I love teaching people from all over the world!Me as a Teacher
It is important to me that the lesson is right for you. I like my lessons to be personal and specific to your objectives and needs. In the initial trial lesson, I will assess your current abilities and discover where you need to be in order to tailor the lessons to your requirements. At the same time, lessons mustn’t be boring. I want you to enjoy each lesson so be sure to tell me what interests you most.
🎈For your children, right from the first lesson I create a friendly atmosphere to make sure they feel comfortable and stimulated learning with me.🎈My lessons & teaching style
I like using interactive exercises to practice what my students need most. I am happy to use any teaching method that best suits the learning style of my students.
🎈Kids' lessons: I have many fun interactive activities for kids, including online games, flashcards, pictures and songs. I can also prepare your child for Cambridge exams! Zoom is preferred.🎈
Exam preparation lessons: To succeed in your chosen exam, I will introduce the exam tasks and the vocabulary, grammar and skills necessary to complete the tasks successfully.
General English classes: improve or maintain your level of English, we can work on vocabulary, grammar and receptive and productive skills.

Jennifer‘s class is really interesting and effective. She leaves writing homework for my son and gives comments during class. Oral communication is necessary for young learner. My son has benefited from the class a lot. Strongly recommend and will keep going~

Italki asks really annoying questions every time I'd like to confirm a lesson, but lessons with Jennifer are a part of my daughter's life. They work together with Jennifer during the lesson, Darina always has homework to do, it is simple, and it just works. Learning a language is a marathon. Thank you Jennifer again and again!
