Hi, I’m Jakub ✌️

I’m a UK-based English teacher currently working in Vietnam, specialising in academic English and IELTS preparation. I work with students preparing for IELTS and other English exams, helping them improve clarity, structure and confidence in their writing and speaking.

I was born in Poland and moved to the UK at the age of five, learning English from scratch. Although I now speak English as a native speaker, I still remember the challenges of acquiring a new language — from grammar confusion to pronunciation frustration. Later, I also became fluent in Spanish through formal study and immersion. Learning multiple languages has given me a deep understanding of the difficulties students face and shapes my structured, patient approach to teaching.

I studied Law and Spanish at a top 50 global university, where I developed strong analytical writing and argumentation skills. Before teaching, I worked as a paralegal at an international law firm in the UK and will soon begin working as a trainee solicitor at a leading ‘Magic Circle’ law firm in London. My academic and legal background has reinforced the importance of precision, logical structure and clear communication — skills that are essential for achieving higher IELTS band scores.

Prior to teaching, I also tutored secondary school students in the UK preparing for GCSE English Language and Literature, helping them reach their target grades and build long-term confidence in their writing.
