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.
