About José
I am a UK-qualified teacher with PGCE/QTS, a Master’s degree in TESOL, nearly 20 years of international teaching experience, and extensive examination expertise.
As a former IELTS Speaking & Writing Examiner and current Oxford AQA Examiner, I bring direct insight into assessment criteria and the difference between competent performance and genuinely high-level work.
I specialize in IELTS Academic and Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency, with a particular focus on Speaking and Writing, as well as IB, IGCSE and A-Level English.
I also provide Oxbridge and UK academic preparation, helping students develop the critical thinking, academic communication, written expression and interview skills required for competitive UK universities.
My teaching is designed for ambitious students who want more than generic conversation practice or memorised exam templates. I help students develop the vocabulary, collocations, grammatical control, academic skills and examination strategies needed to communicate with greater sophistication, accuracy and confidence.
Whether your goal is IELTS Band 7–9, a high Cambridge result, stronger IB/IGCSE/A-Level performance, or preparation for Oxford, Cambridge or another competitive UK university, I build lessons around your specific target and current level.

THE LEARNING STARTS BEFORE THE LESSON
My approach is different from traditional tutoring. I don't simply meet you for an hour and work through a collection of exercises.
Before every lesson, I provide a targeted reading selected around your level, goals and the language you need to develop. From this reading, I extract high-level vocabulary and natural collocations relevant to your target — whether that means IELTS 7–9, Cambridge C1/C2 or advanced academic English.
You complete focused exercises at home to retrieve and actively use the new language. I then check your work outside the lesson, identify gaps and make sure you arrive prepared to use the language.
The live lesson is centred on the reading and target language, moving into IELTS or Cambridge Speaking and Writing tasks. Rather than simply learning sophisticated vocabulary, you practice using it naturally, accurately and appropriately.
My approach is based on evidence-informed learning principles: targeted input, retrieval, deliberate practice, feedback and repeated application.
THE LEARNING CYCLE
TARGETED READING → ADVANCED VOCABULARY & COLLOCATIONS → HOME PRACTICE → MY FEEDBACK → SPEAKING & WRITING → EXAM APPLICATION
This approach is particularly effective at higher levels, where simply learning more vocabulary is not enough. You need to be able to retrieve it quickly, combine it naturally and use it accurately under examination conditions.
For IB, IGCSE and A-Level students, the same principles are applied to academic vocabulary, analysis, argumentation, essay writing and spoken communication. For Oxbridge applicants, lessons can be adapted towards critical thinking, academic discussion, written applications and interview preparation.
Every lesson has a clear purpose and connects to your wider target.
No generic worksheets. No one-size-fits-all programmes. No reliance on memorized templates.
Just structured, personalized preparation designed to move you from where you are now to where you need to be.
Recommendations

Jose is an outstanding IB English tutor with exceptional knowledge of both the MYP and Diploma Programme. His lessons are well structured, engaging, and always tailored to the individual needs of his students. He has a remarkable ability to explain complex literary concepts, improve essay-writing skills, and build confidence for internal assessments and final examinations.
What impressed me most was his detailed feedback and practical strategies for analysing texts, developing strong arguments, and meeting the IB assessment criteria. His extensive teaching experience and examiner insight make every lesson highly valuable.
I would highly recommend Jose to any student preparing for IB English Language & Literature or English Literature. Whether your goal is to improve your grades, prepare for exams, or strengthen your academic writing, you'll be learning from a knowledgeable, patient, and highly professional teacher.My son has been learning IELTS with Jose, and his experience has been very positive. Jose is a knowledgeable and supportive teacher who explains concepts clearly and helps students improve their English skills with confidence. My son has made noticeable progress in his speaking, reading, writing, and listening abilities. We appreciate Jose’s patience, encouragement, and dedication to his students. I would highly recommend him as an IELTS teacher.
We have had an amazing experience with Jose! Teaching English through literature has completely transformed how my daughter learns. She isn’t just building her vocabulary; she is genuinely excited to read, analyze, and discuss stories. Jose is patient, encouraging, and has a wonderful way of making complex texts fun and accessible. Highly recommend!
Tuset
As a father, there is no greater joy than watching your child overcome obstacles, grow in confidence, and achieve their dreams. Today, I am writing this review with an immense sense of pride in my son, and a deep, heartfelt gratitude to the man who made it all possible: Teacher Jose Tuset.
When my son first decided to take the IELTS exam, the road ahead looked daunting. He had the ambition, but he lacked the structure, the strategy, and honestly, the self-belief. That all changed the moment he started his lessons with Jose.
Jose is not just an IELTS tutor; he is a mentor in the truest sense of the word. From day one, he didn't just teach from a textbook. He took the time to truly understand my son—his strengths, his weaknesses, and his unique way of learning. He tailored every lesson with immense patience, intellect, and a genuine care that is incredibly rare to find.
What touched me the most as a father was watching my son’s transformation outside of the classroom. Under Jose’s guidance, I saw my son transform from a nervous student into a confident communicator. Every time a practice test got tough, Jose was there to lift him up, push him to his full potential, and remind him of what he was capable of. Jose didn’t just prepare him for an exam; he gave him skills and confidence that will last a lifetime.
Thanks to Jose’s brilliant guidance and unwavering support, my son achieved an incredible IELTS score that has now opened doors to his future. Seeing the smile on my son's face when he got his results is a moment I will cherish forever as a parent.
To anyone looking for an IELTS tutor who will invest their whole heart into your child's success, look no further than Jose Tuset.
Thank you, Jose. You have not only been a phenomenal teacher to my son, but a true blessing to our family. We are forever grateful.I am a student of Tuset, and I would like to introduce this teacher of mine. I studied Tuset for a few months, and for me, he was always very patient, teaching me step by step, and always encouraged me to use English more in my daily life. I feel that a teacher like him would be perfect for those who don't know where to start learning because Tuset will base his lesson plan on your own abilities. He kept the class as interesting and understandable as possible by practicing many questions in class and giving many questions to practice. I think this teacher will make your English learning process not boring and leave you with a lot of useful knowledge.
Jose is an amazing teacher who played a huge role in helping me ace my IB oral and extended essay. His feedback was always clear, detailed, and genuinely helpful, and they really pushed me to think critically and improve my writing. Super supportive, patient, and dedicated—I highly recommend him. He used toddle AI in his classes to target my weaknesses. Can't recommend enough
I had a great experience learning with Jose, my IELTS tutor. He is knowledgeable, patient, and very supportive. What really stood out was his AI-based program, which gave me instant feedback and helped me improve quickly.
He tailored lessons to my needs and provided clear, practical guidance, especially for writing and speaking. Thanks to his support, I made strong progress and feel much more confident about the IELTS exam. I highly recommend him to anyone aiming for a high band score.I know Mr. Tuset as my teacher, and I have learned a lot from his classes. I really appreciate his teaching methods because he explains things clearly and uses simple examples, so it is easy to understand. He is also very patient and always helps when students have questions. One experience I remember is when he guided me step by step on a difficult topic until I fully understood it. I highly recommend Mr. Tuset to future students because he is supportive, clear, and makes learning easier.
I recommend Tuset because before I started classes with him, I only knew the basics in English: saying hello, goodbye, and little more. With his way of teaching, I learned very quickly and I was able to prepare for the Cambridge exams, where I achieved the B1 level.
His way of explaining is very easy to understand, and he makes you feel confident to speak without fear. Thanks to that, I was able to express myself more freely and improve a lot in a short time.
He also uses artificial intelligence tools in his classes, which makes the lessons even more helpful and interesting.
I recommend him because he makes learning English easier and motivates you to keep improving.I was Jose’s direct manager at Mas Camarena IB World School in Valencia. I highly recommend Jose to anyone looking to learn English or Spanish. He is a highly qualified and extremely talented teacher whose lessons are well-structured, clear, and very effective in improving students’ language skills. During his time at Mas Camarena, he also taught IBMYP English and Spanish and received very positive feedback from both colleagues and parents.
