Top quality English language private tutorials 1-on-1 in-person or by web-conference with an experienced and professional IELTS teacher in Hong Kong. My name is Grant Richardson. I am an Australian native English teacher with:
A master’s degree in Applied Linguistics (specialising in Teaching English for Specific Purposes) from Macquarie University and a TESOL certification from Cambridge University. Ten years' experience as a professional English language teacher to local Hong Kong and foreign adults, including over four years providing tailored intensive IELTS preparation courses. LESSONS
Students are guided on how to systematically answer every type of question asked for both writing and speaking exams. Students take practice exams in all four skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading), working together with or separately from the teacher, or for homework, and receive constructive feedback on them. IELTS materials are selected from high quality sources, including published course books, instructional videos, and a very large collection of IELTS practice exams with model answers. AVAILABLE TIMES
I work during normal business hours (Monday to Friday) as an IELTS and English language instructor at a private language college for adults on Hong Kong Island. I am available for private lessons outside these hours (weekends and weekday evenings). TEACHING VENUES
