Hello there learners, I'm Chris. I help motivated learners succeed in essential English language tests to access their dream job/ life situation.

My personal style is supportive, encouraging and very positive! I can coach you in specific skills necessary for important exams, such as IELTS, OET or 'Cambridge' exams (e.g. B2 First). I also coach you in crucial language skills for interviews, such as university entry or job candidacy. I help foreign students and professionals pass exams and achieve higher grades by proof-reading their academic course work. My teaching approach is based entirely around YOUR needs and expectations. I focus on what YOU need and I let that guide what I teach and how I teach it. I discover what you already know and understand, then I build from there using many different learning materials and activities. I use an easy, communicative approach with clear, attainable goals for each lesson. You can select the lesson topics you want from a very wide range; from more personalised things, such as everyday dialogues and common activities/situations to topics such as news stories, famous people, places, things etc. Firstly, I will present the new material and we will practice it together. I will assess how well you did and give you positive feedback along with any constructive criticisms i.e. in what things you might improve and how, and I will give you lots of encouragement. We can focus on a particular skill that you need to develop more than others, for example writing or pronunciation, or presentation skills. Learning should be mostly fun, so, if desired, I will keep grammar down to a minimum and I will always encourage you to do as much speaking as possible. You can ask as many questions as you wish, as these help us both! Whatever your level, age, nationality, I will do my best to help develop your English skills while making it fun, interesting but very rewarding for you.
