Über mich

Hi, I have been a teacher for the past fourteen years. I first acted as facilitator and tutor for university students and for the past eleven years I have been an English Primary teacher (IEB Curriculum) at a private school in Windhoek. I also have experience in teaching English as an additional language. I have always had a great passion for literature and the arts and obtained my Master's Degree in English, specialising in Literature, from the North West University in South Africa. I am also a poet and photographer in my free time. Being creative is a very important part of my life. I look forward to sharing this passion with you.

Bildung

I studied for 6 years at the North West University in South Africa where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Humanities in 2009, my Honours Bachelor of Arts in English in 2010 and my Master of Arts in English in 2013.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen

I have completed level one of ITSI (Digital Teaching Technologies), obtained the 120 hour TEFL certificate after completing the full course, took and completed a course as Supplemental Instruction Leader and have 14 years teaching experience both online and face to face. My students varied in number from one student to twenty five students per class.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Hi there!

As a teacher of Russian and English with years' of experience, I love my job because it allows me to see people's progress in learning new languages as well as their eminent success!
What's the most important thing for me as a teacher? I guess it is to find an individual approach to everyone. My goal is to make a lesson as efficient and entertaining as possible. Engaging tasks that encourage students to be focused on their goal to speak, understand and use the language is a must! Moreover, I cannot ignore various cultural aspects hence include interesting discussions on culture and history since it is also highly important when learning a language.
As a native Russian, I am eager to share my knowledge about Russian traditions, history and culture with my students. As a specialist in English, I am ready to discuss American literature and culture too!
Shoot me a message if you are interested in what I've just texted here.
Cheers!

From helping you master the general techniques of literary analysis and teaching you how to compare literary works to answer exam questions on character development, theme and techniques, my course will provide you with all the tools and knowledge you need to dazzle even the most demanding IB examiner.

Through my course, you will get access to a vast library of resources (at no extra cost) - from official IB textbooks and past papers to teacher guidance - to help you perfect both your analytical and essay-writing skills.
