About Graham
I have a passion for teaching and for improving the lives and prospects of my students. English language exams are challenging and stressful, as are entrance requirements for university study. As a former lecturer of English at Osaka University in Japan and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics in China, and a Foundation tutor for post-graduate students at the University of Canberra in Australia, I am also a former IELTS examiner for Speaking and Writing with the British Council. This means that I am able to help students with a broader understanding of both IELTS (Academic) and English for Academic Purposes, along with what is required in University Entrance Interviews. I have a MA degree in English, including courses in Language Testing and a TEFL (150 hours) certificate. I have been teaching English for over 20 years.

With experience as a former IELTS examiner for Speaking and Writing and years tutoring students for the IELTS exam, I offer a learning approach that covers strategies for successfully doing the test and achieving the required band score for both IELTS (Academic) and IELTS (General Training). In the lessons you will focus on areas where you need to specifically improve your band score. There will be frequent practice tests, with the speaking component done online.
As a former university lecturer in South Africa, China and Japan, and a post-graduate foundation studies tutor in Australia, you will work through lessons to prepare you for university study. These include preparation for subject-related university entrance interviews.
For Cambridge exams, I work with students preparing for First Certificate English (FCE) and Certificate Advanced English (CAE). In these lessons, you will do a number of practice tests, with the speaking component done online.
Recommendations

I have known Graham for almost ten years - since 2016, and have taken English lessons with him on several occasions - to improve or to refresh my language skills.
He prepared me for both IELTS exam in 2017 and for raising my English to business level in 2020, that ultimately granted me a job in an international company where English is the main and every day language.
I guarantee therefore a superior level of knowledge and professionality of this teacher.Teacher Graham is an exceptionally experienced and dedicated educator. With his guidance, my oral English has shown remarkable improvement. His insightful advice on expanding my knowledge base and refining my learning methods has been truly meaningful and impactful for my English studies.
With many years English teaching experience in multiple countries such as New Zealand, Australia, China, Vietnam and Japan. He is culturally adaptable to the needs of students. Also a published author his English is impeccable.
I am pleased to offer my strongest recommendation for Graham Pope, who was my first English teacher around 2005 and had a profound impact on my academic and professional development. When I began studying with Graham, my level of English was close to zero. Through his structured, motivating, and highly effective teaching approach, I was able, within just six months, to progress to an advanced level of English communication across all four core skills: speaking, writing, listening, and reading.
Graham specialized in English for Academic Purposes and IELTS (Cambridge) preparation, and his guidance enabled me to successfully pass the Cambridge IELTS examination on two separate occasions for different professional and academic goals. His ability to identify a learner’s weaknesses and transform them into strengths is truly exceptional.
With extensive experience as a native English speaker from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), Graham brings deep linguistic expertise and cultural insight to his teaching. He has taught English as a second language in China for several years, preparing students for a wide range of objectives, including academic study, business communication, and everyday professional use. His flexible teaching style, offering both in-person and online (hybrid) instruction allows him to adapt effectively to diverse learners and learning environments.
Graham Pope is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring educator whose results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality English language instruction, whether for academic advancement, professional development, or personal growth.Graham comes highly recommended! He has an awesome work ethic and is Student-Centric. He has decades of experience working within the field of education.He has international experience working with Second additional language students and Moderating the assessments.
