About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2018InterestsHistoryMusicFashion & BeautyFilms & TV SeriesArt
My name is Tamara. I love traveling, doing yoga, reading and listening to music. I have degrees in clinical psychology and international business, and am a certified yoga teacher. I used to live in Shanghai, and have traveled all over Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea, Ukraine, and Czech Republic. I’m currently living in the US.Me as a Teacher
I speak Russian and elementary Mandarin. I was raised with Russian as my native language, but I was raised in America. I can help you with business English, conversational English, IELTS, and preparing for interviews. I also enjoy covering a wide variety of topics according to your interests. I believe that learning should be fun - if it's fun, it's easier to remember!My lessons & teaching style
I can cover topics such as basic and conversational English (i.e. introductions, small talk, special interests, hobbies), business English (i.e. jobs, careers, talking to your boss), and cultural exchanges. I take the "practice-test-teach-review" approach. I require that if you’re a new student, please tell me about your English level, and what class topics you’re interested in. This helps me prepare a lesson that is beneficial for you, and a good use of your time.My teaching material

Очень приятно было познакомиться с Тамарой. Урок прошел очень комфортно. Тамара очень внимательный педагог. Любые сложные для меня ситуации оперативно разъясняла, прописывала, все корректировки и поправки моих ошибок очень тактичны. У меня не возникло ни разу чувство скованности и неуверенности, при том, что мой уровень Английского весьма невысок.
Педагог дала рекомендации по эффективности изучения языка, расписала дальнейший план уроков.
