Hello everyone! :)
My name is Andrea, I'm a 30-year-old native speaker of Slovak and I'd love to be your English teacher! I myself have learnt English as a second language. I fell in love with the sound of it in primary school and later went on to university to do a degree in translation and interpreting. I also study Japanese which I'd like to add to my working languages one day. My hobbies are reading (I am a huge Harry Potter fan), languages (I study Japanese for about 2 hours every day), music (I play several musical instruments) and travelling. The furthest I've been so far is Japan and I LOVED it! I'd love to learn more about various cultures through teaching on italki! :)
Ich als Lehrkraft
I taught English in a language school in Slovakia for about 7 years and I loved it, but eventually, I decided to teach students privately instead. I have experience with teaching various ages (2 to 60), levels (beginner to advanced) as well as different types of lessons (individual students, company courses, group courses). I'm also a speaking examiner for the Cambridge FCE, CAE, CPE and YLE exams (young learners). Therefore, I know exactly what you need to pass the speaking parts of these exams with flying colours! :) I can also help you with grammar, since I've done English linguistics as part of my university studies, so if you're struggling with something, don't hesitate to ask! :)
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
In Slovakia, language lessons at state schools are often incredibly boring - students are repeatedly forced to memorise vocabulary and they never actually learn to speak the language. Having learnt English this way for about 12 years, I decided to do it differently! I think the best way to learn a language is through conversation, but I also understand that you can't always avoid stuff like grammar and vocabulary. Even then, why should it be boring?! In my lessons, I like giving students many examples of grammar/vocabulary usage they struggle with until they understand it. I also like giving my students hints and letting them figure out the meaning/grammatical rules for themselves.

This lesson was one of the best lessons I've ever had!! Andrea is so kind and patient! She's ready to answer any question. I felt like I was talking to a friend! Moreover, she is very competent, and her English is great! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to ace their exams!!!!

I've had a great time with Andrea. I asked her some information about my upcoming Celta course and she was informative and supportive. I think she is a very good teacher!

Good listener, good guider, all hearts in and every moment counts in each lesson. Good teachers are not majority but everywhere. But teacher good like Andrea, I only met two, this kind of responsibility and think all about the students, and the other one is my daughter’s science teacher. So lucky❤️
