About Me

I have been living in Asia for the last 6 years but recently have relocated back to the UK. I love talking about the different places I have visited and the contrasts found between different cultures. I hope that we can exchange ideas about travelling, food and culture and get inspired.
Me as a Teacher

My lessons & teaching style
I am experienced in teaching the IELTS exam and would love to help you prepare well for this exam using idioms, natural speech, conjunctions etc. The IELTS exam is not just being able to speak English, the exam is looking for a particular criteria which needs to be met in order to get that all important high score.

This is a story of a girl who achieved 6,5 in speaking. BI met Lesley 2 weeks before my IELTS exam. It was a short time period but she understood my panic and created time for me then my goal becomes Lesley's goal too. We had a well organised and an intensive Speaking lessons. While she was teaching me the structure and the strategy, she built confidence in me. That's the main reason I entered the exam room with loads of moral and courage. If you really focus on what Lesley teaches you, you will reach your target soon. I did it in 2 weeks. She is an expert and like a real examiner. In the beginning, I didn't believe in myself. I had so many hesitations and pauses but after practising with Lesley, I became more fluent. I also went over the notes after the lessons. My last word for the students who are in the journey of learning English or an Exam: Success entails hardworking. And a compliment in Turkish; Lesley hayatımda gördüğüm en tatlı öğretmen :)

Thank you always for my lovely teacher Lesley! With her help, all questions in part 2 have become so easy to organise. At the same time, I always learn from her a wide range of score 7 and high level C words! And all my lessons are designed to me. 👍👍

My lovely teacher Lesley can not only teach me an array of words which are on the 7+ level, She also help to save my preparation time because she can teach me high level of answers which I am not able to write by myself.
