We'll Zoom for a quick chat, and make a lesson plan.
I can normally schedule your lessons to start within a few days.
16 Lessons USD $1,040
In this package, we can focus on all 4 exam sections.
We can cover speaking and writing in depth, and with lots of time for practice and reinforcement.
If you have a low reading score and need help with question answering strategies, we can work on those.
We can reduce your fossilized errors and increase your accuracy in language use.
I will create a personalized lesson plan for your specific needs.
I recommend that you consider 8 lessons as a minimum.
Improving your fluency in a language is NOT the same as learning facts.
In order to get better at a language, you need to build skills.
Your new language skills will only become natural and spontaneous after several weeks of constant studying.
For this reason, my shortest lesson package is 8 lessons. This gives us approximately 1 month to work together.
8 Lessons USD $520
This lesson package is for confident students who want to focus on either speaking OR writing, and who don't need a big score increase.
Or we can specialize in delivery and pronunciation if you need help in those areas.
I will create a personalized lesson plan for your specific needs.
12 Lessons USD $780
If you're familiar with the exam, we can look at 1 or 2 sections for review, reinforcement and practice.
Or we can target 1 section if you need personalized, focused help to boost your score.
Or, if you've taken the exam before, we can focus on exam style practice and timing for 2 or 3 sections.
We can reduce your fossilized errors and increase your accuracy in language use.
I will create a personalized lesson plan for your specific needs.
I know it can be scary when you look at the cost of something and see that it comes to a few hundred dollars.
For this reason, I offer everyone the option to pay for lessons in instalments.
I don't charge extra for this service (unlike big language schools who often add on 'admin' fees for this option).
If you:
need a big increase in scores
have gaps in your language proficiency
need to work on pronunciation and delivery
have fossilized errors to correct
have anxiety, memory, or recall problems
cannot study regularly or consistently
then you should consider a longer lesson package.
Lesson packages of different lengths are available and they can easily be extended if you require more lessons.
The lesson price includes your lesson time and the additional 2 - 3 hours that I spend each week, preparing for your lesson, reviewing your homework, providing feedback and sourcing any extra resources that you might need.

You'll see my personal logos on all Birkenhead English resources. I've created speaking and writing structures, reading, listening, grammar, and vocabulary exercises, and I know hundreds of different ways to practice to help you increase your fluency.
My name Birkenhead comes from an old English word meaning birch trees. My logos depict 2 birch leaves to reflect this meaning. I like the connection they form between trees and growth, and studying and growth.
These logos were designed especially for me. So when you see these little leaves on any study materials, you'll know they come from me, and that they can be trusted.
