About Me
italki teacher since Nov 8, 2016Interest topicGamingFilms & TV SeriesMusic
Hello and welcome to my profile!
Please note that I'm going to raise my rates by a bit effective on 15 October. Thank you for your understanding.
Feel free to have a look at my timetable and book a lesson with me. Please note that weekends and evening hours (UTC +1) are usually busier than the rest of the day, so it's a good idea to book early. I do full 60 and 90-minute lessons, so if you see a couple of back-to-back lessons in the timetable (e.g. at 5 and 6 pm), I won't be able to accept your request just before or after them (e.g. at 4 or 7 pm).Me as a Teacher
