Exam English, Academic English, and Business English from a teacher with 15 years' experience!

EXAM ENGLISH.

I mostly teach SAT, IELTS, and TOEFL preparation. My SAT students have achieved 350-point increases, IELTS students 3-point increases, and TOEFL students 30-point increases in their scores; with SAT students earning 1550, IELTS students 9s, and TOEFL students 110. With students who express need, I also help with their university application essays.

Even if you are scoring low right now, if you put in the effort and give yourself time to improve, there is no reason why you shouldn't get a stellar score and into your dream university. You only need the right guidance and to study. Call now and I'll tell you how.


ACADEMIC ENGLISH

Who?
For true intermediate students and above. Academic English classes are for those with general English skills who underperform in academic settings.

What?
Students learn various academic techniques that would bring your grades to a B+ minimum.

Academic English students get a personalized study program tailored to the student's specific needs with class materials directly related to your courses. Not only do you master English skills such as writing essays, analytic reading, and skim reading; you also acquire a host of invaluable study skills such as time management, listening and note-taking *the right way*. (Did you know that with the right method of note-taking, you don't have to study that much during exam week? Great, right? :)

In addition to all of these, Academic English students also get personalized General English lessons where we fill in the gaps in your grammar, vocabulary, and functions.

Excellent experience !
MY EXPERIENCE: * Although I have taught all the English tests you can think of (and just as many you can't think of-- YGS, anyone? How about OTV? :D); my experience in SAT, IELTS, and TOEFL preparation is truly vast. * In one language school, I worked as the School TOEFL expert for 2.5 years. In another language school, I worked as a School IELTS expert for 3 years 💪. * I have almost 4 years of remote education experience! CONCRETE RESULTS, CONCRETE SUCCESS * Your scores with start to improve *on the first lesson* * My SAT students have achieved 350-point increases, IELTS students 3-point increases, and TOEFL students 30-point increases in their scores; with SAT students earning 1550, IELTS students 9s, and TOEFL students 110s. SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE "Even if you are scoring low right now, if you put in the effort and give yourself time to improve, there is no reason why you shouldn't get a stellar score and into your dream university. You only need the right guidance and to study. It really is doable; I'll tell you how." WHAT MORE DO YOU GET WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME * My specific tried-and-true strategies will become second nature to you and you will be able to apply them to other important exams in the future * Hundreds of pages (per exam!) of *original* material I have developed over many many years, on top of all the best material out there and past and mock exams PLUS: * In addition to all the greatness above, all of my students benefit from my counseling and tutoring when they are preparing their applications for undergraduate/ graduate programs. From writing a CV to writing an application essay, you can learn anything you need! WANT TO TAKE CLASSES WITH YOUR BESTIES? Exam Preparation classes work best 1-on-1 or in very small groups. We can do classes with as many students as you want, but I recommend 3 students at most for Exam Preparation classes. *Please always check my availability directly with me. The chart might be outdated.

Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture.
