About Me

"Quality over quantity" - this is my moto in teaching. I know if I carefully prepare for my lessons, if I listen to your needs, then you will be able to learn faster. My lessons are engaging and fun, we won't spend much time on doing very similar exercises. We will speak a lot, even if it's your very first lesson!

Education

I got my bachelor's degree in economics in Russia and during my studies I fell in love with teaching languages. I started to help kids with their homework and eventually I got more and more experience and my lessons became so much more than just help with homework. In 2020 I got 3 Cambridge certificates designed for teachers. Also I have been taking private lessons on phonetics for two years. In 2022 I had the most prestigious exam for English teachers called Delta and I passed with Merit.

Homework support and foreign language courses - connect fun and efficiency
Languages connect people all over the world. Learning a language does not only mean being able to communicate in a foreign country but with languages, we also get to know a new culture and different habits or ways of life. Languages open many doors and it is never too late to learn a new one.

Accent Reduction for non-native English speakers (USA or UK English)
Welcome! I specialize in aiding non-native English speaking professionals with accent reduction. I can help you learn either the American or British English accent. I'm also able to aid a client in public speaking skills if desired. I am a native American English speaker (born and raised in the USA), and I am a professional private voice instructor. I have several years experience teaching languages and specialize in English diction. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Music Education: Vocal Performance and therefore have the ability to cater my lessons exactly to each individual student's needs. I specialize in developing a keen, discerning ear, and connecting that identification of sound to slight physical alterations that can make a big difference for you in your daily professional and social life. I can help you communicate more articulately and efficiently. First I help you achieve the correct recognition and production of the speech sounds necessary for English. I will then help you use correct intonation patterns, stress, and rhythm in conversational speech. Accent Reduction will help you speak more clearly, freely, and directly. Feel free to send me a quick message, and we can set up a lesson. I look forward to meeting you!

Russian, Turkish language for every level. English level A1-B2

Andrea Elena Santos
¡Español para todos los niveles de una manera divertida que te ayudará a adorar aprender idiomas!
First Spanish lesson: Yes, as weird as it may seem, we have opening question and exclamation marks "¿¡!". See? First lesson done, the rest is as just as easy and fun! I have been tutoring in languages for 8 years, and have covered several ranges. I have a BA in Linguistics and my research career focuses on language acquisition, so I know how your brain works when it is introduced to a new language! More than experience, I believe learning new languages is essential and beautiful, and will give you a unique experience to understand Spanish-speaking cultures. I know how challenging it can be, so I structure my classes in ways that will help maintain your motivation. In my experience, the best outcomes come from (as we say in Spanish) "tirarte a la piscina", which literally means "throwing yourself into the pool". By this I mean I expect you to say anything and everything you can say in Spanish, even if you need to invent 50% or more of what you say. Hearing and trying to speak all the time is what will make you improve fastest. I always try to adapt my classes to your needs and your personality, so feel free to give any constructive feedback! ¡Espero conoceros pronto!

Mina
English teacher with plenty of experience and patience
If you want to learn English language, I am here to help you. It is not difficult as it may look, but you have to be persistent if you want to reach your goal. Let me show you that English classes can be fun and studying can be interesting. I'm an English teacher for more than six years and I have plenty of experience. At the beginning of the course, studying material is particularly selected for each student depending on their level of knowledge. After the type of course is determined, focus is on the weak spots and improving whatever skill a student is lacking in. Speaking is always emphasized. In class students can suggest other materials, books etc and ask for lessons they want to study. Asking questions is always a good thing and cooperation between teacher and a student is crucial. If you agree, contact me and start your English course today! I'm looking forward to helping you learn English!
