Academic & Professional English (British English)

From 25.9 £ /h

I offer specialised English language tutoring and academic support for undergraduate, masters and PhD students writing and presenting in English. I can also support preparations for UK University applications and interviews. I also provide support for business professionals wishing to improve and gain confidence at presenting in English.

I adapt my teaching style to meet each student’s unique needs, emphasizing effective communication, confidence, and fluency over textbook-based exercises. My lessons are generally informal, focusing on conversations and discussions around specific themes. I also incorporate task-based learning projects, such as role-playing for mock presentations, interviews, and applications, to help students develop practical language skills, build confidence, and overcome blockages and barriers in communication.

Examples of classes I provide:

– Academic writing and research paper preparation at undergraduate, master's and PhD levels
– Presentation skills coaching for academic conferences and professional contexts
– Interview preparation, practice, support and coaching
– University application support, including UCAS applications for UK universities
– Specialised Oxbridge interview preparation and coaching
– Guidance for academic journal publication, including manuscript preparation and editing
– Academic skills (research writing, critical analysis, academic conventions)
– Professional writing support (reports, proposals, business communications)
– Research methodology and academic argument construction
– Personal statement and research proposal development

English is already an essential language for people who want to advance their career, whether academic or working. I teach private classes or in small groups to give my students the knowledge and, more importantly, the confidence to understand and produce the language for any need. I have experience preparing for official exams, supporting with homework and academic evaluations, and giving conversation classes to accustom the ear and gain confidence in speaking.

Do you have trouble getting good grades or understanding what your teacher is explaining to you? Do you want to learn a new language in a fun and entertaining way? My name is Sara and I'm here to make your life easier, whatever it is you need to improve.
After more than six years of teaching, I have realized that most of the time, in the traditional educational system, there are no other tools or they are not provided for those students who need other types of resources. Knowing this, my idea is to provide the student with the resources they need, in an attractive and fluid way, adapted and focused on each one.
At the beginning of the classes, we will get to know each other a little and together we will develop a work plan with the methodology, processes and lessons that best fit the objectives we set for ourselves.
Your successes are my successes, and you can count on me to accompany you throughout the entire process.
Don't think twice and let's embark on this adventure together!

My classes are aimed at students in both primary school and secondary school and high school.
The methodology would be adapted to the students' needs, and the lessons would be aimed at deepening and reinforcing what they had learned in their respective educational centers.
My goal is to adapt to each individual's goals, incorporating theoretical explanations with practical applications, and designing efficient study methods and structured plans throughout my classes.
I can prepare 17- and 18-year-olds for university entrance exams, working with various models and providing corrections and notes that will help them achieve excellence.
