About Me

Hello all! My name is Daria. I teach Russian (my native language), English (C2 certificate), Polish (C2 certificate/near native level), Serbian (C1 certificate) and Romanian (C1 certificate). I have been working as a teacher/tutor for more than 10 years. I do not only have excellent reviews from my students - I know that for many of them learning became a hobby.

Besides teaching, I have done a lot of translation (including published literary works), linguistic research and "field" dialectology. I also wrote and edited different kinds of text. So I believe to know languages as structures from every possible angle.

My diversified experience helped me to develop a teaching approach which combines scientific methodology with a lot of fun, improvisation and creative work. My students not only learn how to communicate in one of five languages I teach - they learn the culture and start to really dive into it.

Fancy trying to LOVE a LANGUAGE instead of feeling obliged to do all the hard work? Then don't hesitate to contact me!

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

When you read fluent English and conversations to understand broad topics, read sentences, lessons, and languages, like speaking English with a native speaker. Individual lessons to learn how to modify. Also available for companies and business English.

Hi there! My name is Jana and I am excited to be your tutor! I teach English, Business English, French and Italian but my professional background is in renewable energy, sustainability and public policy. I always saw languages as a tool to open new opportunities and will be happy to guide you on your journey to fluency. Over the years, I have worked as a mentor and educator, helping students and young professionals develop their confidence, communication skills and academic or professional goals. I particularly enjoy helping people become more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves in a foreign language. As a teacher, I prefer a conversational and personalised approach. Rather than relying on textbooks, I focus on real-life communication and creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making progress. If that's something that resonates with you, I will be happy to see you in my class. I can also help with exam prep for IELTS, CAE, CPE, GMAT and GRE:)
