CREDENTIAL and EXPERICENE

For over three years, I have been working as an English teacher. I have been teaching children (ages 10 and up), teenagers, university students, and adults, using both English textbooks as well as developing a lot of my own material from the real world. I have taught general English to classes of up to 16 people, business English in large tech companies in Russia, prepared many students for IELTS, and am currently utilizing all of these skills via Skype lessons. Additionally, I was given the opportunity to teach two summer intensive courses in Sochi, Russia. During this period, I was preparing teenagers for the internationally recognized LCCI exam.

ABOUT HOW WE LEARN TOGETHER

You will learn English by reading articles and possibly watching interesting videos. We will examine the grammar and vocabulary (one grammar topic per lesson) from these real materials from the English speaking world to learn English. Your interests are our basis for you learning English. I don't really believe in using books to teach English, but rather using real situations, articles, and videos about current issues or whatever part of English you need to learn (tourism, travelling, topic discussion, etc.). I think it just makes sense as these are the reasons why you will be using English: to talk to people or to communicate something that you need in any situation!
