Hello there! My name is Laura and I'm a TEFL certified tutor looking for students who are interested in learning the English language in a non-traditional manner :) Although I am learning both Russian and Swedish, I am currently only looking for a Swedish language partner. I have been learning Russian for a few years and I take my studies very seriously. Soon I will be starting to learn Swedish using italki :) Besides tutoring, I spend most of my time hula hooping and belly dancing! I plan on tutoring full time on italki/skype and use the money I earn to travel the world and experience different cultures.

Лора, спасибо большое :)! Я помню, перед первым уроком ты мне написала хорошее сообщение о том, что ты хочешь получить в результате наших уроков... Это очень помогает! Если я знаю твою цель, я могу найти средства (способы) достичь её!

    When improving your listening skills it's very important to never translate what you hear into your native language. And remember - you won't always understand every word spoken and that's okay. Try to learn vocabulary in context and not just word for word. You need to listen every day and get used to the rhythm and sound of English. Every language has its own rhythm. Make sure you're interested in the content otherwise you will get bored. Keep it fun! To improve your writing, I think it would be helpful for you to read a lot. Read every day in English. Books, blogs, news, etc. - it needs to interest you and hold your attention. Then practice writing every day on italki (so that we can give you feedback). Hope this helps!

    Study every day, even if it's only for a few minutes. Make sure that you're using materials that keep you interested and hold your attention - if you're not interested in the material, you'll get bored and quit. 

     

    If you only need English for school and aren't personally interested in learning it, then find a tutor on italki that can help you on those specific topics you need. 

     

    Hope this helps a little!
