I am an English language teacher originally from London. I've been teaching English for over a decade. In addition, my training background includes personal development, art, and IT, as part of lifelong learning. My communicative lessons include help with Grammar, Vocabulary and Pronunciation for General and Specific Business Purposes. I specialize in helping students prepare for international English Language exams, such as IELTS and Cambridge First, Advanced and Proficiency. Having lived abroad, I also have the experience of learning a new language. I know it is hard work, but it can also be enjoyable. It will be rewarding, but it does need study and practice. Let's work together to help you get where you want to be!
