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 fantasy.
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.
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.
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

These English lessons are extremely beneficial, and my progress is clear. The classes are always engaging and interesting, with the teacher using a variety of creative methods to make learning enjoyable.
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.

I like Simona, she is a very patient and open person. I think that is what a teacher should be like. It is fun to meet and chat every week and learn something new. I recommend her!
