General English and for Specific Purposes, Test Prep

From 100 C$ /h

I am a TEFL certified professional English teacher who is experienced in teaching general English and English for Specific Purposes both face to face and online. I help my students reach their goals of preparing for a test like IELTS or Cambridge, a job interview, negotiations, presentations and becoming more fluent in the language in general. Besides editing and proofreading my students’ writing, such as business correspondence, CVs, personal statements and academic texts, I teach them how to improve their writing skills and become a confident language user. I also teach teenagers and young adults.
My lessons are fun, interactive and tailored to your needs! Apart from audio-video resources, role-plays, interesting texts and practicing for your tests, we will focus on pronunciation for listeners to improve your listening and speaking skills. I also pay a lot of attention to developing my students’ autonomy that helps you learn the language outside the classroom.

About Me

I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher who has taught adults, business professionals, university students, teenagers and young learners. I often develop my own materials to suit my students' needs and interests. My approach to teaching is a lot about common sense: help and support you when you are struggling, provide enough practice to make you feel confident outside the classroom, teach you how to learn the language in your daily life as you go along.

Education

I have Trinity Cert TESOL, Oxford TEFL
I hold a graduate degree (equal to a bachelor's+1 year) in foreign languages (linguistics) and literature from Udmurt State University, Russia

Experience / Qualifications

I have worked for multinational companies, such as Procter&Gamble, IKEA and Philip Morris so I am aware of the language needs of business people. I have taught owners of small businesses in Russia to help them start working internationally. I have tutored students of Higher School of Economics in Moscow to help them in their studies and prepare for IELTS. I have also enjoyed working with teenagers to improve their language skills and develop critical thinking. I have worked with young learners and found it very rewarding.

Hello! I am a Russian native speaker, a holder of a degree in Linguistics and Translation and a very dedicated tutor. I offer Russian language courses which will help you to master Russian in a short period of time.
During my classes, you will have a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of listening, speaking, writing and reading activities. We will focus on essential vocabulary, common phrases and, of course, grammar. My lessons are well-structured and I always have a special approach to each student, explaining all the material in tiny details.
I have lived and studied abroad, so my English is fluent, and I will explain all the rules in a very accessible manner.
By the end of the intensive course you will be able to:

I am looking forward to teaching you!

Polyglot, especially passionate about the English language, I wish to transmit my knowledge to learners from 13 years. I do not have a predefined method, we will define together that you want to refresh old knowledge or you are already well advanced. However, I try to give the course a maximum in English and like to vary the teaching aids, books, videos, songs, etc ... I learned English everywhere, but having a clear preference for British English, my vocabulary is leaning on that side. Finally, only one word: FUN, because learning a language must be a pleasure

English in Secondary I/II is often the time when students must move from basic vocabulary to a true mastery of grammar and expression. It is also the time when some begin to fall behind, due to a lack of regular practice outside of school.
I offer private English lessons for Secondary I students, level A2 to B1. We work on grammar (verb tenses, structures, prepositions), thematic vocabulary, written expression (compositions, emails) and oral expression (conversation, pronunciation, listening comprehension).
I have a B2 level in English and I use it regularly. Lessons can be structured around the student's textbook, or take the form of freer conversation practice for students who need to gain fluency.
My approach is practical: fewer rules to memorize, more real-life situations. Language is learned by practicing it, and it's through making mistakes that we progress. I adapt to each student's level and pace.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy from an early age through my family's long-standing tradition and cultural heritage. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for Chinese calligraphy as both an art form and a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging from 4 years old to adults, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My classes focus not only on handwriting techniques but also on cultivating an understanding of the rich cultural traditions behind the art.

I was introduced to Chinese calligraphy at a very young age thanks to the long tradition and cultural heritage of my family. This foundation allowed me to develop a deep admiration for Chinese calligraphy, both as an art form and as a reflection of Chinese culture, history, and philosophy.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching Chinese calligraphy in Switzerland to students ranging in age from four to adulthood, from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My courses focus not only on writing techniques but also aim to develop an understanding of the rich cultural traditions that underpin this art.

得益于家族悠久的传统和文化遗产,我从小便接触中国书法。这一基础使我能够深领略中国书法作为一种艺术形式,以及作为中国文化、历史和哲学的体现所蕴含的深厚价值。

过去八年来,我在瑞士教授中国书法,学生年龄从4岁到成年人不等,来自多元的文化和语言背景。我的课程不仅注重书写技巧,更致力于培养学生对这门艺术背后丰富文化传统的理解。
