Welcome to my profile! Why work with me? I earned an IELTS Band 8 at age 15 and haven't stopped since. By combining my engineering background with over 1,000+ lessons taught on Preply, I’ve traded boring textbooks for a results-driven system. I don't just teach the language, I give you the technical edge and real-world fluency you need to succeed. My Qualities: 🏆 5 Years of Professional Impact: I’ve spent the last 5 years transforming the way students learn, moving away from textbooks and into real-world fluency. 🎓 The 8+ IELTS Guarantee: My students don't just "take" the IELTS; they master it. I specialize in the strategies needed to hit a Band 8 or higher. 🛡️ Double-Certified Authority: As a TESOL and TEFL certified instructor, I bring international standards to every single session. ⚙️ The Technical Edge: With a background in Electromechanical Engineering, I am the go-to mentor for STEM professionals who need to speak the language of industry and innovation. 📈 Grade Recovery Specialist: I’ve helped dozens of secondary and university students jump from struggling to excelling, with a 95% success rate in grade improvement. 🎤 Interview Mastery: I maintain a 100% success rate in helping clients nail high-stakes job and university interviews. If you have a seat to win, I’ll help you take it. 🌍 Travel & Fluency Coach: Whether you're moving abroad or traveling the world, I teach you the functional English you actually need to survive and thrive. 🚀 My Philosophy: No boring drills. No fluff. Just high-engagement roleplays and simulations designed to make you sound natural, professional, and confident. 🚀 Five Things You’ll Love About Our Lessons 📌 1. A Plan Built Just For You I don’t do "one size fits all." Whether you’re a teen trying to fix your school grades or a professional prepping for a big promotion, I build a roadmap that fits your specific goals and your pace. 📌 2. Learning Through Doing (No Boring Drills!) We skip the endless grammar tables. Instead, we use real-life simulations. We’ll roleplay technical troubleshooting, practice business meetings, or rehearse travel scenarios so you're ready for the real world. 📌 3. Real Materials for the Real World I use my own custom-made handouts, news articles, and videos. You’ll learn the English people actually speak today, not the stiff language found in old textbooks. 📌 4. The "Polyglot Advantage" (FR / ES / DE) Since I speak French, Spanish, and German, I understand exactly why you might be getting stuck. I’ll help you stop "translating in your head" and teach you how to express your thoughts naturally in English. 📌 5. A Safe Space to Build Confidence Many students are afraid of making mistakes. I’m here to change that. I provide a supportive, high-energy environment where you can mess up, learn, and eventually speak with total confidence. 📈 Why My Students Succeed: 🎓 IELTS Specialist: My students consistently hit a 7.5+ band score. 🏆 Fully Certified: I hold both TESOL and TEFL international certifications. ⚙️ Tech & Engineering Pro: I’m the perfect match for STEM students and professionals. 🎤 Interview Ready: I have a 100% success rate in coaching students for jobs and university spots.
