About Me

Certified and Experienced English and Russian Tutor - To all New Students -
Hi there! My name is Marina, I’m an English teacher from Russia. I’m currently living in Ukraine, where I am teaching English/Russian online. I started teaching English/Russian professionally in 2000 shortly after graduating from University. I have my Master's degree in ESL Education, as well as a TESOL certificate (Arizona State University, 2018).

Why learn with me?

My lessons are really interesting, interactive and always designed to help your personal English/Russian needs and goals. So, if you would like to improve your pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, I welcome you to join my lessons and we can achieve your goals together.
I possess 17 years of corporate experience in the Finance, Banking, Technology and Construction industries (M.A. Building Engineering, B.A. in Accountancy)
My main areas of teaching are general English/Russian, Business English/ Russian, IELTS preparation, Russian Tests preparation, English for kids.
My areas of specialty are report writing/business and also presentations in English/Russian.
I enjoy developing a strong rapport with my students, combining dynamic and fun classes with a professional style. I will inspire you to succeed on your path to learning and improving your English/Russian whether it be for professional or personal use.

What factors can influence my progress?
– Frequency of lessons
Every lesson begins with a revision of material from previous lessons. The more often you take lessons, the better you remember the revised material and the less repetition you need. If you do less repetition, you have more time for new work and you progress faster.
– Connection quality
It’s very important that your tutors and you can hear each other clearly. Your tutor and you will speak simultaneously a lot of the time, so it’s important that there is no lag. If there are sound issues, your lessons will be less efficient and your progress will be slower.
– Exercises
Between lessons, you will be able to do Exercises that will help you revise on your own as well as practice spelling. If you do these exercises regularly, you will remember previous lessons better and needless repetition.

Hack your day for IELTS practice. IELTS Test Prep.

16 $ /h

I provide IELTS Online Training for both General and Academic modules. So, you can choose to train yourself according to your requirements.

It's easy to get an average 7 with 4 weeks of preparation provided my assumption is true. If you need a 7+ in writing, then it all comes down to your current quality of language. Without knowing your current quality it is difficult to predict the time frame.
IELTS is not perfect, but it is certainly not unfair. In fact, it is probably the best measure of a person’s English skills.
Do remember that 7 bands in every module is not a piece of cake, so start practicing from now on!
-------- Academic IELTS vs General Training IELTS------------
**** Which one is easier: the IELTS General or the IELTS Academic?
Both versions of the test have the same general format. Your English writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills will be tested separately no matter which version you take. In fact, there aren’t any differences between the listening and speaking sections at all. Both writing versions involve two writing tasks and both reading versions ask 40 questions in response to assigned readings. Differences begin to appear, however, in the nature of the content and task types.
Ultimately these tests really are 70% similar, and you won’t have a choice as to which format you sit for. So it’s probably better to figure out how hard the IELTS will be for you.

***** What is essential to score a high band?
Most of the students do well in their Listening, Reading and Speaking sessions but scoreless bands in the Writing section. This is due to a lack of sentence formation and also repeated use of the same words within an essay. I would like to add a point on grammar and vocabulary.
Where do you begin? A focused IELTS study plan will show you which areas to study and practice every day, gradually preparing you for test day.
----- IELTS study plan (reading, listening, writing, speaking)
----- The IELTS Writing. Modules test your ability to produce two quite different pieces of writing in a fairly short period of time. Before applying to sit the test, you need to decide whether to take the Academic or the General Training module. Each module is divided into two parts and you have only one hour to complete both pieces of writing.
----- IELTS Reading. Reading Techniques & Strategies.
------ IELTS Listening: Essential Skills and Strategies.
------ IELTS Speaking: IELTS mind map to organize and brainstorm your answer for the speaking

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.
