English as a Second Language or Russian as a Second Language

I have been working as an English tutor for over three years now, and I have been consistently successful at achieving short and long term goals set forth by individuals and groups. I believe learning should be fun and enjoyable! My teaching approach is adapted to suit the age, ability, aims and interests of the individual student. I use a variety of resources, including games, videos, songs, exercises, flashcards, conversations and many more.

About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Polly, and I am a dedicated instructor and motivator who will accompany you on your journey to the world of the English language.

Having graduated from the philology department of St Petersburg State University with honours, I have a strong basis in this study area: the curriculum in Intercultural Communication (majoring in the English language) allowed me to scrutinise every aspect of the tongue and further strengthened my love for it.

The desire to share my love for English inspired me to start working as a tutor when I was a second year student. I immediately realised that this was what I want to dedicate myself to. I could say that my job is also my main hobby: I love teaching and, hence, I am genuinely invested in what I am doing. Seeing one of my students have a “light bulb moment” is one of the greatest feelings a tutor can have, so I am doing my best to witness as many of them as possible. My life revolves around languages, I enjoy learning all their ins-and-outs, and I want my students to immerse themselves into English, too.

Education

BA in English Linguistics (Intercultural Communication) Saint Petersburg State University '20
MA in Linguistics (English-Speaking Culture) University of Bremen '23

Experience / Qualifications

The desire to share my love for English inspired me to start working as a tutor when I was a second year student. I immediately realised that this was what I want to dedicate myself to. I could say that my job is also my main hobby: I love teaching and, hence, I am genuinely invested in what I am doing.
I provide English lessons for all ages, and at all levels (beginners – advanced). After an initial ‘consultation lesson’, you will be provided with a personalised learning scheme, based around your goals. I offer face-to-face lessons, as well as online lessons to fit in with busy lives. I bring both passion and expertise to help each student build their skills and confidence and thus achieve their goals!

Sereina
Tutoring and exam preparation Spanish and English
English and Spanish are world languages and more and more people of all ages are discovering the opportunities that come with learning these beautiful languages - especially traveling and getting to know other countries and cultures. English is a compulsory subject in all schools and at all levels, and Spanish is also offered as a core or elective subject in many high schools. I lived in a Spanish-speaking environment for several years (Mexico, Spain, Paraguay) and also began my first degree in Spanish language and literature at the University of Zurich. I took an IELTS diploma in English two years ago so that I could study in English. I love languages and I really enjoy teaching them to other people. As I majored in Spanish at high school, I know what knowledge is required at this level for the exams and especially the Matura.

After identifying your needs and objectives, we will work on the different skills to help you progress: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc. Whether you are a pupil, student or active, it is never too late!

Carmen
English, mathematics and general school support from Primary to High School
Using my experience as a student, I first teach the vocabulary that will later be memorized through different exercises, both written and oral. This is how grammar will also be implemented. We will try to liven up the classes with short videos and songs from time to time, as I think they are a good tool to improve oral comprehension. If parents prefer to focus on general school support, we will work on the most difficult subjects, trying to give some time to each one, in a pedagogical and calm way.
