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

Teacher has a unique ability to choose the best ways to learn according to the individual and make each lesson both fun and educational.
Simply put, she is the best teacher I’ve had.
