A bit about Charles B

If you are aiming for a top UK university but need to quickly raise your English level, then look no further! I have been an IELTS examiner for 18 years and prepared students for the IELTS exam for over 20 years - having also worked as a senior teacher for the British Council. I can help you to significantly raise your level of performance across all the language components. I follow a holistic, topic based approach which builds all the exam skills you need and significantly improves your vocabulary range and therefore your communicative effectiveness both on paper and orally. I will focus the lessons entirely around your individual learning needs and structure each one according to the learning objectives that will optimise your language development. I have been tutoring for over 15 years and have taught all nationalities, ages, etc. I prepare my lessons with the utmost care and ensure that feedback on oral tasks and written work centres around the IELTS mark schemes giving you a clear understanding of exactly what you need to improve your level of English. I get a tremendous buzz from helping my students to realise their learning objectives and to reach their desired university destinations. My lessons are focused, purposeful and very engaging. Every learning activity has a clear purpose I will have high expectations of you so that you will see a noticeable improvement in a very short time. Being a tutor enables me to work individually with you and I am motivated by helping you to achieve your life ambitions. If the tutor understands the learner's needs and can identify the most effective method of achieving these, while giving 100% commitment and energy, then this will have a fruitful outcome. I am 100% supportive and have their best interests at heart. Also that I am highly experienced and understand the exam inside out.
