I am CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) certified English tutor. I have three great passions in my life – languages, beach volleyball and travelling! I started teaching English on a professional level four years ago, because I wanted to do something really valuable for people. Something that would help them in their lives and bring the positive change. I really love teaching and I love seeing the progress of my learners. During our lessons we work on: - listening and speaking skills (we watch video material, discuss it, do the excersises and learn the social phrases); - reading, discussion, argumentation and skills of presentation (depending on the level of the student and their interests); - grammar (of course! :)) – focus on form and meaning + controlled practice; - vocabulary (in interesting context); - freer practice, using techniques of switching from focused mode to diffused mode of thinking; - to memorise the vocabulary we use the Memory Palace technique; - visualisation, associations and other effective mental techniques to make the progress faster and the learning process more fun! As far as I have 20 years of business background, I am happy to provide business English classes as well. Having bachelor degree in English Philology I help students to improve their academic English. Welcome to my academic English classes. For the lessons you need: - internet connection; - computer; - motivation; - positive mood and smile! :) - willingness to learn English and to improve your quality of life. I am learning languages myself, so I really know what it takes to learn a new language or to work on its improvements. I am learning Spanish at the moment. I keep the context of the lessons in the scope of my student's individual interests. For example, if you are interested in travelling, we speak about countries, languages, history and the most interesting places to visit. If you are interested in technologies, we discuss the latest tendencies in artificial intelligence, robotics, bio-technologies and other breaking technologies and how they are going to change the world. We read books and make debates! :) I accept students from 11 years (not younger). Welcome to my lessons! Yours, Christina
