Hello, I am Kevin, a native English teacher from the UK. I specialise in OET, IELTS, and TOEFL, especially the writing and speaking sections, so contact me if you need help with those! As well as this, I can help with most things to do with English, such as grammar, pronunciation, various other exams, and anything else you might need!
I have taught in several countries around the world and now live in Central Europe. I also have a YouTube channel (The English Native) where I make videos about writing for IELTS and OET.
So, feel free to write to me anytime and let's see what we can do to improve your English in 2025!..Me as a Teacher
I have been working as a teacher since 2009 and have lived in Turkey, China, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and now Slovakia. I specialize in IELTS/PTE/OET/TOEFL and other exams but I can also help with general English, conversation, grammar, and vocabulary development.
My background is in History and Politics, and I hold BA and MA/MRes degrees in both those subjects as well as in Applied Linguistics. I also hold several teaching certificates for TEFL, etc.
I have a YouTube channel with many videos for OET and IELTS writing, have a look and contact me if you need help with either..https://www.youtube.com/c/TheEnglishNativeMy lessons & teaching style
My lessons are based on a thorough initial assessment of the learner, and I adapt my teaching accordingly, to the student's needs, learning style, and what the outcome of the lesson is.
I make my own materials, videos, books, etc when required, and choose a methodology that best matches the individual student.My teaching material

He is an excellant teacher. The lesson strategies are very good. Although we have only done 3 lessons, my confidence in OET has increased a lot. While I thought I would not pass the exam, I am now hopeful that I can pass.

From the very first lesson, it was clear that Kevin is passionate about the subject and dedicated to helping each student succeed.
He makes complex concepts clear, and his feedback is always constructive, helping me grow as a writer and speaker.
I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I’ve gained under his guidance. I feel more confident in my English abilities, and I look forward to applying what I've learned in my career as a nurse.
