English for adults, Psychology, Education, Global learning
Speaking English fluently and accurately is one of the key components of global communication. So my approach to teaching English is through communication and human relations. Understanding what a person wants and needs is of primary importance.
I follow life-long learning path myself and always learn new skills inspiring my students to do the same (according to their preferences and values)
Learning English as a foreign language gives a lot of energy and interest in a variety of spheres provoking every person develop and grow throughout their life.
So in my classes I use different Student books (depending on your level) together with fiction/non-fiction/films/podcasts and other eats materials depending on your interests, as I strongly believe that learning process is an individual path and each of us has unique points which motivate and bring the best result.

About Me
Hi everyone,I'm Maria and want to offer you exciting and lively classes of learning English as a foreign language.
I have a Degree in Linguistics as well as CELTA - Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (that means that I am a certified Teacher of English to those for who this language isn't their mother tongue).
In the recent years I tend to have a lot of students who aim to prepare for exams such as IELTS and FCE, who pass and go abroad for multiple reasons - migration, work and study.
I love teaching. Communication with people from around the world is a perfect opportunity for personal and human development. In my work I mainly use Cambridge books for learning English as I have strong methodological basis and can apply different approaches depending on your aim, deadlines and preferences.
My second degree in Psychology (Counseling, Clinical Psychology) and I have private practice as an art-therapist and existential counselor. My opinion is that psychological knowledge is crucial if you work with people. I respect my students' privacy as well as their opinion, religion and gender.
I really want to be useful in achieving your language goals. So give me a message and we can move together in the chosen direction.
Soon I'm going to relocate to Montenegro that's why I'm in search for new students)
Education
Degree in Linguistics and Western Literature, RussiaCELTA (Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), UK
Degree in Psychology and Psychological Counseling, Russia
Degree in Clinical Psychology, Russia
Certificates in Clinical Art-therapy (the UK and Russia)
Currently a Student at Beck Institute (USA) and Trauma Research Foundation (USA)
Current member of AATA (American Art-therapy Association)
Experience / Qualifications
Teaching experience since 2000 (I have worked as a part of a team of international teachers in language schools in Russia and New Zealand)I prefer teaching adults as we can discuss a variety of topics and I can recommend a wide range of resources to strengthen basic skills in English language learning (Speaking, Listening, Writing, Reading)
Psychological and art-therapeutical experience since 2021. I have private practice and cooperate in a volunteer project working freelance as a crisis and trauma psychologist
I'm an art-therapist and offer sessions which can help you better understand yourself through Art (it might be either creating a drawing, collage, clay sculpture or using well-known pieces of Art and using them as a starting point in the session).
How session is organized?
We start with a small talk about your request or problem area that worries you and then I offer to represent artistically the key point of your problem or question. I know a huge variety of techniques as well I have over 500 hours of practice only in art-therapy. Mind that sometimes you need more than 1 session to work out the problem.
As a professional I have my personal art-therapeutic sessions, regular intervisions with colleagues and supervisions with my supervisor (she is from the UK).
You don't need to be a professional artist to try Art-therapy. It's a creative process of getting to unconscious levels of your Self. If you have artistic skills, therapy can help find your way and route in your field as well as better understand yourself as an Artist.
When I say that I'm an art-therapist I mean that I use a variety of tools from different expressive Arts such as bibliotherapy (reading books), museum therapy, music therapy, etc.
I give homework which is optional but highly recommended and it can help you feel closer with your emotions and bring inner peace and balance.
I have a Dergree in Psychological Counseling and Clinical Psychology. Have private practice and plan to relocate to Europe. As part of my plan I want to become a member of European Federation of Art-therapy (EFAT). Currently I'm a foreign member of American Art-therapy Association (AATA)
Feel free to contact me as I work as a clinical psychologist with cases of anxiety, depression or personal disorders. As a professional I don't state any mental diagnose or prescribe medicine but I do work as a supporting specialist with people who have mental disorders using integrative approach: CBT, existential psychology, buddhist psychology and art-therapy.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching. I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Memorise the timetable.
2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods.
Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude.
I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.
What will not be covered in the course:
learning lists of verbs;
learning lists of nouns with articles;
learning words with their translations;
flashcards;
doing school exercises;
following the syllabus of a booklet;
imposing the English grammar on the German language.
What is particularly important to me:
to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm;
to encourage his creativity;
to befriend him with the language;
the letters and their sounds;
to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop;
to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences;
to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...;
to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary.
A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
