Do you need help with navigating the major schools of International Relations (realism, liberalism, constructivism)? Do you struggle with understanding the ongoing political developments on both global and domestic scales? Do the subtleties of International Law seem challenging? In my class, we can thoroughly unpack all the difficulties these questions pose.

I am a graduate student of International Relations at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna, Austria. The coursework I have undertaken during my undergraduate and graduate studies has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the following academic fields: International Relations, Political Science, and International Law. Additionally, my professional experience of working at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly First Committee has awarded me first-hand inside knowledge of the most global international organization - the United Nations.

English is fun! My 5-year experience of English tutoring is here to turn boring grammar rules into an interesting journey. I strongly believe motivation is a key to mastering a language: my task No1 is to make sure my student is motivated to learn English.
We will unpack your goals and set both short- and long-term targets in order to achieve them. We will be approaching the language from all possible angles of learning: reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
To those aiming at studying at a university in English, I have my own strategy to share! Academic English is not as scary and complex as it seems; while writing academic papers can seem like a tricky task at first, constant practice and good guidance can do wonders. I am here to help and guide you!

I am here to help you with your high school classes! I am able to help with any class at any level; grades 9-12. It is helpful if you show me your notes and/or assignment so I know exactly what your teacher is asking for. My favorite subject is math and I love editing essays. I can also help with GED tutoring.

I have worked in various high schools for the last 7 years. My caseload has included students with and without an IEP. I want to make sure you are comfortable in this space and explain the material in a way that makes sense to you :)

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.

I am a native English and Russian speaker! I was born in America, and my parents are Russian-speaking immigrants. I taught my mother to speak English. I live between New York and Kyiv. Together, you and I will practice English in conversation, talking about life, movies and art.

I am a professional writer, and will help you practice English by writing in it. Your homework will be to write, and then I will ask you to read out loud your writing! I've taken many foreign language classes as a student, so I understand the frustrations of being in a class without adequate practice.
