What I Help With

PTE Academic — focused coaching that works

I focus on PTE Academic, and I lead with the area where most people quietly lose points: Writing. Speaking practice is there too. Every session starts from your weaknesses rather than a fixed syllabus.

Test covered: PTE Academic (including PTE Academic UKVI). Tell me which one when you get in touch.

✍️

Writing Correction

Send me your PTE writing: the 20-minute essay and Summarize Written Text. You get line-by-line corrections, a score estimate against each trait, and rewritten versions of the parts that are holding you back.

🎙️

Speaking Practice

Live mock practice for PTE speaking: Read Aloud, Repeat Sentence, Describe Image and Retell Lecture. I listen for fluency, pronunciation and content, then send you home with drills aimed at whatever is pulling your score down.

📋 Before we start: know your baseline

I do my best work with students who already know roughly where they stand. Ideally you have sat the official PTE Academic exam, or at least completed a full scored practice test, before we begin.

Not there yet? Take an official PTE practice test first, then send me a writing response from it. I will tell you where you are and what to fix.

FAQ

Questions, answered

I coach PTE Academic, including PTE Academic UKVI, with the focus on the Writing and Speaking tasks. Just let me know which one you're preparing for and your target score when you get in touch.
Ideally, yes. I get the best results with students who have already sat the real PTE Academic, or completed a full scored practice test, because it gives us an honest starting point to build from. If you haven't yet, see my Resources page for official PTE practice, then send me a writing response from one.
Send me one writing response from your real exam or a practice test. I mark it against the PTE scoring traits and reply with an estimated score, the specific things costing you points, and what to work on next. There's no charge for this.
I've been teaching English since 2004 and helping students prepare for PTE since 2010. I'm a qualified teacher (UK QTS, Ontario OCT, a TESOL Diploma, plus an Ontario Adult Education certificate), so my feedback is grounded in how people actually learn.
Single essays are returned within 48 hours, and pack/priority orders within 24 hours. Speaking sessions are booked at a time that suits your schedule and time zone.
You can book and pay securely in one step through my Setmore scheduling page, or use the "Pay with PayPal" button on the package you want. Prefer to ask questions first? Use the "Ask First" button or email me directly.
No. Anyone who guarantees a score is not being straight with you, because your result depends on your starting level and the work you put in. What I can promise is honest feedback and a plan that fits your situation. The students who do the work tend to get there.
