10 live sessions · 3 weeks · Starts June 23
You've taken the test. Your English is fine — you can feel it. But the score won't move, and your deadline doesn't care. I'm a certified examiner. Let me show you what's actually happening.
Enea came to me stuck at an official 90. He needed a higher score for his Master's program in San Diego, and the deadline was weeks away.
His English wasn't the problem. His score was.
We did 10 lessons together. On June 1st, he certified at 105 — B1 to B2. His Speaking went from 80 to 100. Twenty points, in the skill most students fear most.

He didn't become a different English speaker in those lessons. He learned how the test is actually scored — and how American English structures meaning. That's what moved the number.
After scoring students as an examiner and coaching dozens through the DET, I see the same four blocks over and over. None of them are fixed by more grammar apps.
The DET rewards verbs that carry cause and effect. Most students answer with nouns and "is/have" — and lose points they don't know they're losing.
English is linear: topic, context, example — one chunk at a time. Most languages add context everywhere. Sound structure is worth more points than fancy vocabulary.
Flat yes/no statements read as lower-level English. Knowing when to say "possibly," "may," or "which suggests" reads as B2–C1.
You know the answer. You can't produce it in 60 seconds. That's not an English problem — it's a trainable mechanical skill.
All four are test mechanics, not language ability. That's why they're fixable fast.
10 live sessions over 3 weeks. Small group. Personal feedback between every session.
Session 1
We find YOUR specific block — not "improve your English." The exact thing eating your points.
The breakthrough
Generate ideas in seconds under the timer by asking the questions Americans are trained to ask. This is what unfreezes you when the clock starts.
Vocabulary
Words that stick because you learn them inside strange, memorable texts — and use them in your own sentences the same day.
Structure
Topic → context → example. Defining and non-defining clauses that pack three ideas into one sentence — the fastest way to read as B2 instead of B1.
Speed
Write a dense, high-scoring sentence in one minute. Summarize listening with one keyword per chunk. Outline a full answer in 20 seconds.
Between every session: you send me writing and speaking, I send back examiner-level feedback. That loop is where the points come from — it's exactly how Enea did it.
— You need a specific DET score for university, a Master's, or a visa
— You've taken the test (or practice tests) and you're stuck between roughly 85 and 105
— You have a deadline, and you're willing to do the work between sessions
This is not for you if you're at the beginning of learning English, if you're looking for general conversation practice, or if you can't attend live sessions — this is a live-only program by design.
I can't guarantee you a score — no honest teacher can, because your result depends on you doing the work.
Here's what I can promise, because it's fully in my control: a real diagnosis of what's holding your score down, a plan targeting exactly that, examiner-level feedback on every piece of work you send me, and a method that has taken a real student from a certified 90 to a certified 105.
That's the deal. It's a fair one.
