Hello! My name is Audra. I am passionate about languages, travel and reading. This passion grew into my profession. I studied languages, traveled a lot; and I am still learning new foreign languages as a hobby. I am excited to share my language skills and teaching experience with serious language learners. Terve! Nimeni on Audra. Pienestä asti olen pitänyt vieraista kielistä. Lapsena opin puhumaan venäjää vaikka äidinkielenä puhun liettuaa. Myöhemmin opiskelin suomea pääaineena Pietarin yliopistossa. Kiinnostus kielistä yhä innostaa minua opiskelemaan uusia kieliä ja opettaa niitä muille. Sveiki! Mano vardas Audra. Aš labai mėgstu mokytis ir mokyti užsienio kalbas, skaityti ir keliauti. I studied Finnish and Russian languages in Russia. I hold Master's in these languages. After my studies, I started to teach Finnish, Lithuanian and Russian languages privately and in group settings. As a teacher, I am patient, understanding and always listen to my students’ needs and wants. My lessons are textbook-structured, meaning I do not lecture during the lesson but rather explain troublesome parts of grammar. This applies especially to beginners because textbooks provide a basic foundation when starting to learn a new language. I supplement my lessons with lots of exercises, materials from the internet or developed by me. With intermediate and advanced students, I prefer to use social media, teach spoken language or prepare them for standardized language tests.

Another fantastic lesson! I learn more with every lesson and I really enjoy the time spent in our sessions. Though the Lithuanian language is very complex, Audra is both very well educated in English and great at thoroughly explaining key topics in a way that furthers my ability to understand and speak. She is a fantastic instructor!

Audra provides solid lesson plans and provides structure for study outside of class. I think that this structure has allowed for steady gradual improvements; I started only knowing the words "Nekalbu lietuviskai" (I do not speak Lithuanian) to now knowing many words and how to use them in a sentence. She is very patient and understanding, taking the student at their own pace while building on subjects. I think that this in addition to her caring demeanor make her fantastic instructor.

My second lesson with Audra was great. Even though I've just started learning Lithuanian, I have already learned a lot thanks to Audra's excellent structure of lessons. I really appreciate when teachers review previous lessons with my so I was really happy today when we went over the most important things from last lesson and homework. Audra explains concepts very clearly and encourages me to try to say more challenging things which I appreciate a lot! I'm excited for the next Lithuanian lesson already. :)

Audra is very patient and she will meet you where you are at in terms of understanding, and build upon weak points. I think that this way of teaching has been very helpful in getting me able to understand the language so far as Lithuanian definitely has a learning curve. Fantastic instructor!
