I am a QTS-certified specialist English teacher, with a wealth of experience in both literature and second language teaching. Our focus will be on promoting a range of English skills and helping you towards two crucial outcomes. Firstly, you will become proficient and make progress towards your goals in whichever English language specification you are pursuing. Secondly, you will develop your general English skill and improve your practical English proficiency. I will not just prepare you for the test, I will also coach you on how to use these English skills in everyday life! I specialise in IELTS, as it is where I have the majority of my experience, but I am also familiar with TOEFL specifications and will happily adapt to your needs. After a short assessment in our first session, all future lessons will be tailored entirely to your own needs. Likely I will set you a piece of homework every week, depending on what those needs are.

I am a native English speaker with UK Qualified Teacher Status and more than five years’ experience teaching English. More recently, I have come to specialise in IELTS and other ESL specifications. I am experienced in teaching pupils whose second language is English, and I adapt lessons for your personal strengths and needs. My first lesson will focus on finding what the you are good at and how you can improve your English, and I will plan all future lessons based on what you need to learn. With my help, you or your child can learn to speak, write, listen and read English like a native!
