Online tutor in EAL, English, ESL, Essay Writing, IELTS, PTE, Study Skills

My name is Martin and I am from the UK but now live in South Korea where I work at a University tutoring international students. I offer a range of courses such as IELTS preparation, business communication, as well as general English conversation skills. Teaching students really does give me a chance to connect with people and it is incredibly rewarding seeing how my students achieve what they set out to do.

I offer students a unique and personal experience with their lessons where they can develop the confidence to improve their conversation skills regardless the situation. All my students improve their IELTS score with time and there is need to buy any coursebooks or material for lessons. My main philosophy is for students to communicate and that is what I focus on achieving with my lessons. I do not lecture to students but give all students a voice.

Most of my students go on to study at UK universities and improve their confidence for their academic studies. However, I am happy to teach a range of skills or focus on areas that the student wishes to develop.

I am usually available during most days and almost every weekend for students where I can be contacted via email. I can teach either in-person or online, whatever is suitable for potential students.

Experience

I have taught many students from a range of countries for over 20 years. I have prepared many students for the IELTS examination for entry to universities around the world. I hold a BA (Hons) Degree, a CELTA, a Diploma in language teaching, an MA, as well as a young learner extension certificate. I teach a variety of courses ranging from IELTS preparation to business communication skills.

My teaching focuses on communication, speaking and developing student confidence with their second language. I also support students with their IELTS writing tasks and offer assistance where necessary. Many of my students have achieved success with their English and I have been involved with teaching high profile individuals and clients. Students of my courses have continued their studies or achieved academic success.
