I have taken several professional photography courses and am confident in producing fantastic pictures with a professional or semi-professional digital camera or even a phone camera.

After taking this course, you will learn to take photos from the most beautiful angles, use filters, and use all the fancy features of your digital camera.

Acerca de mí
The thing I enjoy the most in tutoring is explaining complex concepts in simple words and transforming lengthy book texts into sensible ideas and pictures. When I see the understanding in my mentee’s eyes, the way it all starts making sense after the past three hours we have been staring and drawing out the nasty Krebs cycle on the blackboard, then I know it was 100% worth it!

My teaching approach:
1. Start with something simple, just a general idea of what it is and why we are doing it.
2. Start performing the technique and make comments on what you are doing. Point out important things, but do not dive into deep science right here.
3. Check in with students regularly to see if they are actually getting it (NOT "any questions?" or "everybody good on that?", BUT "why do we put this cap here?" or "do you see the white steam coming out?"), make them actively involved by the questions or asking to hold a tube while you get the reactant from the fridge.
4. Go slowly, you are just showing the technique the first time. The students can always speed up when doing it themselves.
5. Make the schematic drawing of the experiment on the blackboard / summarize it in a protocol and let the students try it on their own. Supervise them, give tips, and suggest adjustments.
6. Let them do it fully on their own and let them ask you any questions, even the silliest and "too obvious to ask" ones.

International A-Level (IAL) is a standard education system alongside International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP).

The IAL exam results are an essential part of every college application. US colleges highly value IAL results and award students higher-level course placements and course credits.

That is why I created this course to assist eager learners in studying for the International A-Levels. Having received Biology (A*), Chemistry (A), and Mathematics (A), I can confidently offer you multiple strategies for quickly and correctly solving all the problems and using tricks to get the most out of all your answers so that the graders do not have a choice other than award you full points.

We cannot imagine the modern world without English. It is an essential language in science, media, and the Internet and is known worldwide. So, if you ever feel like English scares you or you want to enhance your speaking and conversation skills, this course is perfect for you!

I received the Duolingo English Test Certificate with 145 points, equivalent to C1 CEFR level, and I have taken the C2 Cambridge English Proficiency course. I studied in an English-speaking high school and college and gained excellent speaking skills there.

You can do that too! Join this English as a Foreign Language course and notice your skills grow!

Illustrator is a great application that meets today's advertising needs. The focus of this course is carefully crafted, moving away from traditional teaching approaches in this discipline. It is essential to establish a knowledge link between color modes, the products that can be created with this application, integration with other applications, and different formats, such as the use of Excel spreadsheets to create interactive, mass-produced brochures with detailed information connected with markers.

Regarding integration, we will use two sister applications of Illustrator: Photoshop and InDesign for the creation of magazines.
