My lessons are for students who really want to make a difference in their level of English. I specialise in three areas: • Preparing students for IELTS, Cambridge First (FCE), Cambridge Advanced (CAE) and Proficiency (CPE) • Helping students who have a reasonably good grounding in grammar but feel inadequate in spoken English • Helping students achieve a native-like accent As a former Cambridge examiner for speaking exams over a period of about 20 years I have a lot of experience in preparing students for speaking exams. I have taught students for Cambridge exams for over 30 years with a high degree of success. Working in S E Asia I wrote two textbooks for Brunei and Singapore exams.

A wonderful, naturally talented teacher, a true professional in his field. I have taken the Academic IELTS preparation classes, which have helped me to take my writing and speaking skills to the next level within a tight deadline. I am sure I can handle any IELTS task now.

I take lessons with John in preparation for my CPE exam. The lessons are very encouraging and especially the speaking practice is very useful as it will certainly be my weak point in the exam and it is helpful to know in advance the type of setting I will be in and what procedure to expect. Thank you very much, John!
