As the importance of dominating English grows in the world our children are entering, so too does the importance of gaining recognised English Language Proficiency certificates and passing the exams needed to get one. Whether you are helping your child increase their proficiency level or an adult learner doing it for yourself, I have customed courses for levels B1, B2, and C1 for the following certifications and systems; 

​

  • The British Council IELTS

  • The European Council IET

  • Trinity College ISE & ESOL

  • Cambridge TKD/CELTA/DELTA

​

and others. I can prepare you or your child for the reading, writing, speaking, listening, and advanced skills needed to successfully pass these exams and up your recognised proficiency level. Everything from live text analysis and summaries, practise exercises and exam questions from previous year's tests, advanced reading and writing skills, and more.  A longer course is recommended in place of a intensive one because that way I can ensure all principles are understood and refined in time.
