Class Description

I offer a unique approach to English for children based on language, imagination and emotional connection.

Having lived and studied in Australia, and with a strong background in family and child psychology, I do not teach English as a traditional lesson. I create an experience in which children learn naturally through movement, stories, music, conversation and creative activities.

My classes are especially suitable for children who need more than a standard teacher – children who learn through atmosphere, attention and encouragement.

I work individually and adapt each class to the child's personality, interests and level. The goal is not only to improve English, but to help the child feel confident, expressive and curious.

Extra information for the student

Each class is individually prepared. Parents are welcome to share the child’s interests, personality and goals in advance so I can create the right atmosphere and approach.

About Me
I create individual English sessions for children through play, imagination and emotional connection.

I lived and studied in Australia, travelled widely and for the last years have been deeply studying child development, family psychology and modern approaches to learning.

My lessons are not traditional tutoring. I create a calm, inspiring atmosphere where children begin to speak English naturally, feel confident and enjoy learning.

I work especially well with sensitive, creative and intelligent children and I adapt each lesson to the child’s personality, interests and pace.

Dear student / Querido alumno:

My name is Denise. I am a Mexican Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) teacher certified by the Escuela Internacional Cervantes and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Literature from the University of Nuevo León (UANL, Mexico).

I began tutoring Spanish at an early age, initially helping classmates improve their academic performance, and later formalizing my teaching practice during my university studies.

For the past seven years, I have been teaching Spanish in both America and Europe, working with children, teenagers, and adult learners in academic tutoring, in-company training, online instruction, and professional language support.

My teaching approach is structured, adaptive, and goal-oriented. Lessons are designed according to the student’s level and specific objectives, with a clear focus on progress and consistency.

Students receive guided practice, exercises, and curated learning materials as part of their learning process. I work with a variety of resources, including textbooks, videos, podcasts, and newspapers, depending on the learning goal.

Depending on your needs, we can focus on grammar, academic Spanish, professional communication, or structured conversational practice with topics such as culture, arts, politics, and society.

I invite you to contact me so we can define your learning goals and build a consistent study plan together.

Dear Sirs and Madames,

I gave private tutoring for a long time during university.
As a student of human rights and then as a project worker
I have already given language courses for refugees so that they can study successfully. (Learning buddy program: Start with a friend).

Now I teach my native language in Vienna. After my work as a project worker, I was an intern at the Advocacy Section of the United Nations where I was responsible for translations on a daily basis.

In the course of my work, I have worked with other teachers and developed my own teaching methods. In order to guarantee an effective education for the students, I offer varied lessons with oral and written exercises that correspond to the students' goals.

Sincerely yours,
Claire.

Hi there!
You'd like to feel more at ease with going to French, German or English classes? Whatever level, whether you just started learning one of these languages or are heading towards high school graduation - in our lessons we can focus on learning material from class. At the same time I'd be happy to prepare creative exercises tailored to your personal needs in order to make the language more fun!
Having myself graduated in all three languages in Austria, I was later able to deepen my language skills during long-period stays abroad (US, France, language class C1) and while studying (DELF, French language course C1, courses in English).
Considering myself a passionate creative writer I would be pleased to share some of my joy in language with you. If you feel like going on this journey together, let me know.
See you soon

Want to speak Russian confidently but feel stuck? This course is designed for learners who already know basic Russian (A2 level or higher) but need real conversation practice.

This is not a traditional lesson. This is a 1-on-1 Russian conversation session with a native speaker, focused on helping you speak naturally and fluently.

During each session, you will:
- practice speaking Russian in real-life situations
- improve your fluency and confidence
- learn to express your thoughts more naturally
- receive gentle corrections without pressure

You can choose your preferred format:

💬 Free conversation
Talk about everyday topics such as lifestyle, travel, work, or hobbies.

🎯 Topic-based conversation
Practice specific situations, for example:
- ordering food in a restaurant
- traveling and airports
- meeting new people and small talk
- workplace communication
- daily life situations

After each session you will receive:
- key corrections
- useful phrases and expressions
- relevant vocabulary from the session

This course is suitable for A2, B1, and B2 learners. You should already be able to:
- understand basic conversations
- form simple sentences
- communicate at a basic level

The session is conducted mainly in Russian. English support is available if needed, so you never feel stuck.

This course is ideal if you:
- want to improve your spoken Russian
- understand Russian but cannot speak confidently
- want real conversation practice with a native speaker
- prefer speaking over grammar exercises
Important! This is not a grammar-focused course. The main goal is to help you start speaking Russian confidently and naturally.
