FCE/CAE Specialist

Are you taking the First Certificate/Advanced/Proficiency this year?

Then you should take my classes! I offer interesting, exam focused classes with an experienced specialist.

What do you do? My classes focus on effective, focused preparation for the FCE/CAE/CPE exam. I’m experienced in getting the best out of candidates by....

eliminating students’ individual and repetive mistakes (in speaking, writing and grammar)


increasing students’ knowledge of typical exam questions AND common mistakes.


expanding students’ speaking skills by incorporation of new vocabulary and grammatical structures


providing lots of exam simulation and practice exercises


designing specific exercises to target students’ weaknesses


Designing a sudy and exercise schedule specifically for the student to maximise the chances of passing the exam.

how are the classes?

The classes focus on your specific strengths and weaknesses but the typical class focuses on exam techniques

typical questions and typical mistakes

explaining important grammar and vocabulary points

practising speaking and listening (specifically working to incorporate new learning into your speaking)

resolving doubts,

The idea is to keep the classes as interactive as possible with lots of student participation. More individual work such exam exercise practice, grammar review, learning new vocabulary and writing exercises are reserved for student homework outside of the class.

how much do classes cost?

It depends on the place and how many students. Tell me if you are interested in private or group classes.

do I need to do a test?

yes, I ask students to complete a few quick exercises to give me an overall impression of their ability. The idea is to make sure you have the foundation level required to pass the exam.

what other classes do you offer?

I also offer intensive sessions for students who dont have the time to commit to a longer course. These are full or half day events for groups or individuals. Get in touch for more information
