Exam English


About Exam English

As a highly experienced English exam teacher, I have helped many students to pass their English exams with professionally organised, intensive exam preparation courses.

The exams I teach online are First Certificate, Cambridge Advanced, Cambridge Proficiency and IELTS.

How it works

First, we will discuss your learning objectives for the exam you are taking. I will then make a learning plan with you to focus on the sections of the exam that you need most help with. If you only need practice with one section of the test like the speaking section then we can focus on that. If you need help with the grammar (Use of English) section of your test, then that will be what we focus on.

After each class, you will get assignments to complete before the next lesson. This could be a writing task or other exam practice materials. We will then check all your work in the next lesson.

Advantages of online exam preparation

  • You study with a highly experienced teacher who really knows your exam
  • You get more individual time and attention from your teacher
  • You focus only on those parts of the test that you need to work on
  • You can get answers to all your questions about the English you need
  • You learn more quickly and effectively than studying alone or in a group in the classroom


Do online exam preparation classes work?


Read the following testimonials from my students to hear how online exam preparation lessons worked for them. I hope you can see that their online lessons were highly effective in helping them achieve the results they wanted.

"To be able to fully satisfy the entry requirements of the British University I had to pass the IELTS exam with no less then 6.0 overall. When I started taking lessons with Jonathan my score was 5.5. The lessons were very logical and structured, interesting and entertaining. After a very short period of time I passed the exam with confidence. I got a 6.5 (L7.0, R7.0, W6.0, S6.0). I definitely will continue to study English with Jonathan and try to take FCE, CAE and maybe CPE in future. I really appreciate Jonathan for his help, he's a very professional English teacher!"

"My name is Manhal and I am from Syria. My plan was to emigrate to Canada but for a long time I was afraid about getting the score I needed on IELTS (6.5). But after my lessons with Jonathan I've now got a 6.5 (Writing 7, Speaking 7, Listening 7, Writing 5.5) and now I am completing my documents for emigration. Really  I appreciate Mr Jonathan for teaching me and for all his hard efforts."

"Having decided to take a CPE exam, I was particularly worried about the speaking test. What I needed was an opportunity to regularly practice speaking and, even more, I needed confidence. Jonathan did a great job in providing me with both. The lessons were varied and challenging and would always help me push beyond my limits. Jonathan's feedback was useful, punctual but never encumbering. Above all, he helped me boost my confidence with his encouragement and with his practical suggestions on how to approach the exam. After our lessons, the actual speaking test was easy as pie. I passed the exam at grade A, and it's not a coincidence that Speaking was recognized as my strongest point."

Student: Miguel | Country: Spain | Exam: IELTS | Result: 7.5

stacks_image_BE722E61-2DDE-4640-A870-BDDEDA609C04

"I started studying English in Jan 2005 in the UK. My level then was not so good; I was in the beginner class and it was very hard to do things in Britain like get a job. I had private online lessons for the IELTS exam because I needed to go to university in the UK in Sheffield. After six months of lessons with Jonathan I passed my IELTS exam with 7,8,7 and 7 - which was more than I needed. For me, this was incredible because my English was poor in January."

Student: Daisuke | Country: Japan | Exam: IELTS | Result: 7.5

stacks_image_7133E70A-AF62-4BCF-909D-E6617712FA41

"In spite of taking the IELTS test more than 10 times, I was not able to get 7.0 in writing because before I had an English teacher who was not an expert in the test. However, my writing skill has miraculously improved through lessons with Jonathan, even though it was a relatively short time. My latest score is: Listening 7.0 Reading 8.0 Writing 7.0 Speaking 8.0 overall 7.5. This result is more than I expected and good enough to apply for my university course in the UK. If you are struggling with IELTS, I strongly recommend you to study with Jonathan. His flexible teaching methods and passion will definitely make you reach your desired result."

"Hello, I am Caroline from Martinique. When I began learning English it was mainly in order to get the TOEIC test. These lessons were very useful for my English because thanks to these I got 925 in the TOEIC, a very high score. The lessons were funny and useful and Jonathan was patient and friendly."

"I have been preparing for my CAE exam with Jonathan for some months and I really must say that the course was extremely useful. The lessons were not only interesting but also challenging. Jonathan was always perfectly prepared and had a lot of good material in stock. He always had a good explanation for all of my questions and I really learned a lot. I left the examination room with a good feeling. Thank you very much, Jonathan!"

"Jonathan helped me to get a fantastic result in the IELTS test which was much better than I could have hoped for - it was a bit unexpected for me to be honest. His lessons were always thorough and very professionally organised. It wasn't easy to pass the test but Jonathan helped me feel much more ready for it when the time came. I can recommend his lessons to anyone who wants to take the IELTS test with online tuition."
