This episode's guest is Ricardo Fajardo, who joins me for a discussion on teaching English for a very specific purpose – exam preparation.

Ricardo has been a teacher of English for 24 years and a teacher trainer for the last 12 years. He is currently a CELTA tutor and assessor, which has given him the chance to travel and learn from different practices at other training centers. He is also an ICELT and DELTA tutor and works as a freelancer on different projects such as coursebook writing and online consulting. 

As an accredited IELTS examiner as well as a Cambridge KET, PET, FCE, CAE, and CPE oral examiner, Ricardo has a wealth of experience with proficiency exams and can share exactly what students need to know in order to succeed on them. In our conversation today, we’re discussing tips for teaching exam preparation classes, and how we might transfer or adapt these strategies to best work for online lessons.
