Looking for help with writing or IELTS? Want someone to check your email, essay, resume or letter? Or do you want someone to write one for you? If your answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then please book a service or send me a message to discuss what you want help with. I am Sam and I am offering writing services, including proofreading and IELTS writing correction. My proofreading and correction work is very detailed and tailored for each student. I have a lot of experience in writing, including emails, essays, short stories and poetry. I am a published author of an IELTS essay and vocabulary eBook, and I am well trained and experienced in grading IELTS papers and giving feedback.

My lessons & teaching style

My teaching style is relaxed yet structured. For me, the best teacher is one who gives useful feedback, never gets angry with his students, and encourages them to take risks, keep practicing and make mistakes. This is what I aim for as well as making our lessons fun and productive and something for both of us to look forward to. Regarding my proofreading and writing work, I aim to give detailed and useful feedback, both on the writing itself and the language used. I analyse each paragraph of a piece of writing in terms of its purpose in the text, its organisation, vocabulary and grammar. I give comments within each paragraph, as well as comments for the overall text at the end.

Teacher’s pick

I purchased his e-books and was amazed how well-organized and useful they were. If you don't have enough time to take classes or not ready to commit yourself but just want to dabble in and see what the IELTS writing is like, I highly recommed you to buy his books. If you're stuck at a certain score, this book would also help you see which point you're missing to get your aimed score.

Sam is one of the most patient, supportive and professional teachers I've ever met on italki. From only one correction, I've learned so much from him. I highly recommend everyone to book his service if you want your essay to be perfect!
