Hello, dear friends! My name is Ilona. I am a professional teacher of English and Russian as foreign languages. You can choose your lesson language by pushing the light turquoise button "Russian" below.
I was born in Latvia, which used to be a part of the USSR, so, it is not a big surprise that Russian is my mother tongue. I will be happy to guide you through the labyrinth of Russian language if you dare.
I have been teaching English for more than 20 years. My students succeeded in Business English, General English and Exams Preparation. You are welcome to use my knowledge to achieve your goals.
If you are ready to start, I am here for you!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching adults and children (3-18), groups and individuals, Business English, General English and Preparation for the Exams for more than 20 years.
I never stop developing:

My lessons are aimed to your needs and results .
I prefer using target language during the lessons, but if you need explanations, I would find the easiest way.
My lessons have some plan. Still, I am quite flexible if it is needed.
Instant Tutoring could have
- conversations,
- role-plays,
- discussions (ex.video),
- consultations (ex.Grammar),
- pronunciation corrections (ex. reading a text),
- help with your HW and much more.
Professional Courses either have their own plan and course book or they could be tailored according to your needs.
These lessons help you to improve your

Очень рада, что смогла найти такого преподавателя английского языка как Илона. Материал, подобранный Илоной, подошел моему уровню. Я смогла подтянуть косвенную речь, вопросы, прошедшее время. Спасибо!
