About Me

Hello,

My name is Jordy and I'm 30 years old. I am a medical student with a background in international business and have 6 years of experience in teaching.

After passing the admission test for medical school (a national exam counting over 7000 participants every year, and only a small fraction succeeding) I decided to help others prepare for this difficult exam by teaching them the content, helping with the structure and overall demistifying this scary-looking challenge. It soon became a passion of mine to help, teach and coach others through academic ''boogeymen'', because I believe everyone can achieve what I have with the right preparation and attitude.

As someone who has been in the position of ''doubtful student'' before, it would be my pleasure to help you achieve your academic goals and build your confidence along the way. Contact me for help with courses, exams, and study planning.

Education

- Medicine
Having obtained credits in courses such as histology, microbiology, anatomy, genetics and biochemistry, I feel comfortable in teaching courses like biology at a deeper level.

Passed the admission exam for dentistry and medical school, a test based on the final years of science-heavy high school forms (6-8 hours of math/4+ physics, chemistry and biology).

The possibilities vary from simple lessons about basic concepts all the way to the topics needed to pass ''end exams'' like the SAT, GCSE, MCAT and International Baccalaureate.

In this course I will prepare you for the IMAT (Italian medical admission test) which happens every year and is the only way to get access to the English language medicine programme in public universities in Italy.

I will help you with the four scientific disciplines (math, physics, biology, chemistry) as well as the critical reasoning and general knowledge aspect. I will also prepare you with real-life exam scenarios in order to get used to the time limit and other constraints.

My students start speaking in 3 months! This is all thanks to the communicative method I use during lessons (I speak 30-40%, I listen 70-60%). Not only do they memorize new vocabulary and grammar better, but they learn to construct sentences independently from the very first lessons, and subsequently, to converse with confidence.

I teach: English, Spanish, and Russian.

- Communicate with native speakers
- Prepare for exams (Russian state exams, IELTS, certifications)
- Participate in the Language Olympiad and win prizes
- Improve your academic performance
- Prepare for university admission in Russia or abroad
- Travel without language barriers
- Improve your professional performance in international companies

In our lessons, we’ll go beyond grammar and vocabulary together: you’ll get to know the culture, history, and real face of modern Russian society. My goal is to make the language come alive so that you can not only speak it but also feel it.
My teaching method is based on a personalized approach: every student is unique! That’s why I tailor each class to your individual goals and ensure that we can achieve them together – quickly and effectively!

I take into account your learning style and type of intelligence: some are interested in grammar in its almost mathematical form, others learn best through spontaneous conversation and cultural context, while some are very visual... Together, we’ll find the approach that makes learning the most enjoyable and effective.
I believe that learning a language is a personal journey, and I’m here to help you on yours!
