I am passionate about languages and particularly about teaching English to teenagers and adults in a comfortable way regarding personal characteristics and needs. I am also eager to learn new languages, at the moment I'm studying Estonian (I passed the B2 level exam in September 2021) and planning to revise my German, so I know all of the struggles my students face. I enjoy meeting and talking to new people: being an English teacher lets me learn about different cultures every day! Overall I have more than 10 years of teaching experience (online and face-to-face; groups and one-to-one; teenagers, students, and adults; from Elementary to Advanced). In 2021 I did my CELTA course and was awarded Pass A. I’ve been really enjoying my course as I had an opportunity to teach students of different levels and backgrounds. Students can expect my classes to be a safe space to share their thoughts and ideas. I know that sometimes students can have a bad experience learning a foreign language, and I can help them to build confidence and really start speaking English. I believe that every student is unique so I will help to set their individual goals and provide the most effective way to reach them.
