About the tutor
I'm a professional interpreter taking contracts from private and public enterprises, governments, and the military. At the moment I am pursuing a master's degree in the Philology of the English Language and Comparative Literature Studies. The most important fact about me is that I love teaching, guiding students, and helping them achieve their language goals🦕
I've been actively teaching the English language for the last 5 years to students with various backgrounds, from pupils to medical experts or IT specialists who want to improve their English language skills 🎯. I am certified in both TEFL and TESOL, demonstrating my aptitude for teaching.
One of the most rewarding experiences in my interpreting career was when I received a Challenge Coin 🥇 from U.S. Army General for exceptional interpreting services. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in Philology of Foreign (English) Languages and Comparative Literature Studies.
Fun facts: I've got a British shorthair 🐈, American Whiskey and I love learning languages.
During my 5 years of teaching experience as an English language teacher, I've discovered that the individual approach is the best method to help a student learn and progress.
I use the following methods to help you achieve your goals:
🎯 First, I learn your needs, goals, and the rhythm of language acquisition.
✍ Then I take notes to always keep in mind what you want to achieve.
🙌 Together we find the right approach - this is the key to achieving desired language goals.
How do we learn and progress together:
🎨 When we learn language patterns, together we will also learn WHY native speakers use specific prepositions or syntax, and what LOGIC they use to construct certain sounds and sentences.
🧠 We will learn complicated rules in fun and easy ways, and understanding the logic behind them will help you not simply memorize the rules but analyze, remember and play with them independently.
🌊 You will be showered with correction, repetition, and regular feedback to help you reflect, analyze and build on top of your existing knowledge.
During our first lesson, we will discuss the action plan and how I can help you achieve your goals. You are the star of the show and I will learn from you before I begin to teach. I see relationships with my students as an exchange of values and information. While I coach and direct you through the chaos of grammar, phonology, or syntax of the English language, you teach me how to best help you, what are things you are interested in, and through playful practice, we grow and become better together.
Most of my students speak Russian and as a teacher who also speaks Russian, I understand the linguistic nuances, cultural differences, efficient translation, and challenges the Russian language speakers have to go through when learning English. I will help you acquire and overcome them in a fun and easy way. Learning the language, especially English must be a fun adventurous journey!
