Brisbane tutor in English, ESL, IELTS, Russian

I’m a CELTA-qualified educator with 8+ years of tutoring adults and young professionals in 1:1 and small groups. My background includes an MSc in Engineering Systems & Management (Khalifa University), ELICOS teaching in Brisbane, corporate training at Eton Institute (Abu Dhabi), university research at Zayed University.

Availability (Brisbane time): weekdays (morning–evening) and Saturday mornings; other times by arrangement.

Contact: Tutor Finder messages are best; email/phone available on request.

Preferred meeting place: Online (Zoom/Google Meet).

Why I enjoy tutoring: I love building confidence and real outcomes. Seeing learners use new language the very next day is my biggest reward.

Expertise:

English for Work & Corporate Communication (emails, meetings, presentations)
IELTS preparation (A2–B2)
Academic/Technical & Business English
Russian for adults (A0–B2)
Career coaching for international students/professionals

My approach: communicative, task-based, and goal-driven. I personalise content with AI tools, authentic texts, and industry-relevant scenarios. We track progress with simple rubrics and short, measurable tasks.

Lesson structure: quick warm-up → focus language (useful phrases/grammar) → guided practice → realistic task (email/call/mini-presentation) → feedback & next steps. Homework is concise and practical.

Materials & textbooks: custom worksheets and slides; Google Docs shared notes; recommended series include English File and Cambridge IELTS. I supply all materials.

Levels taught: Adults & University; Senior High (upper levels); corporate teams; exam candidates (IELTS).

Bilingual RU/EN (plus Spanish B1, Arabic A1). Happy to run a free 15-minute level check and mini-plan.
