I am a 36-year-old English linguist of Ukrainian origin, born and raised in Estonia, a native speaker of Russian, having lived and taught in Estonia as well as in Iceland and currently living in Tenerife, Spain. I love connecting with people from all over the world.Me as a Teacher
I am a qualified TEFL teacher with over 10 years of international teaching experience. I have taught the English and Russian languages at public schools in Estonia and Iceland as well as with multiple nationalities through online engagement. I am enthusiastic about my job, longing for new life experience and professional development, open to share my ideas and experience.My lessons & teaching style
Depending on your needs, we can focus on either improving your grammar skills, growing your vocabulary, helping you become more confident and fluent when speaking English. Or we can focus on academic writing. I am sure that we learn the best when we enjoy the process. In my class I would like to figure out which tools work the best for your learning process, so that together we can build a curriculum that is perfect for you. I use a variety of tools in my work, for instance, Google Applications and educational platforms, such as Quizlet, Wizer.me and Kahoot, where I create my own materials. Also, I employ materials available online, for example, videos, flashcards and interactive ESL games.Certificates

Learning foreign languages has always been very stressful for me.
But thanks to Julia, I realized that learning English can be very enjoyable and fun.

Excellent first lesson! Julia is patient, fun, and easy to talk to, along with very organized--she sets an outline and makes sure to accomplish the goals for the time together. Classes are very well prepared and structured to match the student's level :)
