About Me
italki teacher since Mar 1, 2022Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesReadingArtScienceSports & Fitness
Hello, my name is Simona. I grew up in Lithuania, in a gorgeous small town. Is the stereotype that it ALWAYS rains in Lithuania true? I would say yes :). At the moment, I am living in Turkey.
I speak English, Lithuanian, Turkish and a little bit of Russian. I like sketching, hiking and riding a bike with my son. These days I read thrillers.
Hoşgeldiniz! Benim adim Simona, Litvanıyalım. 8 sene önce Türkiye"ye taşındım ve Türk iklimi ve mutfağına bayılıyorum. İngilizce dışında Litvaniyaca, Türkçe ve Rusça konuşabılıyorum.
Sveiki! Mano vardas Simona, šiuo metu gyvenu Turkijoje. Laisvalaikiu skaitau knygas, piešiu ir sportuoju. Kalbu angliškai, lietuviškai, turkiškai ir šiek tiek rusiškai.Me as a Teacher
I have 10 years of teaching experience. I graduated from Vilnius University. It is ranked as the best university in Lithuania. I hold BA and MA degrees. I am certified in TEFL (120 hours) and CELTA (Pass A). I am all about personal needs analysis.My lessons & teaching style
I will provide you with practical everyday phrases so you sound more like a native English language speaker. My lessons are student-oriented, so no more long speeches from the teacher. My lessons are fun and interactive. Let's talk about your goals. I am a firm believer in "practice makes it perfect".My teaching material

I noticed that I was talking faster. At the end of the course, Simona showed me some mistakes I made. It helps me to target my points to improve.

私はワーホリでヨーロッパに移住してきた者です。移住前から現在までずっとシモナ先生のレッスンを受けてきました。終始リラックスした雰囲気でとても話しやすく英語に苦手意識あった自分でもすぐになじめました。毎回レッスンの終わりにフィードバックをくれますし、自分の要望を聞いてレッスンの内容をアレンジしてくれたり、質問に真摯に答えてくれたりと本当にためになっています。
I've took her lessons before moving to Europe to now. She is
- quite supportive and motivational. I'm able to relax and talk easily
- flexible and she listened to my request arraged lessons
- gave me feeback end of lesson every time
Thanks to her lessons, I become able to manage my daily life in here. Now my friends praise my progress in English.
