Hello!

IELTS Speaking specialist | 15+ years teaching experience | British English | Improve fluency and confidence in real conversations. Increase your IELTS Speaking score with practical strategies, detailed feedback, and natural British English conversation. Whether you're aiming for Band 6, 7, or 8+, I'll help you speak more confidently and naturally.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy most sports, repairing my old car, travelling whenever I can, and spending quality time with my family. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, visited parts of North Africa and Asia, explored several places in the USA, and made many trips to my favourite country, Australia. Along the way, I've experienced some unforgettable sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup and the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. I'm also a loyal Manchester City supporter, so I'm always happy to chat about football! Whether you'd like to discuss travel, sports, current events, culture, or everyday life, I enjoy interesting conversations on almost any topic and look forward to helping you build your confidence in English..
