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!
I have taught in several countries around the world and now live in Central Europe. When not teaching English and helping people pass their exams, I am an amateur chef with my own cookery blog (Kev's Kitchen), and I am also a tour guide in the Slovak forests at the weekends. I also have a YouTube channel (The English Native) where I make videos about writing for IELTS and OET.Ik als leerkracht
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/TheEnglishNativeMijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
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.Mijn lesmateriaal

Certificate in TEFL/TESOL - i-to-i - 2008This is the certificate I submitted previously when I joined italki in 2014. In the 160 hour course we covered exam prep, although in general terms. However, since 2014 I have had over 2,000 lessons in exam prep on italki and my student reviews and success rate speaks for itself. As well as this, in the years inbetween working in China/TurkeyHungary/Czechia/Slovakia, I have taught such lessons in many institutions as you can see from my resume https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin
