi there! I'm teacher Dio and I have been a teacher for over a decade. I love what I do - I am passionate about languages. I speak 3 languages (Portuguese, Spanish and of course, English). I've lived in Germany, Ireland, and I just recently moved to Spain. I am telling you this because that means I KNOW how learning a language works.  

Something that is important to know is that you DON'T need to live in an English-speaking country to learn English effectively. Everything really is all about you taking some minutes of your day to study and to surround yourself with the language! I am a certified teacher and my experience over the years shows that you don't need to be brilliant, you just need to be committed in order to learn another language.

Some other info about me:

I am certified by the Cambridge University (CELTA), and I also hold a TEFL Certificate. I have been teaching English for over 10 years, and I have helped students from all around the world. Currently I offer two main courses:

- CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH - This course focuses on fluency, pronunciation, learning a lot of new vocabulary and preparing presentations about different topics! - There are lots of different topics and you can choose from!

- IELTS & FCE/CAE EXAM PREPARATION - I have a 25-lesson course that will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know to pass the IELTS/CAE exams with flying colors! - In addition to that, I have a lot of extra materials you can use to improve your grammar and writing skills!  

If your English level isn't very high, we can also discuss a course that will be aimed to give you a solid base so that you feel confident to express yourself in English.

Thank you so much for reading through this page and I look forward to meeting you!

Let me introduce myself to you, and watch my video. 

Hi! I’m Jackie — a native English speaker from the United States with a passion for learning and teaching languages. I currently live in the rainy but beautiful United Kingdom. ☔🇬🇧

I hold a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate of Education) in Modern Foreign Languages and have been teaching both in the classroom and online since 2011. I love helping people from all over the world improve their English, reach their goals, and enjoy the learning process along the way!

I have a warm, friendly teaching style and want you to feel relaxed and confident in my lessons. I truly believe language learning should be fun, motivating, and something you look forward to. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, learning style, and ambitions so you can see real, meaningful progress.

✨ Accent Coaching & Pronunciation Training ✨
If improving your accent and pronunciation is important to you, you’re in the right place! I am a certified Accent Specialist and specialise in helping learners speak more clearly, naturally, and confidently. I create personalised accent training plans that focus on mouth positioning, key English sounds, stress, rhythm, and intonation — so you don’t just learn what to say, but how to say it comfortably and accurately.

In your trial or first lesson, we’ll discuss your specific goals and design a learning plan that suits you. This may include structured lessons with grammar and comprehension, conversational practice for fluency and confidence, exam preparation (IELTS or TOEFL), or targeted pronunciation and accent work.

I use a wide range of engaging materials including presentations, course books, and authentic articles and videos.

Correcting mistakes is an important part of learning, but I always do this in a kind and supportive way — without interrupting your flow or making you feel nervous. After each lesson, I send you detailed notes with key vocabulary, corrections, and guidance so you can continue improving between lessons.

I would love to support you on your English journey and look forward to meeting you!

Hi there! I’m Debbie and live in South Africa.

I’m a qualified teacher with a bachelor’s degree and a CELTA qualification from Cambridge - for teaching English as a foreign language. I have over 30 years of experience teaching English in classrooms and online to ALL levels of learners.

I specialize in improving fluency and confidence in daily conversation at home and at work. My approach is holistic which means we will use relevant topics and speaking tasks to learn new words and practice language skills.

My goal is that you improve!

I understand that speaking English fluently and naturally is YOUR goal and that you might need help in a particular area – like grammar accuracy or pronunciation and intonation, or a wider set of active vocabulary. You may struggle with listening or reading or writing. These are all areas I can help you improve – once we have identified what you need.

We’ll use a shared document to record your growing vocabulary and highlight areas you need to fix. You will have a written record of every lesson with notes and tips that I will provide. Lessons will be conversational and fun but also informative. After every lesson you will get detailed and constructive feedback from me, so you know exactly what to work on.

On a personal note, I enjoy travelling with my family and spending time in nature. We have a dog, a few goldfish and 2 adorable guineapigs that keep us company at home. I love connecting with people from all over the world so meeting you is something I’m really looking forward to! 

Book a lesson and let’s get going on your language journey!

Hello — I’m Tim, a professional English teacher from England with five years’ experience teaching online. I trained at International House London, where I gained the Cambridge CELTA qualification, and I’ve worked with students of all levels from a wide range of countries.

I’m also a Spanish learner myself (around B2–C1), so I understand from experience how challenging it can be to learn and use a foreign language in real situations.

My teaching is communicative and practical. Lessons are designed to give you plenty of speaking practice in a relaxed, supportive environment, with clear and focused feedback. Depending on your goals, we can work through a structured course, focus on developing fluency through conversation (particularly at B1+ level), or prepare specifically for IELTS and Cambridge English exams, including Cambridge First (B2) and Cambridge Advanced (C1).

I place particular emphasis on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation that are genuinely useful outside the classroom. I use a range of up-to-date materials — including articles, audio, videos, and modern textbooks — and I adapt lessons to topics that interest you and suit how you learn.

In a trial lesson, we’ll get to know each other, assess your current level, and create a clear, realistic plan to help you make steady, long-term progress.
