Estonian is one of the Uralic languages next to Hungarian and Finnish languages.
I encourage everybody to study in Estonia or just improve your knowledge by learning Estonian.
As a native Estonian, I ́m here to teach you some simple everyday language you need there.

MY LESSONS:
Learning Estonian can be quite hard on your own or in a group. As a native speaker, I can help you become fluent in Estonian by mostly practicing conversation and pronunciation. I also help with other aspects of language learning, like writing, reading, and listening. Sometimes I help with Harno exam preparations as well. I tend to work with a maximum of two students at once, so couples, friends, and family members are welcome to have the lesson together. We will be using English as a base language in our lesson.

MY TEACHING STYLE:
- Anxiety and perfection-free space - mistakes are welcome!
- You choose the time, the place, and the learning style
- Every student is unique and has their own pace
- I will provide the study materials for you
- Flexibility in learning
- No grading system

REQUIREMENTS FOR ONLINE LESSONS:
- Having a good Wi-Fi connection
- Having a laptop or a tablet with a camera

REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME LESSONS:
- Living within 30 minutes walking distance from my location
- Having a laptop for exercises

The curriculum and study materials are provided in English, and studies are integrated across disciplines that include geography, biology, history, language, mathematics, science, music, and other forms of artistic expression. I also have a great collection of picture books and 3D wooden study materials, which I've used in classrooms.

Now days knowing different languages is more than just a useful skill. Speaking most spoken languages like russian and english will help you in a lot of ways, like traveling or even finding a job. I also speak Estonian because it is my native language and would be more than happy to teach it.

I can help younger kids or teenagers to start with their language journey. Lets get started!

If you are in a need to start learning a new language or you are willing to improve your skills, it is much easier than it seems. I can help you expand your vocabulary, learn grammar and spelling, overcome language barrier and work on your pronunciation, which is pretty important if you ask me :) I have one and a half year of tutoring experience with different age groups. During this time I have developed my own teaching system by paying attention to the most effective methods and practices. Just let me know what your main goal is for studying English, Estonian or Russian and I will prepare a special learning plan based on your needs.
As for me, learning and teaching languages is my passion. I am native Russian speaker from Estonia and I am fluent in English and Estonian. I also speak German which I have been studying for 4 years and even lived in Berlin for a year. I love exploring new cultures by travelling to different destinations. Start your learning journey with me and I can promise you it will be fun and effective :)

Hello! You will learn to understand Estonian speech, make sentences, speak on different topics, learn the vocabulary you need for your work, learn grammar rules and apply them easily. I am teaching using progressive communication method, where you learn the whole phrase, not word by word. This way it is easier to remember grammar and make grammatically correct sentences.

I have completed a master's degree in teaching Estonian language and literature, German as an additional major. After that, I continued my studies at the Master's degree in translation, where I completed a 2-year program, at the moment I still have a thesis to do. I have been working as a teacher for 17 years now, the last 3 years at the Tallinn English College, where I teach Estonian language, German language, literature, research paper writing on both the national and international (IBO) curriculum. I have also worked as a translator, editor and private teacher (also online).

I am correct, conscientious, flexible, reliable and diligent. I prefer to work at home.
