TOEFL iBT or Essentials and Duolingo (DET) Preparation

From 41 C$ /h

We'll first review your target score, any practice or previous exams you've taken and when your application deadlines are to make a study plan. We'll review the sections of the exam that you want to work on together, as some students preparing for the TOEFL iBT only want tutoring on a specific section.

We isolate each task to discuss the best strategy for each, then practice it. When you're comfortable, then we'll move on to the next task. I can provide homework if you'd like and I can also provide additional materials if there's something that needs fixing, like a particular grammar topic.

Extra information

Have something to take notes if you're preparing for the TOEFL. We will also use Google Docs.

English for all levels from an experienced native English teacher

43 C$ /h

Our classes will be based on your goals and current level. I teach from the pre-intermediate level to advanced and prefer working with teens and adults. It's ok if you have short term goals, like interview preparation, resume writing or preparing for a trip. It's also ok if your goals are long term where we can make a structured plan to improve every area: speaking, writing, listening and reading.

How do you learn best? We can use a book, songs, TED Talks and a variety of other material.

American Football for Beginners and Intermediates: It's not just people running into each other

40 C$ /h

This class is designed for people who want to understand American Football. It's a common thought that "it's just people running into each other", but it's like chess (just more physical) and you will understand why. We will assess your beginning knowledge and where you want your final understanding to be. By the end of our classes, you will be able to understand the basic rules, the flow of a game, terminology and how it ends.

I also have a board game that we can play (I'll send you the files) that uses actual strategy. Once you get some basics, we can use this tool to put things into practice.

Hi! I'm Victor, an incoming Master's student at Lund University with strong, real-world English proficiency (C1), built through years of academic study, professional work, and daily use in international environments — including writing and editing as a cultural journalist and completing university coursework entirely in English.

I offer English lessons for beginners to advanced learners, focused on practical conversational fluency, writing skills, and exam preparation — including IELTS. Whether you want to build speaking confidence, improve your writing, or need structured, targeted preparation to hit a specific IELTS band score, I tailor each lesson to your goals, timeline, and current level.

For IELTS specifically, I can help with all four sections — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — with a particular focus on essay structure, argument development, and precise, varied vocabulary for the Writing and Speaking tasks, drawing on my own academic and journalistic writing background. I can also help you build a realistic study plan if you're preparing for a test date.

As a multilingual speaker (Portuguese native, English C1, Italian C1, plus basic Spanish), I know firsthand what it takes to learn a language to a high level as an adult, and I explain grammar clearly without over-complicating it.

What I can help with:
- Conversational English for everyday situations and travel;
- Grammar, sentence structure, and accuracy;
- Writing skills (essays, emails, academic writing);
- IELTS preparation (all four sections, with focus on Writing & Speaking);
- Reading comprehension and vocabulary building;
- General exam or interview preparation in English

Lessons available online or in person in Lund/Malmö. Flexible scheduling around evenings and weekends.

Forte de plus de 6 ans d'expérience en préparation aux tests standardisés et en conseil d'admission, j'ai accompagné plus de 600 étudiants vers des résultats d'excellence, avec un taux de placement de 100% dans les universités visées. J'ai moi-même obtenu un score de 115/120 au TOEFL.

Ce cours couvre l'ensemble des sections du TOEFL (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing) à travers une méthode structurée : diagnostic initial précis, stratégies ciblées par section, entraînement chronométré et simulations d'examen complètes en conditions réelles. J'accorde une attention particulière à la partie Speaking, souvent la plus délicate pour les francophones, avec un travail spécifique sur la fluidité, la structuration des réponses et la gestion du temps.

Au-delà du score, je travaille avec chaque étudiant sur la confiance à l'oral, la rapidité de lecture et d'écoute, et l'intégration du TOEFL dans une stratégie de candidature globale. Mon approche est exigeante mais toujours adaptée à l'étudiant en face de moi : je limite volontairement le nombre d'étudiants que j'accompagne pour garantir un suivi de qualité premium.
