English as a second language for teenagers and adults

From 34.21 $ /h

I have been teaching at school and through Skype since 2006. More than 3000 of my students successfully passed exams, found new job in foreign countries, were promoted due to a new language skill acquired. I have taught students all over the world - Georgia to New Zealand, the Maldives to Russia.
I have always striven hard to keep my classes as interesting thus effective as possible. Understanding the age group of the students, I try to incorporate fun in my classes, which keeps the interest of students alive, and inspires them to take initiatives. Taking into consideration adults’ audience and nuances of work with them, I have acquired an excellent experience in this sphere.
