5+ Years of Online Tutoring: Patient Teacher - Professional Fluency Development & Interview Practice I have spent over 30 years of my life learning how to speak, listen, and teach effectively. Since childhood, I focused on a special program designed to make people excellent speakers and teachers. Some say it is equivalent to a Communications Major, that I can use for your benefit in our lessons together. I also have 5+ years of One-on-One online ESL teaching experience, focusing on using CELTA style techniques to help my students improve in our lessons. I am fluent in Russian and currently learning Turkish. I began learning Russian in 2016 in the USA. I was able to immerse myself in the language in Kharkiv, Ukraine for 2+ years beginning in 2019, where my wife is from. We have now been living in Turkey for 5+ years and enjoy traveling. My classroom will focus on you speaking or reading: -Speaking Clearly: We will work on accurate reading, correct pronunciation, and making sure your words are clearly spoken. -Natural Conversation: We will practice having a natural conversation manner, I most often do this by showing a natural interest in my students. -Professional Development: We can work on Presentations, Job Interviews and Essays. My Goals for You: My lessons are for students who want to *think in English* and make progress. My goal is to help you move forward every week. Whether you want to be better at work, school, or just talking with friends, we can improve in each lesson together! Book a trial lesson to find out why I've been called "a kinder Sheldon!"

Learn to speak with creative lessons: authentic materials + efficient progress + fun +deep thinking. I have seven years of experience teaching students of all ages. I am a successful language learner myself, so I understand the process and how to make it easier. My lessons include a mixture of hyper-focused work and fun. You will speak, speak, speak in every class! I believe that learning a language is as much about what you do outside of class as about what you do in class. To this end, I provide homework materials to work on outside of class, based on your needs and free time you can devote to English. This extra practice allows for more efficient lessons. I would describe myself as laid-back and serious at the same time. I like to have fun in lessons, but I also believe that we can get serious work done while laughing. I believe that the most important thing about learning a language is practice: Learning a language is a lot like exercise. To master it, you need targeted practice using language in context. My goal is for you to develop automatic fluency, where you can speak without pausing to think. My approach varies based on level and student needs. Lower-level students generally need more explicit grammar practice than higher-level students, whose classes often resemble a podcast conversation. At all levels, the goal is to master material to the point it becomes automatic: that way, when you need to use English, you can speak comfortably and without worrying about what to say next. Please choose Zoom as your lesson tool if possible, as it is my preferred platform.

For the past 10+ years I have been working as a translator, reviser, interpreter and language teacher. I have a Bachelor and Master level professional degree in translation and interpretation. My teaching experience is about 5 years – in private, in groups up to 20 people and online. I have various experience, but personally prefer helping beginners and intermediate language users to improve their skills, especially speaking, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The main focus is on: - Conversational practice and role-play - Real in-life use of new words and phrases with understanding the context - Overall understanding, listening and reading skills - Proper grammar and writing skills

Professionally teaching kids, teenagers and children with special needs. Creative, Efficient Lessons Unlike many teachers who try to teach everything to everyone, I focus only on my professional specialization: teaching children, teenagers, and students with special needs, including ADHD, autism, and low attention span. I believe that focus brings better results. I respect both the child’s time and the parents’ investment, so I make every minute of the lesson count. For this reason, I prefer efficient 30–60 minute classes. I do not rely on standard textbooks. Instead, I use my own carefully designed materials, videos, and original games that keep students engaged and motivated. My goal is not only to teach during lessons, but also to guide students toward independent learning.

I studied Linguistics (French and English) in Moscow and afterwards I did my Master's degree in Educational Sciences in Finland. I did an internship in Italy, where I taught Russian to Italian students at the University of Pavia, and I also did another internship in Spain for teaching English.

Swedish and English tutor I believe that one of the keys to teaching is providing a learning environment where the student feels comfortable making mistakes and being corrected. I myself have long been an anxious and perfectionist learner, so I really do my best to make my students feel safe and relaxed. My name is Johanna, and I have a MSc in Engineering Physics. What I enjoy most in life is learning—whether it's through reading, documentaries, meaningful conversations, sports, traveling, volunteering, or work. After earning my master's degree, I've relocated to Cairo, Egypt, where I'm experiencing firsthand what it's like to settle in a new country. Before becoming a teacher on italki, I have tutored teenagers in low-income areas in Stockholm, and I have also taught English to Palestinian children as a volunteer. Ever since I was in school, I've enjoyed supporting others in learning and understanding new concepts, and my own experience with learning languages as an adult includes becoming fluent in Russian and Arabic. My lessons focus mainly on speaking. I teach grammar and vocabulary through natural conversation, explaining concepts and providing examples as we go along. I adapt to each student’s goals and preferences—if you prefer a specific structure, for example, to focus more on grammar and practice it through exercises, I'm happy to provide that. During lessons, I send new words, phrases, and corrections in the chat, so that you can access them later.

In our classes, we can focus on your personal needs, for example, vocabulary, grammar, speaking skills, writing skills - literally, anything you need help with and anything you want to improve. During our first class, we will get to know each other, you will tell me how and where you studied English or Russian before, I will help you set a goal and I will work out a personalized study plan for you that we will follow. I’m convinced that speaking is the most important aspect of leaning a language, because initially we start learning a language in order to communicate with people, to get to know their culture so during our classes we will pay the most attention to the speaking part.
