When it comes to learning English it is CRUCIAL that you find the most suitable teacher for yourself. It can be a young person, an older one, from any nationality - the MOST important step is for you to know what you want. In my opinion, it is really important that you have a great connection with your teacher. To be honest, I am friends with all of my students, as I feel that it makes it much easier for me to assist them on their journey like that. :) I am sure that you will be able to see whether you like someone or not, after a 10-minute conversation. It makes a huge difference when you have lessons with someone who makes you feel calm, makes you feel less stress and motivated. Before starting to work together, I always like to set a goal, an objective. It is really important to know what you would like to achieve. It's easier for me - because I can assist you in the most effective way; and it's easier for you because you can check your progress on the way. What I ask from all of my students is NOT to be afraid to ask me while we are having the lessons. I am also available to answer any doubts regarding your homework and I will do my best to give you positive feedback every chance I get. However, you also have a task! :) As our success depends on both of us we need to work in harmony. I would like to keep you motivated, and I will do my best not to bore you, but to keep your interest, and YOU will have to do your part. Learning can be an enjoyable and FUN process, but it does take some effort. I would like to ask you to do your homework, take notes if you learnt something new and most of all: ASK! Never stop yourself from asking a question, just because you think it's silly....never! :) There is no stupid question, only the ones never asked! ;)
