English course from an experienced teacher, tailored to your needs
From 57 C$ /h
I'm offering a course in English tailored to your (or your child's) needs. It can be a comprehensive general English course, a specific skill you need to imrove (writing essays, speaking to your coworkers, understanding lectures etc.), or whatever your preferences.
I am a fully Cambridge-Delta-qualified teacher, holding the diploma for experienced teachers in all 3 modules (two Distinctions and one Merit). I have 15 years of teaching experience in different contexts with students aged from 1 to 70 years old, from Russia, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, France, Sweden and other countries.
I speak Mandarin, French and Russian, so this could be used for extra support.

About Me
First of all, I'm an experienced teacher (15 years of experience in Russia, China and online, with kids and adults both).
I have completed all three modules of Cambridge Delta program for experienced teachers with two Distinctions and one Merit.
I have a background in linguistics and I worked as a researcher for quite a few years. I'm also really into learning in general and learning languages: I'm near-native in English, B2 in Mandarin, emergent B2 in French, and Russian is my native language.
If it is important, I've had personal psychotherapy for 7 years, and this means a lot to a teacher, I believe.
I really enjoy creating a supportive environment conducive to learning, whether it is with an adult or a child. Having fun, feeling heard and expressing oneself are just as important as getting the teacher who is competent and knowledgeable.
