Native English 1-on-1 (reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, conversation, comprehension)

Hello,

I am offering the opportunity to improve your English in a private in-person format in a location of your choosing in Tartu, Estonia. I am a Canadian-born native English speaker who is proficient in Estonian and have lived in Tartu for approximately eight years. My formal higher education includes a BA from the University of Toronto (Sociology, Semiotics), MA from Tartu University (Sociology), and a BEd from the University of Toronto (Primary-Junior Education). I am a board certified teacher (Ontario College of Teachers) who is in good standing. My formal teaching experience includes over ten years in an elementary public school setting (Canada, Ontario) and USA, Hawaii). Additionally, I have worked in Tokyo, Japan as an English teacher working with students aged 5 to 50+, including conversational, business, and formal English. Prior to working as a teacher I worked in Higher Education Administration for several years at some of the most competitive universities in Canada and the United States where I supported and managed on-campus student leaders. Overwhelmingly my students and colleagues consistently tell me that I am very kind and patient. Others know me for my high standards, desire to achieve perfection, and great attention to detail. My learning is most successful with a patient, supportive, and holistic approach that teaches me what and how I wish to learn and only when I am ready. I would like to offer you the same.

Maths and English tutoring for high-school students
These classes are for school students, who may find certain topics, or the whole subject unclear. Don't let those small complications get you down. I'm here to help. The tutoring can be held online through any app you prefer or by meeting at a certain place (cafe, if you prefer noisy places or your comfy study room). I offer full subject tutoring or assistance in projects/home assignments. In the case of full subject tutoring, I might give some small extra work, so that you do it on your own without any help from anyone else, to make sure you understood the topic and can move on with the next one. I promise, that classes won't be boring and communicating with me in English will be super easy and sometimes even fun. You will see the result for yourself after a certain time and I will only be proud to know, that I might have helped you.
