I am a native speaker, ex-IELTS examiner, and ex-English college manager who has helped hundreds of students achieve their English goals.
I have a TEFL certificate, a Masters Degree in Writing, and I have been teaching English for more than 15 years. (Evidence of all qualifications including IELTS examining can be provided upon request.)
I generally teach between 9am and 8pm WEST (Western European Standard Time) Monday to Friday, and on Saturday mornings until 12pm.
I use a wide range of materials, including the latest, cutting edge texts.
I teach both IELTS Preparation and General English skills.
IELTS Preparation
If you need help with writing, I will provide detailed, written feedback on your tasks, as well as lessons where you can ask me for more information on the parts you don't understand. We can also work on your documents together in real time using Google Docs. I will also give you grammar and vocabulary exercises for homework.
If you need help with speaking, we will practice Parts 1, 2 and 3, focusing especially on confidence, pronunciation and fluency. (I specialise in teaching pronunciation).
General English
We will use a variety of the latest textbooks to improve your speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary and pronunciation.
I am really looking forward to helping you if you are ready to work hard to achieve your dream.
Cheers,
Nicola
