Transform your English. Transform your CELPIP score.
This isn’t just a session by session approach. It’s structured, personalized support designed to help you reach the score you need. My work blends CELPIP strategy with performance skills, mindset support, and detailed feedback so you can finally break through the plateau and reach the score you need.

Why this CELPIP coaching is different
Most prep focuses on tricks, templates, and endless practice tests. That is not what I do. CELPIP is communication under pressure. You need a guide who can help you think clearly, express ideas specifically, and perform with confidence on test day.
My work focuses on:
- Turning vague ideas into clear, specific answers that score higher
- Building natural English rhythm, not robotic or memorized language
- Expanding your vocabulary so you can express yourself with precision
- Strengthening grammar without drowning you in rules and charts
- Coaching you through test anxiety and performance blocks
- Giving you direct, honest feedback instead of generic comments
What you can expect working with me
I work closely with each student. This is not a quick chat once a week. It is a structured, supportive partnership designed to move you forward.
Deeply personalized support
I study your speaking and writing, notice your patterns, and design tasks that target your real gaps. You will know exactly what to focus on each week instead of guessing.
Full writing evaluations
You receive detailed feedback on content, coherence, grammar, vocabulary, and tone. I show you what a higher level answer looks like and how to get there step by step.
Speaking transformation
We work on fluency, pronunciation clarity, vocabulary range, and natural phrasing. I coach you to sound like a clear, confident communicator, not someone reading a script.
Support between sessions
Have a question about phrasing, a writing task, or an idea you are stuck on. You can reach me between sessions by message so you do not lose momentum.
Structured, honest guidance
I will be kind and direct with you. If something is holding you back, I will tell you, and we will work on it together. You will not be left wondering where you stand.
A coach, not just a tutor
My background in business and theatre means I understand performance under pressure. We work on mindset, regulation, and presence so you can think clearly on test day.

Is this the right fit for you
You do not need perfect English to benefit from this work. You need willingness, effort, and a real desire to grow.
You are a great fit if you
- Have taken CELPIP before and feel stuck at the same level
- Are aiming for 9 or 10 and want direct, honest feedback
- Are willing to practice and complete tasks between sessions
- Want to sound more natural and confident, not just correct
- Value a coach who notices details and tells you the truth kindly
- Understand that you are investing in a transformation, not a quick fix
This is probably not for you if you
- Just want cheap hourly tutoring with no homework or feedback
- Are not ready to change how you think, write, and speak
- Expect results without effort between sessions
- Only want last minute help a few days before your exam
How to get started
The first step is a short strategy session so we can make sure this is the right fit and choose the best program for your timeline and goals.
- Book your free strategy call. We will review your current scores, challenges, and deadlines and talk through what is realistic.
- Choose your program. Together we will decide whether the Accelerator, 10 session program, or VIP intensive matches your needs.
- Start with clarity. You will receive your first tasks and we begin coaching with a clear plan and shared expectations.
Strategy sessions are usually 20 to 30 minutes on Zoom. You can bring past score reports or sample writing if you have them.

What my CELPIP students say
Real stories from learners who committed to the process, embraced the coaching, and achieved the scores and confidence they needed.
“Andrea is honestly the best CELPIP teacher I’ve ever met. She helped me improve from CLB 8 to CLB 10, and her teaching style is both practical and effective. She never makes you memorize blindly. Instead, she helps you improve from the root. In writing, she noticed my ideas were too general and asked me to step into a character, like pretending I was a mom of a 3 year old. Suddenly, I had so many specific details and vocabulary to use. Everything she teaches is customized. She adjusts her methods based on each student’s needs. I also put a lot of pressure on myself, and she helped me see that anxiety just means I care and that it can actually help me. Her homework is always the right level, her feedback is clear, and I’ve become so much more confident because of her.”

Score breakthrough“Andrea is a very responsible and dedicated teacher. She created a detailed CELPIP study plan for me based on my exam date, and her support with speaking and writing helped me tremendously. She showed me how to expand my ideas and use idiomatic expressions naturally. Every class is well prepared, engaging, and enjoyable. I genuinely look forward to every lesson with her. If you want to improve your English or prepare for CELPIP, you should definitely try her classes. You won’t regret it.”
