About Me
italki teacher since Nov 20, 2017InterestsTravelScienceHistory
I’ve always loved to learn languages ever since I was young. I would often go to our city library and read books on as many languages as possible. As I got older, my love for languages only grew stronger. Now, I have a bachelor’s degree in linguistics with a minor in Arabic, a Russian language certificate and a certificate for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). I’m a native speaker of English, and I speak Russian at the C2 level. I’ve also studied numerous other languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French and German, and I’m learning new languages all the time.
As a student of languages, I know what study habits are the most effective. I can also explain grammar in simple terms and provide conversational practice, which you need in order to speak the language well. I have experience teaching to people of different backgrounds, age groups, and levels of English. I'm flexible and I can adapt to your individual needs and goals.
Teaching Style
I offer both informal tutoring and professional lessons. With informal tutoring, we can choose a topic to discuss, and I will write feedback in the chat. This type of lesson can also be used for asking questions and checking your writing, among other things. With professional lessons, we will follow the course of a textbook, which will include reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and homework.

Learning a second language is difficult, but when you find the right person, it becomes easier. After talking with John, I realized that my English has improved a lot since I started studying it, five and a half years ago. His classes are not bored, we practice real English, which is the best part for me. At the end of the class, he gave me some feedback, so I could see where I made mistakes and now I can fix them. Are you looking for a good teacher? Book a class with him, you will not regret it.
