I am a native English speaker. I have been an ESL teacher for more than 35 years in a 4 countries in schools, colleges and universities. I was an IELTS examiner for 7 years and I specialise in helping students improve their IELTS score for Immigration or Academic purposes. I have taught students mostly from age 16 to adult. I am a registered high school teacher and also have a current Working with Children Check.

My teaching method is communicative and student focused. I will assess your current level and work out a program according to your needs. I will teach you what you need to know to achieve your goals. I can teach you academic or general English and prepare you for exams or work.

Achieving a high level of English takes a long time. I will also teach you strategies to be a good language learner so that you can continue to learn and develop your English in the long term.

I can help you with:
IELTS - preparation for all aspects of the IELTS exam. I am a former IELTS Examiner

Speaking - pronunciation, everyday conversations, presentation skills and academic discussion
Listening - note-taking, listening strategies, Reading - reading strategies such as skimming and scanning, identifying main ideas, detailed comprehension, vocabulary development strategies
Writing - paragraph, topic sentences, essay structure, editing, summarising, paraphrasing, spelling, grammar and punctuation

EAL/D - help with school based EAL for students in years 10 -12
OLNA - preparation for the OLNA - OnLine Literacy and Numeracy Test in WA
Academic Writing - Proof reading service for University assignments and/or help with the language and structure of the assignment (Fee on request)

I am based in West Australia but I can help local, Interstate or International students.
Lessons will be Online using ZOOM. Contact me via email to organise a complimentary initial meeting.
