I started teaching online using italki just before the pandenic and have loved teaching in all the different countries. I am currently mixing teaching one to one within peoples homes and in businesses as well as online. I teach Business English, IELTS (writing,reading and speaking online), General English and Conversation English. My lessons & teaching style
My main focus in a lesson is the students need and learning style. I will make sure that I use different material that not only help the student learn English but is also interesting to them. To do this I use everything from Ted Talk to worksheets. Learning should be interesting and fun! If the student would like homework then I will provide it!My teaching material

I can say that English classes with Alexandra are very effective. During the classes, she always tried to help me formulate my thoughts in English more simply, which helped me a lot. The topics of the classes were very interesting and helped to increase my vocabulary. She is a very friendly and cheerful person, which is very important for creating a good atmosphere during the lesson. I want to thank Alexandra for her significant help in improving my spoken English.

Alexandra is an excellent teacher. I returned to her lessons for the second time after a break. Our conversational English classes were held in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, and she always brought interesting topics for discussion. She was very attentive, gently corrected my pronunciation, and helped me choose the most appropriate words. Her speech and pronunciation were very clear. I truly enjoyed learning with her and would highly recommend taking lessons with Alexandra.

I was trained and prepared correctly for the IELTS Speaking test. Alexandra helped me understand the different parts of it and gave me helpful advice based on my vocabulary range. Throughout the sessions, thanks to her teaching method, I could develop the self-confidence required to express myself easily.
