Academic English
Support with your university studies and exam preparation (CAE and FCE).
Improve your academic skills.
Studying at a UK university
Whether you are an international or a home student who needs support with your studies, I can help you prepare for the academic conventions and cultural aspect of studying at a university in the UK.
Although many international students need to take the IELTS exam in order to gain entry into UK universities, this does not prepare them for the challenges of academic study. On this course you will develop all four language skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading. In particular, you will learn how to:
- research and reference
- plan and write long essays
- think and write critically
- take part in seminars
- give presentations
- listen effectively and take notes
I have worked with hundreds of students to support them and help them gain confidence in managing their university studies.
C1 Advanced and B2 First
C1 Advanced (formerly CAE) and B2 First (FCE) are popular examinations administered by the University of Cambridge. These qualifications will equip you with the language skills that employers and educational institutions are looking for. Unlike exams such as IELTS, these qualifications don’t expire, so you will have them forever.
The courses focus on the four key skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading, as well as grammar and vocabulary, and will help you develop strategies for the exam.
Because the examinations are based on realistic tasks, you will learn and develop important skills for both your personal and professional life.
