What Others Say




Skype Classes
I teach internationally via Skype. If you'd like to improve your English or prepare for an English proficiency exam like IELTS, TOEFL, CAE, FCE, OET, Aptis, etc., you can first book a free* 20-minute consultation before getting started. And oh, don't forget to take my online placement test to get to know your English level; this will make our consultation more fruitful.
*online consultation and online placement test are both offered for free
