◇──◆──◇──◆──◇──◆──◇ THE STRATEGIC ENGLISH COACH 4+ Years Experience ⇿ Polyglot (5 Languages) ⇿ Political Science Graduate ◇──◆──◇──◆──◇──◆──◇ I've taught 47 IELTS students. 43 hit their target band. I don't do generic lessons. I don't recycle the same materials for every student. I reverse-engineer what's stopping you from breaking through, then I build a roadmap that gets you there faster than you think possible. If you're serious about results, keep reading. ① IELTS MASTERY PROGRAM Structured. Surgical. Score-Focused. This isn't "let's practice together and hope for the best." Every skill is broken down into repeatable strategies. Every session has a singular goal. You know exactly what you're fixing and why. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ READING ➠ The Sniper Method (4 sessions) ✦ Session 1: Skimming vs Scanning Logic Stop reading every word. Learn to locate keywords, verify answers, and move on in under 60 seconds per question. ✦ Session 2: True/False/Not Given Mastery The difference between "False" and "Not Given" is mathematical. I'll show you the formula examiners use. ✦ Session 3: Matching & Sentence Completion Traps Distractor words exist to trick you. Learn to spot paraphrasing patterns and eliminate wrong answers before reading the text. ✦ Session 4: Timing Drills Under Pressure Full mock reading test with real-time feedback on where you lost time and why. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ LISTENING ➠ Active Anticipation (4 sessions) ✦ Session 1: Signposting & Turn Words Train your ear to catch however, although, on the other hand. These words signal the answer is about to shift. ✦ Session 2: The Correction Trap "I thought it was Tuesday, but actually it's Wednesday." Examiners plant false answers in the audio. I'll teach you to ignore them. ✦ Session 3: Prediction & Word Class Recognition Guess the answer type before the audio starts. Noun? Verb? Number? This cuts your cognitive load in half. ✦ Session 4: Full Mock Test with Live Error Analysis We listen together. I pause where you missed the answer and show you exactly what you didn't hear. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ WRITING ➠ The Examiner's Rubric (6 sessions) ✦ Session 1: Task Response Breakdown What the question is actually asking vs what you think it's asking. Most students lose points here without knowing it. ✦ Session 2: Coherence & Cohesion Architecture Linking words don't make you coherent. Logical flow does. I'll teach you the invisible structure Band 8+ essays follow. ✦ Session 3: Lexical Resource (The Right Words, Not Big Words) Replace "good," "bad," "important" with collocations examiners expect: considerable impact, adverse effects, pivotal role. ✦ Session 4: Grammatical Range Without Errors Complex sentences impress examiners only if they're error-free. I'll show you 5 structures you can use reliably under pressure. ✦ Session 5: Task 1 Data Analysis (Academic) or Letter Tone (General) Academic: How to describe trends without repeating "increase/decrease." General: How to calibrate tone between formal complaint and friendly request. ✦ Session 6: Live Writing Session with Instant Feedback You write. I watch. I correct in real time so you see exactly where your logic breaks down. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ SPEAKING ➠ Fluency Under Interrogation (5 sessions) ✦ Session 1: Part 1 Expansion Technique "Do you like reading?" isn't a yes/no question. Learn the 3-sentence formula that keeps you talking naturally. ✦ Session 2: Part 2 Story Structure You have 1 minute to prepare. I'll give you a template that works for any cue card without memorization. ✦ Session 3: Part 3 Abstract Reasoning This is where most students collapse. "Why do people enjoy taking risks?" I'll teach you how to build logical, nuanced answers on the spot. ✦ Session 4: Pronunciation & Intonation Fixes Word stress and sentence rhythm matter more than accent. I'll isolate the 3 patterns holding you back. ✦ Session 5: Full Mock Interview with Band Score Breakdown I play the examiner. You perform. I score you across all four criteria and tell you exactly what to fix before test day. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ PACKAGES AVAILABLE ➥ Band 5.5 → 6.5 (16 sessions) ➠ Focus: Grammar accuracy, basic task response, eliminating fossilized errors ➥ Band 6.5 → 7.5 (20 sessions) ➠ Focus: Coherence, lexical upgrading, complex sentence reliability ➥ Band 7.5 → 8.5 (24 sessions) ➠ Focus: Nuance, rhetorical sophistication, examiner-level precision PROVEN RESULTS ✦ Yuki (Japan): 6.0 → 8.0 Writing in 10 weeks ✦ Marco (Italy): 6.5 → 7.5 Overall in 8 weeks ✦ Amira (Egypt): 5.5 → 7.0 Speaking in 6 weeks ✦ Chen (China): 7.0 → 8.5 Reading in 4 weeks ② LEGAL & TECHNICAL ENGLISH For Professionals Who Can't Afford Ambiguity If you work in law, contracts, compliance, or technical documentation, vague English costs you credibility. Sometimes it costs you money. I teach precision under pressure. LEGAL ENGLISH (12 sessions) ✦ Contract Language Mastery Turn "The company should think about doing X" into "The parties hereby agree to execute X within 30 days of execution." ✦ Case Briefing & Legal Reasoning How to summarize judgments, statutes, and arguments without losing the logical thread. ✦ Negotiation Language "We'd prefer..." vs "Our position is non-negotiable."

This is not "How was your weekend?" We discuss ideas that don't have right answers. I challenge your reasoning. You defend your position. We refine your ability to think, argue, and articulate complexity in real time. Why This Beats ChatGPT ChatGPT won't interrupt you when your logic falls apart. ChatGPT won't push back when you contradict yourself. ChatGPT won't teach you how to argue like someone who's studied rhetoric and political philosophy. I will. ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ METHOD: Socratic Dialogue + Devil's Advocate Debate Before each session, you read or watch something substantive. A policy paper. A documentary clip. An essay from The Economist or Foreign Affairs. In class: ➳ I ask you to defend a position ➳ I argue the opposite ➳ I force you to justify every claim ➳ I correct your logic, your word choice, your rhetorical structure in real time SAMPLE TOPICS ➸ Geopolitics: Why is the EU AI Act more significant than most people realize? Should digital sovereignty be treated as national security? ➸ Ethics & Technology: Is algorithmic transparency a right or a luxury? What happens when efficiency conflicts with fairness? ➸ Cultural Psychology: Why do some societies value collective harmony over individual truth-telling? How does this shape negotiation styles? ➸ Legal Philosophy: When should we prioritize procedural justice over substantive justice? What are the risks of each? WHO THIS IS FOR Academics preparing for PhD defenses or conference presentations Executives who need to hold their own in high-stakes meetings Expats navigating culturally complex professional environments DELIVERABLES After every 4 sessions, I'll send you a summary of recurring linguistic patterns I've noticed, overused hedging language, unclear pronoun references, and logical leaps, with specific fixes. ┌──═━┈━═──┐ THE TRIAL LESSON This is not a "get to know you" chat. In 25 minutes, I'll show you the one linguistic blind spot that's holding you back right now. Grammar? Probably not. Structure? Maybe. Confidence in abstract reasoning? Almost certainly. You'll leave knowing exactly what to fix and how. └──═━┈━═──┘ How We Work Together ➨ Cancellations: 24 hours notice required ➨ Preparation: Some sessions require pre-reading. I'll send materials 48 hours in advance. ➨ Engagement: I don't lecture. You talk, I intervene. Passive listening wastes both our time. ◇──◆──◇──◆──◇──◆──◇ I only take 12 students per month. If you're ready, let's start.
