About Me
Hello all! My name is Daria. I teach Russian (my native language), English (C2 certificate), Polish (C2 certificate/near native level), Serbian (C1 certificate) and Romanian (C1 certificate). I have been working as a teacher/tutor for more than 10 years. I do not only have excellent reviews from my students - I know that for many of them learning became a hobby.
Besides teaching, I have done a lot of translation (including published literary works), linguistic research and "field" dialectology. I also wrote and edited different kinds of text. So I believe to know languages as structures from every possible angle.
My diversified experience helped me to develop a teaching approach which combines scientific methodology with a lot of fun, improvisation and creative work. My students not only learn how to communicate in one of five languages I teach - they learn the culture and start to really dive into it.
Fancy trying to LOVE a LANGUAGE instead of feeling obliged to do all the hard work? Then don't hesitate to contact me!
