Advert description
I began my teaching journey in Russia over 20 years ago. And since then I have earned a Diploma in TESOL and an MA in TESOL. After leaving Russia, I went on teach in higher education in the Middle East for many years.
I like to make my lessons interactive and interesting, but most importantly - effective. I strongly believe in a communicate approach, but obviously it’s also essential to understand grammar and build up vocab too as well as other skills. As for me, I know what it takes to learn a language as I have personally reached an advanced level of Russian, as well as intermediate in French and I’m currently learning Tagalog.
So, if you study with me you will find that I can tailor lessons according to your needs as I have been designing my own materials for many years. Furthermore, I am tech-savvy and I’m familiar with many online apps, both for teaching and self-study. Additionally, I have worked as an IELTS speaking examiner and apart from my teaching career I worked in business for 10 years for a biotechnology company in the marketing department.
