What I Offer
- Cambridge - FCE & CAE
- IELTS Academic
- How Long Does It Take?
- FCE (B2 First): an upper-intermediate qualification that demonstrates you can use English confidently in everyday and professional contexts.
- CAE (C1 Advanced): an advanced-level certification, widely accepted by universities and employers, showing a high level of fluency and academic readiness.
These exams are particularly useful for:
- university admission (in Romania and abroad)
- job applications requiring certified English
- long-term academic or professional mobility
The IELTS Academic exam is often required for:
- studying abroad (UK, EU, Canada, Australia)
- professional accreditation in certain fields
It tests your ability to function in an academic environment and is scored on a band scale (0–9).
This depends on your starting level, consistency, and target score. As a general framework:
- +0.5 band (IELTS) / +1 Cambridge grade → ~6–8 weeks of focused preparation
- +1 full band / level progression → ~3–4 months
- From B2 to C1 → typically 6–9 months
All programs are structured to be efficient and goal-oriented, with clear milestones and constant feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How long does it take to prepare for the CAE, FCE, or IELTS exam if I am already B2 level?
It depends on your current level, consistency, and target score.

" Since I started working with Oana, my courage to speak freely with anyone has grown exponentially. It has been five years since my first class, and I know for sure that no one else could have helped me get to where I am today. Choosing her is a decision I will never regret, she is truly the best teacher. She laughs and jokes, but most importantly, she teaches you. "
Dragoș
Student
“ Oana was my English tutor who helped me achieve my goal of obtaining my Cambridge Certificate. On the course of many years, she has helped me get through some tough patches in my personal life, becoming not only a teacher, but also a friend ”
Ștefania
Student“ Teacher Oana is an amazing English tutor and a great person to talk to. Her lessons don't feel like boring schoolwork at all, they are fun, practical and super helpful. She is very supportive, relatable and she made me feel confident since the first day I met her. I highly recommend her if you want to learn or improve your English! ”
Adina
Student“Oana is one of the best teachers I know . She was my first tutoring teacher . She always tried her best by teaching us in fun and interactive ways. For example, she used to draw Angry Birds characters on our hands when we did our exercises well. I looked up to her from a very young age like she was my big sister. I love her English classes because I can be myself there. She is open with any subject and would never judge. She created a safe space for all of us in her class. I love how she can manage to combine studying with personal life, so we don’t feel pressured.”
Maya
Student“ I have been Oana’s student for many years. What I love about her lessons is the friendly atmosphere, which makes learning an enjoyable process. Her explanations are on point and I found the exercises very useful. Thanks to her help, I aced my CAE exam and I am very confident in my speaking abilities.”
Andrei
Student“I highly recommend Oana as a private tutor for the Cambridge exam. The lessons were always very well-organized and focused on every part of the exam, including Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. What I appreciated the most was the way she explained difficult grammar topics and helped me improve my speaking confidence through regular discussions and mock speaking tests. We also practiced listening exercises with different accents and worked on reading comprehension strategies that made the exam tasks much easier to approach. Oana provided a lot of useful materials, personalized feedback, and constant encouragement, which helped me improve both my accuracy and fluency in English.So thanks to her I successfully passed the exam on the first try.”
Oana
Student“Learning English with Oana has been a really enjoyable and motivating experience. During our lessons, we work on all the important skills, including reading, speaking and writing, in a way that feels interactive and natural. The atmosphere is always relaxed and stress-free, which makes it much easier to learn and express ourselves confidently. She explains everything clearly and makes sure everyone truly understands, without ever making us feel judged. Every lesson is engaging, we discover lots of new things, and the overall vibe is always friendly and encouraging.”
Teodora
Student“Maybe one of the best choices I’ve made was choosing to work with Oana. She is a devoted teacher who helped me grow not only in terms of language skills, but also personally. Hands down one of my favorite experiences with English!”
Alex
Student“I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing teacher! I have been attending her tutoring sessions for a long time. Throughout this time, I have learned immensely and managed to truly perfect my exam responses. She is an incredibly open-minded person, someone you can talk to very easily and she always guides you whenever you need help. What makes her truly special is how much she cares about our emotional well-being; she always takes our mood into account and knows how to cheer us up so we can focus better on our exercises. She is a deeply devoted educator who constantly strives to surpass herself and acquire more knowledge, inspiring us all. I am truly sorry to think that the wonderful collaboration we had together has to end.”
Mădălina
Student”How could I accurately describe the people who inspire me? Even more, how could I ever thank them for helping me grow into the person I am today? To me, Oana is one of those people who left a lasting impact, shaped my way of thinking and encouraged me to pursue my dreams. Studying English with her was about far more than learning grammar and proper pronunciation. It was speaking exercises that evolved from shy and nervous attempts into full-length conversations about society, history and literature. It was writing prompts that transformed from rigid tasks into intricate, well-structured essays. It was discussing books and movies and gaining confidence in expressing my own views. Above all, it was her being patient and understanding; open-minded and friendly; always eager to help and ready to answer any question. To anyone who wants to learn English, whether just starting out or needing exam practice, I wholeheartedly recommend taking classes with her. Not only will you become well-prepared for Cambridge exams, but you will also grow into a more confident version of yourself, who can freely express thoughts and ideas in English in any situation.”
Iasmina
Student“Oana explains lessons clearly and makes the class engaging and easy to follow. She is patient, supportive, and always encourages students to improve their speaking and writing skills through things that we actually enjoy, movies, books, podcasts and even listening to music. I appreciate how she creates a positive learning environment and helps everyone feel more confident using English, using exercises for practicing speaking in public and encouraging ourselves to express our points of view freely in the best possible way. I really enjoyed going to english classes when I knew that she knows how to make learning english fun and enjoyable!”
Răzvan
Student“I worked with Oana for almost 3 years. During our sessions, I was able to do more than just improve my English: I learned about art, literature, and different cultures. It's difficult to put in a short paragraph the full experience of being Oana's student. As someone who enjoys writing in my free time, she was always the first person to hear my texts and also the first to ask advice from. She was my friend when I needed it and my mentor when I was grappling with a difficult situation. Her explanations were always clear and followed by exercises. After giving us something to go off of, we would have to come up with our own examples, in order for her to be sure we fully understood what we had to do. She draws the line between fun and work and knows how to regain the focus of her students. Each week I was looking forward to our next meeting, because I always left her home feeling more confident in myself. If you're looking for more than just an English class, but also an incredible insight on artists and literature, I think Oana would be the perfect fit!”
Miruna
Student“Oana is an extraordinary teacher not only because of her extraordinary tutoring qualities, but especially for her way of transforming the entire learning process into a dialogue about various topics. My favourite part of the English class with her was always when we were sharing opinions and stories, a subtle way of making us learn how to articulate words and thoughts.”
