For over two decades, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in top-tier institutions, giving me a deep understanding of what global academic excellence requires:

1. The UK Pre-Sessional Advantage: I taught pre-sessional courses for 5 consecutive years at the University of Glasgow. This direct, recent experience means I know exactly the academic demands, expectations, and specific language skills UK university tutors look for from students entering Master’s programs.
2. 17 Years as a British Council Examiner: I served for 17 consecutive years as an official FCE and CAE Speaking Examiner and an exam courses teacher for the British Council. I know the marking criteria, common pitfalls, and strategies to maximise your score. I have also supervised a wide range of exams, including IELTS, KET, PET, FCE, CAE, BEC, TKT, NEBOSH, and BMAT, confirming my familiarity with global testing environments.
3. 10 Years in Top-Ranked HE: I spent ten years preparing future teachers and psychologists at the University of Gdańsk, Poland. At the same time I taught at the SWPS University of Social Sciences & Humanities, an institution globally recognised in the Shanghai, Times Higher Education, and QS World University Rankings.
4. 10 Years of Advanced Language: I also spent ten years at the prestigious Polish Naval Academy, honing my ability to teach specialised, high-stakes language skills.
5. The UK Classroom Advantage: For the past three years, I’ve been teaching English to Students of Other Languages right here in the UK at St Helens College, which means my knowledge of modern UK classroom standards is current and practical.

I know exactly what university tutors are looking for, and I understand the specific challenges you face when moving from your home country to a UK campus.
