Would you like your child to grow up speaking English with confidence? I’m here to help them achieve that goal! Learning a language takes dedication and hard work, but it can also be a lot of fun. I recommend a consistent weekly schedule and, when possible, some engaging homework to reinforce learning. With 9 years of experience teaching English to children and teenagers, I bring expertise and enthusiasm to every lesson. I hold a bachelor’s degree, a TEFL certificate, and a TEYL (Teaching English to Young Learners) certificate. Outside of teaching, I enjoy outdoor activities and spending quality time with my family. Let’s work together to help your child succeed in English!

Dear Hester , i’m going to the US very soon. I’m very grateful to you for all our lessons. You always found very interesting materials for our lessons, the newest articles, useful words, therefore i enjoyed every lesson. You also helped me with preparing for a visa interview in the USA, and it was successful!! Learning English for many years in Russia with other teachers , it was hard for me to understand foreigners , but you helped me to improve my skills)

I am very happy to find an English teacher like Hester. She gets along well with children/teenagers. Each lesson is structured: learning words and new grammar is done mainly through context (pictures and texts, cartoons, and games).
