About Me

Ladies and gentlemen! My dears! Welcome to Demi's world, the place that shines brightly on the artistic horizon. My dears, there is a place for everyone who is eager to improve their linguistic ability through a theatrical approach or simply keep improving their communicative skills. I am 32 at the moment and my major interests are Language, Myth, and Culture. I am a whole-soul admirer of theater, cinematography, literature, poetry, and fine arts. The main thing for me is questioning and that's where we start from. I have never stopped examining my experiences and sharing with them since it's an important part of language acquisition. I dwell on the small space between tragedy and comedy.
Me as a Teacher
Teaching is a brutal field as far as we know. However, that is already a reason to take a risk and immerse yourself right in it. I started to teach back in 2014 right after I got my philosophical degree and my eyes sparkled with the brightest ideas on how I can develop my performing skills and be of the most use for my disciples. I taught in a couple of countries all over the world, educating different age groups. It's always been challenging, albeit I am always willing to improve.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are just like the flow of the river, like a good novel that takes you on a life adventure and grasps your attention towards details. I totally adore working with improvisation and surrealism, imagination, and spontaneity. This is the core of the language for me. It is a poetic approach towards the language and its usage in your life, it is living the language and living in the language that allows you to describe this enigmatic world around you. During our classes, I am a midwife that helps you to give birth to a Thought and to a Word with which the thought is described. I also use a lot of theatrical exercises in order to train your imagination and stir up your curiosity.My teaching material

It was a great class! Before the class I was a bit nervous because I feared that I couldn't say much, but Demi managed to get me talking and gain confidence to use what I know. I learnt some very useful words and structures today, which I can immediately put into practice. Demi speaks clearly and just in the right speed, so I could understand him perfectly and enjoy our talk. Thanks a lot, Demi! See you soon!

This kind of class I like the most. I've had possibility to learn something new as well as to have a lot of reflections about a life and my some experiences. It's great when I can analyze not only the grammar structures but also philosophic and socjologic topics. This kind of classes develop me on many areas :) Thank you very much.
