Hello, I'm Aleksandra, a law student at the University of Fribourg. I'm available to teach Italian, Russian, German, and French.

I have extensive experience teaching, having worked with students and adults of all ages for four years, so I'm very knowledgeable about teaching. Thanks to my studies, I've also refined many note-taking and memory techniques. Furthermore, as a mill worker at several camps, I'm also very good at teaching elementary, middle, and high school children.

Over the past year, I've given many private and group lessons, including online, so I've gained a lot of experience teaching remotely. Since I have very young siblings, I'm also very familiar with the school curriculum.

Methodology
My teaching method is based on textbooks, supplementing my explanations with other textbooks, such as those used to prepare for the Goethe test or various grammar books.
