Hello, welcome to my profile! I am Faustína Valéria and I am a professional teacher, language coach, translator and programmer. I have been teaching professionally for over 8 years now, ranging from company courses to one-on-one tailored classes. I studied Japanese and French philology, together with linguistics. My second life as an IT guy makes me the ideal pick for tech people who want to take their language skills to the next level. I love teaching and learning languages, because it enables me to make international friends and connect with people. I recently moved back to Slovakia to develop my own company, which helps teachers make language exercises with the help of AI.
Me as a Teacher
My success lies in the good rapport and effective collaboration with my students. I approach every student individually and fashion a personalized language plan, which is interactive and fun. We try to find what works best regarding the student’s motivation, discipline and time management. I am here to listen to you and accompany you on your language journey and I am not afraid to share mine. Gradually, you will grow more and more confident and skillful in your abilities and I am here to support you and make it as easy as possible.
My lessons & teaching style
I use authentic materials targeted at native speakers to bring you as close as possible to the real language. My students are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and be creative. At the same time, I offer strong support in the form of linguistic explanations for grammar and vocabulary, so not only will you know how, but also why. My students take ownership for their progress and the emphasis lies on the active use of the language and the process of making it your own. We can do all parts of the language (speaking, listening, writing, pronunciation, grammar) or just those which are important to you. I give regular assignments to measure and boost your progress.

Tina is a brilliant teacher with vast knowledge of the language and culture. She doesn't follow strict "words of the week" structure, but teaches in a very honest and down to earth way. She doesn't avoid harder topics, and just chatting about either my week or some tougher topic is a great motivation to try and express myself in new language. She makes transition from "I need to learn Czech" to "I want to speak Czech" very easy and natural.

Tina is always thoughtful and she carefully tailors the lessons every time. Whenever I have a question or a point that I am not sure of, she stops and makes sure that I understand thoroughly. She combines a multiple teaching methods including conversation, grammar and vocabulary building, all of which help me develop my overall Slovak languages skills. The best part is that she speaks fluent English AND Japanese, so she can explain the small details in either language if you’re not sure in Slovak. Thank you Tina Sensei!
