C1 English tutors

The tutors on this page teach English at C1, the advanced level of the Common European Framework of Reference. Each of them lists C1 among the levels they teach. It is the level universities and employers usually mean when they ask for English that works without support, tested by Cambridge C1 Advanced, the old CAE, and an IELTS band of around 7 is commonly read as its equivalent. Lessons start at €9.12 an hour, and most tutors charge €13 to €17. At C1 you follow lectures, long reports and fast conversation, catch what is implied as well as what is said, and write structured texts on complex subjects. Most learners at this stage are already understood perfectly well, so a good C1 English teacher works on control: register, an email that is correct but too blunt, an essay with the right points in the wrong order. Every profile shows the tutor's background, price and free slots, so you can compare C1 English teachers before you book. Bring a report, an essay or a recording of yourself presenting to the first lesson, and ask the tutor to mark it the way an examiner would.
