About Me

We can discuss your needs, that way, you can be sure I'm the right person to help you...before you invest time and money to your learning. I also have limited time available for teaching at particular times of the year. Please do not assume I can book you in at short notice. I do not want you to be disappointed.

Hello! My name is Anthea. I am Australian, but I currently live in Penang, Malaysia.

I work exclusively with people preparing for OET or needing to prepare for health care interviews.

I do not work weekends.

I am a preparation provider for OET and have years of experience helping health care professionals become proficient and confident in English. I can help you prepare for the OET, or converse confidently with colleagues, patients or within social groups.

I am a Registered Nurse with over 25 years of clinical experience and over three years of OET coaching experience. I understand the health care and wellness industry. My clinical experience has been in

* Emergency
* Health Management
* Mental Health
*Drug and Alcohol
* Justice Health
* GP practices.

I understand the particular difficulties health care professionals face and the skill sets required to be effective. Helping people traverse these difficulties has been my focus for the past 28 years.

I also have a writing course on Udemy for Doctors and Nurses.

I enjoy real-world conversational and occupational/contextual English. I have many interests, so there is no shortage of things to discuss.

My teaching style is relaxed, supportive and interactive.
* I give extensive written feedback to help you continue improving, particularly in the areas of writing and speaking.
* You will get to learn the English language in context for your needs.
* The lessons will involve activities that are practical, relevant and focused on your goals.

You are not just "another student" to me. As we work together to build your English competency and fluency, we will get to know each other. The lessons will be relevant and focused on your needs.

My areas of specialty
- Effective communication in the clinical setting
- Confidence building.

I use supplementary materials and resources. Some examples include YouTube, podcasts, and homework on relevant topics. It all depends on your needs.

Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions.

My trial lessons

Before the trial lesson I will request scores from an official OET sample test you have completed. This will include sending me a letter. I will mark and give feedback during the lesson.

If you do not attempt a sample test prior to the lesson, we will discuss your perceived problem areas in the four skills being assessed.

If time allows, we will attempt a quick roleplay for you to understand the structure of the speaking exam and allow me to assess your spoken English.
