I am a PGDE qualified teacher with over 3 years experience of working both in a secondary school and as a private tutor.
I have worked with students preparing for both 11+ and 13+ exams who have been accepted into their first choice schools.
I plan stimulating and engaging lessons which have been deemed ‘outstanding’ by external observers.
I enjoy seeing fast and sustained progress in the students I mentor, who feel a sense of accomplishment from their sessions with me because of the positive feedback they receive.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen
I have taught years 7 to 11 for the last two years, preparing students for their GCSEs as well as assisting with sixth form applications and personal statements. I have also worked as a private tutor specialising in 11+ and 13+ entrance examination preparation

I have extensive experience of differentiating my teaching to suit the needs and abilities of students and therefore aim to set clear and concise lesson objectives which are unique to each student I tutor. I am quick to identify weaknesses or misconceptions and aim to target these in an engaging and supportive way. I use encouragement to ensure that self-esteem is not compromised and create a safe space where mistakes are embraced as an essential part of the learning process.

I will often refer back to relevant exam specifications to pinpoint the essential information which allows more complex material to be later accessed, and apply a great deal of attention to effective exam technique. I will use different forms of assessment throughout lessons to measure understanding and progress towards meeting the learning objectives and will use this to inform future planning. I am also happy to set and mark homework should this be helpful for the student I am working with.

Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so!

Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about.

Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand.

In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!
