About Me

Preparing the IELTS or TOEFL? I am experienced with examining and tutoring students for IELTS (Academic + General) and TOEFL since 2012. I have helped over 90+ students reach their target score. I also have experience with interview preparation.

For my conversation lessons, you will do 70% of the talking, and I will provide constructive corrections and constant feedback.

I specialize in IELTS speaking and writing (I offer 2 different courses!).

I am a PROFESSIONAL Canadian teacher with 8 years of international experience. With me, you will have an engaging and professional class, with homework and study materials included. I will also send you a PDF file with grammar points and vocabulary discussed during the lesson.

I am also a TOEFL tutor for those planning on taking the TOEFL iBT test, I offer a 5 lesson course!

I have extensive training in tutoring and examining potential IELTS students who are doing both the Academic and General test. I can help you with specific speaking suggestions for IELTS parts 1, 2, and 3, including pronunciation and intonation skills that an IELTS examiner will look for. I can help you achieve your best score using time management skills for writing tasks 1 and 2.

5 Lesson IELTS COURSE - For students who have only one month of preparation time and are nearing the date of their exam.

10 Lesson IELTS COURSE - For students who have more than one month of preparation time available.

***Policy please read*****
*I will not reschedule any lessons under the 24 hour limit. The student must do this independently as soon as possible otherwise the lesson is considered completed.

I have a TEFL 120 hour teaching certificate and n Honours degree in Modern Languages and ESL methodology from a Canadian university.

I base my lessons on the communicative teaching approach. We can work on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but the most important thing is to put it into practice through conversation (learning materials included)!
I hope to speak to you soon!
