Introduction:

Exam preparation and Teacher Mentoring, with General English conversation and fluency practice.

I have Master's degree in English Teaching and have worked with students in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia over the last ten years. I enjoy having conversations about lots of different subjects, and I can give you feedback on your pronunciation or help you develop your vocabulary by understanding difficult English phrases or idioms. I can help you answer your questions about grammar or structure, and help point you towards good self-study materials so that you can develop your language quickly!

I have worked with many students to understand and raise their IELTS scores to help them study in the UK and Europe. We can look at how the IELTS exam is scored, and help you to think like an examiner! We can practice the different sections of the exam, and I can give you an idea of what the demands of each are.

In the past I have also worked as a teacher trainer, and so I can help English teachers over the world raise their English level and solve their teaching problems. We can also discuss methodology and theory and improve your approach to professional development.

I look forward to working with you!
