Academic English

Having studied in a second language and a second country myself, I know how much academic English quietly asks of you: the structure, the precision, the formal register that essays and applications expect, and the confidence to speak up in a seminar. We work on exactly the skills your course or application needs, with honest, detailed feedback, so your writing reads as clear, formal and credible, and your spoken English holds its own at university level.

English for Work & LifeUniversity-level writing and speaking, clear, formal and credible, from someone who studied it abroad.

Class content

  • Academic writing: we build structure, argument and the precise phrasing that scores, always working from your real essays and tasks rather than invented ones.
  • Register and style: the formal tone and the academic moves, hedging, signposting, citing, that quietly make writing sound credible.
  • Reading and research: reading dense sources efficiently and writing about them accurately, in your own words, without sliding into copying.
  • Speaking up: seminars, presentations and discussion, with the confidence to actually contribute rather than just sit there.
  • Real feedback: I mark in detail and we revise together, so each draft teaches you something that makes the next one stronger before I even see it.

How we work

We start from a real piece of your writing or a real task you are facing, so the work is never abstract. I mark in detail, we revise together, and over a few drafts you start to internalise the moves, so you improve the next piece before you hand it to me.

Tracking & WhatsApp

After every session I write down where you are, your band or score per skill and the one thing to fix next, so you are never guessing about your progress. Between lessons you can message me on WhatsApp, a quick question, a sentence you are stuck on, your homework, so nothing has to wait a whole week.
