preparatory classes for IELTS / TOEFL / CAE / CPE exams

From 99.93 C$ /h

I graduated from the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.

I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching English, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels and with a variety of needs (general knowledge/terminology/for specific purposes), both individually and in groups.

I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).

I will help you learn weird English spelling and pronunciation with fun. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for certificates such as IELTS / TOEFL / CAE-ALCE / CPE-ECPE,
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).

I have helped a lot of students achieve their goals (prepare efficiently for an interview, get FCE/CPE/IELTS, etc.) or simply have an interesting conversation with the view to improving pronunciation/grammar.

During the lesson we can use Skype/WhatsApp or any other communicator and Google Docs simultaneously for notes.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.

I help professionals communicate clearly and confidently in meetings and stakeholder conversations in English.

If you need to lead discussions, explain decisions, or handle pushback — this is for you.

Many professionals can speak English, but struggle to:

Lead meetings confidently
Explain ideas clearly and concisely
Handle difficult conversations
Respond effectively to questions or challenges

That’s what we focus on.

With over 15 years of leading international programmes, I understand how communication works in real business environments — especially under pressure.

Sessions are practical and focused on real scenarios:

Leading and structuring meetings
Explaining complex ideas clearly
Handling questions, objections, and pushback
Speaking with clarity and confidence

This is not general English.
It’s focused coaching to help you communicate effectively in real work situations.

👉 You’ll leave each session with clear improvements you can apply immediately.
