💡 To touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning English is no different. ❤ Welcome to my 1500-character teacher introduction space on italki! What follows is a little bit about me... I was born in Hong Kong to a British father, a Fijian mother, and, having spent large swathes of my life in parts of the globe as far-flung as the Middle East and South America, could be considered myself a mongrel child of the world! I have been teaching adults and children English as a Second Language (ESL), English Language, and English Literature since 2005. I had worked in-person at schools over the course of 15 years until 2020 when I started teaching English online, and have been a teacher on the italki since 2021. In terms of my teaching style, I like to build a close and comfortable rapport with my students, whilst respecting the personal boundaries that any successful relationship must enjoy. I love to dive deep on themes, topics, and the quintessential questions of life and meaning in all its forms. Learning English shouldn't simply be about language mechanics, it's a learning journey that should be an enriching educational experience. I endeavour to offer integral English lessons that address individual needs from the bottom-up, filling in any knowledge gaps along the way. I strive to inject you with confidence, positive energy, & eternal optimism. I hope to exchange wisdom, and make you feel more alive when we finish class than you did when we started. Questions? DM me! Otherwise, go ahead and book a trial lesson and we'll go from there! 🌠

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FCE certification?

The First Certificate in English (FCE) is an English language qualification provided by Cambridge Assessment English, a part of the University of Cambridge. It is designed for individuals who have achieved an upper-intermediate level of English proficiency. FCE is suitable for individuals who want to prove their ability to use English in various contexts, such as work or study. It is often taken by students and professionals. Candidates typically register for the FCE exam through authorized Cambridge Assessment English exam centers. Registration procedures may vary by location.

What are the key components of the FCE exam?

The FCE exam typically includes sections on reading, writing, listening, speaking, and the use of English. Each section assesses different language skills. The reading paper combines reading comprehension with language use. It includes different types of texts, such as multiple-choice questions, gap-fill exercises, and word formation tasks. The focus is on assessing the candidate’s ability to understand the meaning of written English and use language accurately.
The Writing paper consists of two parts. In Part 1, candidates are asked to write an essay based on a given question. Part 2 involves writing a choice of one of three tasks, such as an article, a letter, or a report. The goal is to assess the candidate’s ability to produce clear, coherent, and accurate written English. The Listening paper evaluates the candidate’s ability to understand spoken English in various contexts. It includes different types of tasks, such as multiple-choice questions, sentence completion, and note-taking. The recordings feature a range of accents and speaking styles to reflect real-world listening situations.
The Speaking test is conducted as a face-to-face interview between the candidate and an examiner. It is divided into four parts: part 1 includes the introduction and interview about familiar topics, part 2 includes a long turn where the candidate speaks on a chosen topic, part 3 involves a collaborative task including a discussion between the candidates, while part 4 involves discussion on topics related to the long turn from Part 2.
An additional writing paper assesses the candidate’s ability to write coherent and well-structured texts. It includes tasks such as writing a letter, an essay, or a report based on information provided in a set of input texts.

How long is the FCE certification valid?

FCE certification is a lifelong qualification and does not expire. Candidates are allowed to retake the FCE exam if they do not achieve a passing grade. There is no limit to the number of times the exam can be taken. The FCE exam is scored on a scale from A to C, with C being the highest level of achievement. A passing grade is typically a Grade C or higher.

How can I register for the FCE exam?

Registration for the FCE exam is typically done through authorized exam centers. Visit the official website of the examining body for detailed information on registration procedures.

How can I prepare for the FCE exam?

Preparation involves a combination of language practice, familiarization with the exam format, and improving specific skills (reading, writing, speaking, and various collaborative skills). Enrolling in a preparatory course is considered to be one of the most effective methods. Personalized FCE training will help you focus more on your weaker areas. FCE preparatory classes will keep you in the right learning direction, ensuring the desired outcome.
