Bio:

I've 9+ years experience of teaching online and have helped many people to pass key exams, such as the IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE AND TOEFL exams. I also help people to pass key job interviews that they might have to do in English. I can help around the application process for both universities (application forms, personal statements and interviews) and for jobs (cover letters, CVs etc. I can also provide a specialist course to improve your active vocabulary and offer conversation lessons

My teaching methodology:

My teaching background:

I've 9+ years experience of teaching students, from all around the world. 90% of my work has been online teaching, although I have also delivered some in-person teaching. I have mainly helped students to pass key exams, such as the IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE AND TOEFL. I mainly help with the speaking and writing sections of the exam, but can help with any section of the exam and find that students often especially need help with the Use of English section of the Cambridge exams. I have also helped people with job interviews and Business English as well as all aspects of written English. Equally, I have provided a large number of conversational lessons, designed to boost confidence and fluency, when speaking.

My background outside of teaching:

Before going into teaching, I was a professional bid writer for around 20 years, working with charities helping animals and disabled people. My interests outside of teaching include: Nature and animals, sports (swimming, playing tennis and watching numerous sports such as football, cricket and American Football), current affairs and politics, travel and the theatre.
