WHO AM I? 🔸 Native English speaker from UK 🔸 Cambridge graduate, PhD in Literature 🔸 Polyglot: English, Chinese, French, Dutch, Turkish, Hindi 🔸 Two Degrees: English and Philosophy 🔸 International Teaching Experience (15 countries) 🔸 University of Language and literature 🔸 Public Speaking (PR) from UCLA 🔸 Academic conversations specialist 🔸 Training for IELTS + TOEFL + SAT and other exams 🔸 Entrepreneurial mindset 🔸 Grammar enthusiast 🔸 Customised resources 🔸 Goal orientated I have been teaching English for more than 20 years and I teach all age groups, from little kids to academic adults. I have lived and travelled all around the world and worked in different international schools as a native English teacher. I have developed special programs for “polishing” English, with the emphasis on grammar and conversation, perfecting speaking skills for adults of all ages and in all life circumstances. I teach people who need English for their work, or they want to move abroad, or they want to pass a certain exam. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: 📌 Hilarious lessons (I am a very funny person and adore my job!) 📌 Lots of assignments and homework (if you want them!) 📌 Lots of free learning materials (unless you prefer to bring yours!) 📌 Learning plan and strategy customized especially for you! 📌 Detailed feedback after each lesson! MAIN MOTO FOR TEACHING - interesting topics make students forget their speaking deficiencies and relax. Relaxation and ease are the most important preconditions for SPEAKING COURAGE! Having starting as a beginner in quite a few languages myself, I cannot emphasize enough the need to have COURAGE to speak the foreign language! To my future students: let’s talk about interesting things and learn the language at the same time. Please be patient with my calendar/schedule. I am usually booked 10+ days in advance. It is great for me and I love it, but it sometimes creates inconvenience for my clients. Thank you for understanding in advance.
