Über mich

As an English teacher, I've worked with Doras Luimní in Limerick, a non-profit working to support the rights of migrants in Ireland. With Doras, I developed and taught beginner English courses for migrants in which I had students from different backgrounds and different levels. I was in charge of curriculum development and worked with several students who were at the start of their literacy journeys. Before that, I worked at two different language schools - Berlitz Dublin and ELI in Limerick, where I prepared students for the TIE and IELTS exams, and taught all levels from Beginners (A1) to Advanced (C1-C2). I have also had private Business English students for the past three years.

In 2022, I completed a CELTA course at International House Dublin, receiving a Pass A - the highest distinction. My language competencies support my work too – I am fluent in Russian, French, English, and Dutch.

However, my work isn't only centred around language teaching. A key formative experience from my career included setting up and coordinating weekly creative workshops for Ukrainian children in Berlin partnered with a local non-profit. In 2024, I started facilitating the Irish World Music Café – a song-sharing circle attended primarily by Ukrainian refugees. Song Seeking, a programme that provides access to participatory music-making to temporary accommodation residents, has taken me to Direct Provision centres in surrounding counties in Ireland. Those settings have made me flexible, adaptable, and creative, and I take that work experience into my work as an English teacher too.

Prior to my work as a community musician and English teacher, I had acquired a BA in Songwriting from BIMM London, and completed an MA in Community Music, so I value creativity and culture and incorporate elements of arts practice in my teaching when appropriate.

However, apart from preparing students to take the IELTS, I also took the test myself in 2018, so I have experienced the stress and the pressure that comes with the preparation and the exam procedure. Together, we can work on building up your confidence and getting you to a place where you feel comfortable successfully taking the test!
