Advert description
I have been teaching IELTS for the last 15 years. I have a university degree in English (BA, Lancaster University), a CELTA and a DELTA. I now mostly work online, based in the UK. I have been teaching online for the Yessenov Foundation for the past 5 years, teaching at Kazakh universities on two-year contracts per university - initially in-country, then online after Covid. I teach IELTS to postgrad and faculty members and general English to classes from A1 - C1 level.
Before that I ran my own school in Greece for a decade. I have worked in universities in the Gulf and Middle East, as well as high schools in Europe. I have taught Cambridge Exam Suite, IELTS, Pearson Test in English, SELT, TOEFL and TOEIC. I am conversant with all kinds of platforms and apps like MTeams, Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, WhatsApp.
My methodology is communication-based around 'learn by doing', so in class the emphasis is on speaking but also self-study. At the start I always a conduct a needs analysis from the student and work from that.
