Me as a Teacher
I love teaching people from different countries and backgrounds and helping you improve your communication with friends, extended family, colleagues and business partners.
I have an MA in Applied linguistics - English and Japanese and I have been a teacher for more than 12 years teaching English, Japanese and my native languages - Bulgarian and Russian. I have also specialised in the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
My lessons & teaching style
I have worked using the communicative and direct methods of teaching as well as different other techniques.

Елена has been amazing as usual. I’ve had 4 lessons with her and she gives me homework after each lesson to reinforce the learnings. As I am still building my vocabularies, she has been incredibly patient. I look forward to more lessons with her!

Very nice lesson - we talked about Russian food, practiced a dialogue, then tackled some verb conjugations. Elena is always really sweet, patient and polite, and keeps the lesson focused and on track with plenty of explanation.

It was very pleasant to talk lightly about different subjects and have my "minor" grammar mistakes :-) corrected on-the-go.
