About Me

As a native Latvian and Russian speaker, born bilingual, I bring a deep understanding of both languages and cultures to my teaching. With a background in English language teaching and study skills, I have experience in developing engaging, learner-centered lessons that emphasize practical language skills for adult learners. I believe that language learning opens doors to new perspectives and understanding, which is why I’m passionate about teaching Latvian and Russian to others.

Me as a Teacher

My teaching approach is grounded in building a supportive, inclusive environment where students feel comfortable experimenting with language. I incorporate visuals, audio aids, and interactive methods to make lessons engaging and adaptable to diverse learning styles. Drawing on my experience as an ESOL tutor, I know how to tailor lessons to meet each learner's unique needs. I value collaboration and encourage active participation, helping students develop confidence and fluency in their target language (adult learners only).

My lessons & teaching style

In my lessons, I focus on developing practical language skills through real-life scenarios and conversations, as I believe immersion is key to effective language learning. My lessons are structured yet flexible, allowing students to work at their own pace while being challenged with new vocabulary, grammar, and cultural insights. I integrate technology and multimedia resources to make learning interactive and enjoyable, aiming to create a holistic learning experience that goes beyond textbooks.

I had an excellent trial lesson with Gita, setting a clear idea of my learning objectives and also learning some new words and phrases that I can already start using.

Gita is an amazing Latvian teacher. She specializes each lesson for me while also using official state teaching materials to teach vocabulary and grammar.
