Hello, my name is Sebastian. I’m an American with ties to both Russia and the United States. I grew up in Nizhny Novgorod, while my father is from Florida, where I spent many summers with my grandmother. Cinema has always been my passion — not only watching movies but bringing stories to life. I enjoy every stage of filmmaking, from planning and shooting to editing and sharing the final work. I also teach conversational English, helping students break language barriers and gain confidence in speaking.

Me as a Teacher

I have 2 years of experience teaching conversational English, focusing on helping students build confidence and fluency in everyday conversation. I work with learners at A1–B1 levels, creating personalized lessons based on each student's needs and interests. My approach is communicative and student-centered — I encourage speaking from the first lesson, using real-life topics and vocabulary. Although I do not yet hold formal teaching certifications, I am committed to professional growth and regularly study language teaching methods. My strength lies in making English accessible, especially for beginners, and creating a supportive, friendly atmosphere where students feel comfortable speaking.

My lessons & teaching style

I have 2 years of experience teaching conversational English. During this time, I’ve helped students build confidence in speaking through engaging lessons focused on real-life communication. I use simple explanations, practical vocabulary, and interactive activities to make learning enjoyable and effective. My approach is tailored to each student, helping them overcome language barriers and speak more naturally in everyday situations.
