I am a qualified IELTS/TOEFL coach. I have been teaching since 2021. I have helped my students prepare for the IELTS and TOEFL exams. I equip my students with the skills they need to tackle the IELTS or TOEFL exams. I show my students different ways to answer questions and things to consider for each exam. My students practice real exam questions in each class and I give them tips on how to answer the questions in each section of the exam.
I have also helped my students improve their grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary in Business and General English. They have been able to prepare for interviews, presentations, and meetings. With my help, my students have been able to write their cover letters successfully. My students have also been able to improve their fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
My teaching style is a combination of cool and calm yet energetic instruction. I love creating materials that are tailored to my students' needs and including activities that can be fun and interesting for my students.
TEACHING MATERIALS:
🌟Pictures
🌟Worksheets
🌟Past exam papers
Each student has their own unique style of learning therefore I adapt my teaching style to suit my student. I want my students to remember what they have learned for as long as possible therefore repetition and practice are important.
