I taught a course of English to the Administration Staff of the Local Business Incubator, Town of Leova. I give private off- and on-line lessons to students of different ages and levels.

I am passionate about playing the violin, watching National Geographic, playing chess and other intellectual games. I also spend a lot of time studying professional articles and books and I enjoy creating my own teaching materials for classes.

Todays lesson was very engaging with great conversational practice. Laima was able to correct my mistakes and we had a very productive lesson. Will absolutely have more in the future.

Лайма создаёт очень спокойную и непринуждённую атмосферу на своих уроках. Изучение языка происходит естественным образом без напряжения и усталости. После нескольких месяцев занятий я ощущаю серьёзный прогресс в понимании языка и разговорных навыках.

Multumesc mult! The last two lessons have been especially helpful. You have presented quite complex topics in a simple and approachable way, and I find your materials, including the exercises, extremely helpful and by far the best and most comprehensive explanations of the plural definite article I have seen!

Overall a good lesson and globally I think this teacher is excellent, however too much focus on one one verb during lesson. I do wish to focus somewhat on grammar but highlighting one difficult to pronounce verb for over 10 minutes was draining, especially when it's difficult to pronounce.I understand pronunciation difficulty is probably why she honed in on it but it's not the most utilised verb.
