Academic English: Tutoring and Essay/Thesis Support

From 26 € /h

Hi there!
Warm welcome to my English course :) Having around 6 years teaching English as a second language, especially Academic Writing and English for IELTS, I understand how challenging it can be to take up a new language.

With my solid background in Education (earned from Vietnam and Finland) and mentioned experience, I hope to provide you with customized support so that you can learn at your own style and speed to acquire academic English properly. Moreover, with regard to your learning goal, I can help you acquire basic skills needed for taking the IELTS Writing exam. As a test-taker myself for several times, I'm willing to share tips with you so that you can gain better score from this challenging language test :)

Another highlight of this course is the support with correcting/polishing your academic essay/thesis. I intend to offer you not only simple corrections but also detailed feedback and instructions so that you can learn from your writing mistakes and know how to later fine-tune the writings yourself. To sum up, lessons can be tailored flexibly according to learners' request! So don't hesitate to contact me for further discussion!

In this class, I will help you with writing in English at an academic level. This can be writing essays, refining your grammar and expanding your vocabulary, understanding academic texts, and more. It can be hard to transition to studying in English, particularly at the University level. With this class we make that transition easier, and make sure that language is not holding you back in class, essays or exams!

I can also help with studying in English at school or college as well as at university.

Hi, I'm Elizaveta!

I'll help you learn to speak English confidently and without stress — step by step, in a warm and supportive atmosphere.

For over 5 years, I have been teaching foreign languages, and my greatest joy is seeing my students improve and gain confidence in communication.

Many years ago, I went through the journey of learning English myself, so I fully understand the challenges that learners may face. I know how to overcome them and make the learning process more natural and enjoyable.

My lessons are highly personalized, but mainly conversational and interactive. Through engaging discussions, we expand vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and learn grammar through real-life practice. I also help students prepare for exams and help them with creative writing practices.

I am an artist, writer and a passionate explorer of different cultures, routines and perspectives which is why my lessons are filled with openness, empathy, and inspiring conversations. I create a space where you can feel comfortable, learn by making mistakes without fear, and develop at your own pace.

Are you hoping to land an interview at a big American company, but you're worried about xenophobia? Well I was born on a farm in Iowa and even I'm afraid of xenophobia from my own countrymen. American culture has shifted recently and they can hear a foreigner a mile away; they also have no idea where your country is. If you want to apply for one of those huge American salaries, or if you just want to stop getting interrogated by your coworkers about the magical land you hail from, I'll teach you a flatter accent and some American ways of speaking.

We'll have a conversation every lesson about whatever you like, with pauses every time a non-American accent comes through to discuss speech techniques, slang terms, and nonverbal body language. How you hold yourself and the tone of your speech is incredibly important in American culture, and we'll work together on developing your professional language.
