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

Kas alustame? (Shall we start?)

About Me
Hello,

My name is Kristel, and I am a native Estonian speaker living in Tallinn. I am teaching Estonian to expats who plan to stay in Estonia for an extended period. As a language tutor, I love helping people grow their language skills and gain confidence in speaking.

In addition to teaching, I am also a language learner. Currently, I am studying Spanish to enhance my skills, which gives me a unique perspective on the challenges of learning a foreign language.

If you are interested in learning Estonian and want to gain practical language skills, I would be happy to be your tutor. Together, we can unlock opportunities for personal growth in Estonia.

Conversation / Help with homework / Get ready for exam / And much more!

Est-ce que tu parles français ?
The best way to improve a foreign language is to speak it! Why ? Because it is by practicing actively, by living the things that we create the best memories!
I know how difficult it can be to get started. That's ok, I'm here to support you! I help you to:
- feel comfortable speaking
- hold a conversation in French (friendly - professional)
- correctly construct your sentences
- work on your pronunciation
- strengthen your vocabulary
- avoid language errors
- focus on the points which need to be revised (grammar, conjugation, etc.)
- get ready for an exam
- discover French culture
- organize your vacation in France. Why not ;)
All with good mood, kindness and benevolence :D
How about practicing during a walk, having a coffee or lunch, a picnic, for example?

Need support while learning French?
I also help with homework (all levels) for both children and adults! There is no age to learn a new language :)

If you have any questions or have a specific idea of ​​how you would like to work on your French, please let me know!

We can start from scratch and learn the basics of English. We should cover grammar, tenses, sentence structure, vocabulary as well as pronunciation of words. By the end of the class, you should be able to make conversations and write essays in English.
For Mathematics, I prefer onsite teaching where you and I can sit together and solve sums. You will learn the solving techniques and practice worksheets. Mathematics lessons are for classes/grades 1-10.
Worksheets will be provided for all lessons.
