As a Cambridge CELTA-certified teacher with 14+ years of experience, I specialize in practical English—whether for exams, work, or daily conversations. My multicultural background (fluent in Turkish, Russian, and Kyrgyz) helps me connect with diverse learners. When I’m not teaching, I’m exploring cookbooks or sci-fi novels—because mastering language, like a good recipe, requires curiosity and practice!

Me as a Teacher
I am CELTA and TKT certified (Cambridge assessment), experienced teacher. I have MA degree with Distinction in English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics from Coventry University. I received an award from the British Council for my MA dissertation, which was recognized as one of the best in ELT.
It is very important to me that after every lesson my students have the feeling that they have learnt something and found answers to their questions.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are interesting, engaging and motivating. What is important, I organize them in accordance with my students' needs. I use variety of materials depending on what I teach. I believe that all skills (Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking) are dependent on each other, that's why I prefer to use the Integrated approach in my lessons.
I EXPECT RESPONSIBITY from my students too. I DO NOT ACCEPT absences or rescheduling in less than 24 hours.

I've had the pleasure of being tutored by Elvira for several months now, and I can confidently say that she is the best English teacher I've ever had! Her dedication, professionalism, and expertise have truly transformed my language learning.
One aspect of Elvira's teaching that stands out is her ability to explain complex grammar concepts in a clear and understandable way. I look forward to every lesson, and each lesson gives me a great mood and motivates me to practice English more and more.
