Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I like to make my lessons informative, interactive, and focused. I always get as much information about my students so that I can prepare and conduct lessons that focus on the student's weaknesses, goals, and desires. I incorporate a wide range of materials to make learning as effective, efficient, and fun as possible:) I share resources for further study, such as youtube videos, articles, pdfs, and google documents after the lesson. This helps to make my students more independent learners, and speeds up the learning process. I also assign homework, which I check at the beginning of each lesson.

Hi, guys. I want to share my experience learning with teacher Fletcher. I took my second IELTs test in April and got 6.5 in the speaking part and 6 in the writing part, which was exactly the same score I had as the first time. At that time, I was so frustrated and didn't know how to improve myself. Luckily, I found Saf. At the very first lesson, he flagged out my weaknesses and strengths. I stuck to his plan for me, and finally, I achieved my goal(both 7 in speaking and writing) within 2 and a half months. At the same time, he gave me some advice to improve my listening skills (from 7.5 to 8.5). All in all, if you have found Fletcher, just do what he asks you to do, and I believe you will get your dream score as well.
大家好,我想分享一下我和Fletcher老师学习的经验。我在遇到老师前上过国内机构和老师的一对一课程,确实有一定的效果,但是再想要突破很难。我的两次雅思成绩都差不多,听阅说写7.5,8.5,6.5,6。我在五月份开始上Saf的课,主要是口语和写作,一共不到15节,老师第一堂课就给我做了模拟,找到了我的缺点所在,并不断加强,2个半月后老师认为我可以到7分的水平了 ,然后我去参加考试真的得到了我想要的分数,8.5,8.5,7,7。所以我觉得大家完全可以相信Saf。只要按照老师要求做,相信大家都能得到想要的成绩。

I am an IELTS specialist tutor with an overall band 9 (academic) and I have decided to take the test again to see if I could increase my writing score from 8. I have known Fletcher for a couple of years now and he is one of the few IELTS tutors I would turn to for assessment of my own tasks. I have learnt a lot from him about the IELTS test and how it is graded, including in this session, when he identified issues in 3 of my task 2s. Thanks, Fletcher and wishing you the best!

I am incredibly grateful to have had Saf as my English teacher. Saf's teaching style is both inspiring and effective, creating a learning experience that is enjoyable and productive.
Saf has a talent for breaking down complex topics into simple, understandable concepts. Whether it's grammar, writing, or speaking practice, the lessons are always clear, engaging, and tailored to meet the needs of each student.
What stands out most about Saf is his patience and encouragement. He makes me every feel comfortable and confident, regardless of their level of proficiency. His is helping me improve not only my language skills but also my overall approach to learning.
Saf's passion for teaching and dedication to their students are truly commendable.
I highly recommend Saf to anyone looking to improve their English. He is not only a fantastic teacher but also a mentor who genuinely cares about the progress and success of their students. Thank you, Saf, for being such an exceptional teacher!

My daughter is 8 and passed PET test! It thanks to Saf. Before the time I found Saf, my daughter had the trial test but the score wasn't good which showed she couldn't pass it. Only 2 months up to the final test, I was so worried.
Fortunately Saf helped a lot by diagnosing what weakness my daughter had and explaining how to deal with it. His class is informative, professional and intriguing. My child is fond of learning from him, and enjoyed doing the practice Saf advised. On Dec, she took PET test and PASSED it!

Saf is a professional teacher who helped me achieve an overall score of 7.5 on the IELTS Academic exam. Our main focus was on writing, which was the most challenging part for me. During our lessons, he guided me in writing more clearly and structuring my text correctly.
Additionally, he recognized my difficulties with the listening section and provided me with real practice tests instead of generic advice like “listen to the radio and you’ll improve”—which didn’t work for me.
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much to Mr. Fletcher for intensively helping Nelson review grammar, comprehension, and writing before the exam. I am very grateful for the many reading comprehension and writing skills he taught him, which were extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Mr. Fletcher to everyone!
