Specializing in natural English conversation for intermediate/advanced learners, I bring 4+ years of ESL teaching and a multicultural perspective—from Pennsylvania to Ukraine, and currently living in Turkey. I'm fluent in Russian and I am familiar with language-learning struggles that you will encounter. I help students speak confidently about travel, tech, business, or daily life. My background in marketing and love for getting to know new people from different cultures makes my lessons dynamic. Perfect for those who want to think in English, not just memorize. (And yes, I’ve been called “a kinder Sheldon”—ask me why!)

Me as a Teacher

I have over 4 years experience as an online, one-on-one ESL tutor. I teach using CELTA style techniques. I enjoy teaching naturally by encouraging my students to speak the language. My goal is to improve my students' comfort and confidence by explaining how English is spoken and used in America. I remain neutral in political affairs, please don't be shy to book with me: politics are politics, people are people no matter where they come from. I have taught kids and adults from around the world, including Japan, Korea, China, Turkey, Europe, Ukraine, Russia and Brazil. If you are a child, I only request that you are at least conversational or have a desire to learn. : )

My lessons & teaching style

My students will practice speaking or reading as much as possible in a relaxed atmosphere. I prefer conversation style lessons, where I can help my students improve through a natural use of the language. My lessons are focused on what you need, including Grammar, Reading lessons which can help with fluency, pronunciation and vocabulary building. We can also just spend time talking and learning the language through practice with a native speaker. I am patient and kind. My main goal is for my students to learn something in each lesson. I have learned the Russian language & lived in Ukraine for over two years, so I understand how it feels to learn and speak a different language.

What I especially liked about the introductory lesson was the natural flow of conversation - Roland is easy-going, open-minded and gives insights into his personal life.
