About Me
italki teacher since Oct 17, 2019Me as a Teacher
I received my CELTA around January 2018 and started working as a TEFL teacher in Moscow later that year. I have also taught IELTS and GRE prep classes in addition to regular TEFL teaching, and was very proud of the progress which I saw in all of my students. I hope that we can work together to achieve similar progress for you!My lessons & teaching style
I try to focus on getting as much active speech production out of my students as I can, as the latest research on second language acquisition shows that productive skills are much more important than receptive skills when learning a second language. However, I am flexible and can cater our lessons to your desires, learning style, and goals.
Notice about cancellations: As a courtesy, I let you cancel once within a 24 hour period without losing your money. After that, no more. If you don't show up on time, I wait for 15 minutes to see if you do show up, and then go do something else.My teaching material

I have just completed my first full lesson "General English" with Gerad. It was really efficient. We practiced speaking and reading, I improved my vocabulary. Gerad is a pleasant person and skilled teacher, who can make the lesson interesting for a particular student. In addition, for Russian students it is helpful and convinient, that Gerad speaks Russian and has the Russian experience.

Thanks for the lessons, Gerad, I really enjoy it! And this is so good that you urge me to speak as much as possible, though it is not always easy for me. It helps me build my confidence about speaking.

The lesson proceeded in a cold and formal atmosphere. In the end, I received an honest assessment of my English proficiency, but the feedback could have been more positive and encouraging. I am aware that I speak poorly; that's why I want to learn. After the lesson, I felt upset and demotivated. Smoking during the lesson is not cool.
