De beste Lets leerkracht voor jou

For the past 10+ years I have been working as a translator, reviser, interpreter and language teacher. I have a Bachelor and Master level professional degree in translation and interpretation. My teaching experience is about 5 years – in private, in groups up to 20 people and online. I have various experience, but personally prefer helping beginners and intermediate language users to improve their skills, especially speaking, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The main focus is on: - Conversational practice and role-play - Real in-life use of new words and phrases with understanding the context - Overall understanding, listening and reading skills - Proper grammar and writing skills

Because of my background as a musician, I pay a lot of attention to pronunciation, rhythm, and natural speech — it really helps you sound more confident and authentic. I like using structured materials such as books, but I always bring the language to life through conversation. During our chats, I’ll help you notice mistakes, explain grammar clearly, and make sure you actually understand how Latvian works. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, relaxed, and effective.

I have been teaching adults and children (3-18), groups and individuals, Business English, General English and Preparation for the Exams for more than 20 years.

"Language is the road map of a culture." As a language teacher, my primary goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to explore and express themselves in Latvian. I believe that every student has unique strengths. I emphasize interactive learning through conversational practice, role-playing, and real-life scenarios to help my students use Latvian in practical situations. I encourage open communication and feedback, ensuring my students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their thoughts. My approach is patient and encouraging, and I celebrate each student's progress. I am committed to providing each of you with a high-quality, personalized learning experience.

Step Into Latvian: Language, Culture, Connection My teaching approach is grounded in building a supportive, inclusive environment where students feel comfortable experimenting with language. I incorporate visuals, audio aids, and interactive methods to make lessons engaging and adaptable to diverse learning styles. Drawing on my experience as an ESOL tutor, I know how to tailor lessons to meet each learner's unique needs. I value collaboration and encourage active participation, helping students develop confidence and fluency in their target language (adult learners only).
