Hello dear students! My name is Tamara and I am a native speaker of English and German, having grown up in bilingual in England. After studying in Germany the last few years, I am also a graduate in Philosophy and Middle Eastern Studies. From studying French and Arabic, I know how hard it can be to learn a language. I’ve come to believe that communication, rather than rote learning, should be at the centre of any language journey, and that both enjoyment and effective learning strategies are essential for mastery. All of this I hope to impart in our lessons.

I had more than twenty editing sessions with Tamara over the last few months, and she is simply the best! I was working on a special project and needed some professional support with English editing. Tamara is a confident and patient collaborator who knows what makes a first class essay. She is always focused on the details like word choice and sentence structure as well as on the big picture that we were trying to coherently tell. If you are looking for someone who will dissect every word, comma and period to ensure that each sentence is as powerful as it can be then Tamara is the right person for you. She went above and beyond what I expected anyone could do to support me. Thank you, Tamara! I hope to connect with you soon. Warmly, Dasha

Tamara is a wonderful teacher. She proofreads my scripts and articles in German and English. I'm very happy working with her, because she doesn't only review my writings, but she also asks very interesting and deep questions, and gives feedback. She is involved in the process, as she is writing a lot by herself. She is helping me to do my work better. I am very grateful for that and would highly recommend her.

I had a very enjoyable and interesting hourlong conversation with Tamara to practice my German. She is careful to point out mistakes when they pop up, without interrupting the flow of conversation. Tamara speaks beautiful, clear German, and has a true love of language in its finer forms. It is evident from our conversation that she is very interested in the various approaches people follow to learn a new language. Until next time Tamara!

I highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking to move beyond basic fluency and achieve mastery in English. If you’re looking for a high-level, intellectually stimulating conversation to elevate your English skills, Tamara is an exceptional choice. Her sessions are perfectly tailored for advanced learners who want to refine their language in professional or academic contexts. Discussions with Tamara are engaging, thought-provoking, and often cover a range of high-profile topics, making the lessons both relevant and enriching. She has a knack for challenging your critical thinking while ensuring your communication remains polished and articulate.

Tamara is very friendly and knowledgeable, she creates a positive and supportive atmosphere that allows me to feel comfortable even if I make mistakes, or don't know a word, or have questions about a particular topic. She explains things clearly and takes the time to answer my questions in detail. I look forward to our future lessons :)
