ALLAN
Hello!
Hi! I know you hear many similar greetings from tutors, but this is our first meeting, and I truly value understanding your specific needs so I can prepare lessons tailored to help you grow. I specialise in exam preparation, including IELTS, Cambridge FCE (B2 First), Duolingo English Test, CELPIP. I’ve helped many students achieve their target scores and academic goals. I support all four IELTS skills — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — as well as interview preparation for jobs and universities, with over 20 student success stories. Please note: IELTS preparation requires pre-booking or advance notice, as I do not teach IELTS in a first meeting lesson. Proper preparation time is typically 4–6 months. My background includes work in travel, theatre, human resources, and as a National Editor/Producer of audiobooks and magazines for the blind and reading-impaired. I am also a qualified teacher. From grammar to conversation, my goal is your success. Let’s meet, learn, and enjoy the journey to English fluency together!
I have worked in and written for professional theatre, and have been honoured with awards for my theatre writing. I also bring international Human Resources experience, which allows me to effectively help candidates prepare for job interviews with confidence. I am passionate about travel, reading, good music, and international cuisine. I have taught both nationally and internationally in Theatre and English, sharing my love for creativity and expression. I enjoy cooking, creating, connecting with nature, and immersing myself in new cultures and experiences around the world.

Teaching Style
I am a fun, kind, and patient tutor who believes learning should be both effective and enjoyable. Creating a relaxed, supportive environment is very important to me, as students learn best when they feel comfortable and confident. My lessons are engaging, encouraging, and designed to make every student feel motivated while having fun on their learning journey.
