English Language Tutor-Secondary & High School Students, Exams & Academic English

Advert description
I am a highly qualified English tutor with extensive experience teaching students across Europe and Asia, working with a wide range of learners from secondary and high‑school students to adults preparing for English exams and academic study. My approach combines strong subject knowledge with clear, structured teaching, so learners understand exactly what is expected and how to improve.

Who these lessons are for

• Secondary and high‑school students
• Young adults preparing for English exams or academic study
• Learners who understand English but struggle with clarity, structure, or confidence in assessments

Areas supported

• General English (reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, speaking)
• EFL exams, including IELTS, Cambridge exams (B2 First, C1 Advanced), and school‑based English assessments
• English for Academic Purposes (EAP), including academic writing, referencing, and independent study skills

How lessons work

Lessons are structured, calm, and supportive. Each session includes:
• Clear objectives and step‑by‑step guidance
• Focused practice with detailed feedback
• Targeted grammar and vocabulary work
• Support with organising ideas clearly and accurately

Teaching is adapted to your level and needs, building confidence alongside skill. You receive clear, structured feedback on progress, and lessons are carefully tailored to your specific strengths and gaps. Alongside lessons, I provide precisely targeted guidance for independent study, so you know exactly what to practise between sessions and why. This ensures progress is measurable, focused, and aligned with exam or academic goals.

Lesson focus

• Speaking clearly and confidently in exams and assessments
• Listening and Reading comprehension and academic analysis
• Essay structure and clear written expression
• Grammar accuracy and sentence control
• Vocabulary for precise and effective communication

My focus is on how answers are built, helping students communicate what they know more clearly and perform more consistently.

Qualifications & professional background

• LTCL DipTESOL
• PGCE TESOL
• MA and Post Graduate Business Qualifications
• Former EFL examination examiner, with direct insight into assessment criteria and marking expectations
