Hello! I have space in my schedule for a few more students (A2-C2). Request a session soon! I’m a native speaker of English from the state of New York in the USA. I've worked as a teacher and editor/proofreader for over ten years. I've lived and worked in several countries. Most of the time was in countries where Russian is spoken (Eastern Europe and Central Asia), so I understand the Russian language and the cultures of the regions where people speak Russian. I love learning, teaching, and helping others learn and develop. As a teacher, I am optimistic, patient, understanding and try to have a good sense of humor. I also have high expectations and challenge my students to do their best. I teach students (age 12 and up) from pre-intermediate to advanced levels (A2-C2), and students who speak Russian starting from A1 level. My teaching philosophy is student-centered and focused on your goals. From the first lesson, we will focus on your goals, and we will make a plan to help you reach these goals. If you have any questions, send me a message. I have two types of students: regular students and irregular students. Regular students must have a minimum of one lesson a week. They can book lessons anytime, and should book lessons more than a week in the future to make sure they get the time/date they want for the next week. I also take irregular students, but these students can't request lessons more than a week in the future. "The best time to plant a tree (or learn a language) was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Adapted proverb

IELTS, TOEFL, and General Conversation I was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City. I earned a B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing from The University of Wisconsin- Madison. For over a decade I worked in the New York Television and Film Industry. My hobbies include watching television and film, reading, cycling, hiking, and traveling. For over a decade I have taught students of all ages and levels. My experience includes, but is not limited to, working as an IELTS teacher in Vietnam, a Conversational English Tutor at The University of Wisconsin- Madison, a New York Public School Substitute Teacher, and a Remedial Grammar teacher at a New York Community College. I believe the student should speak for about 75% of the class time. I genuinely enjoy improving my students' pronunciation. If necessary, I break down the words and syllables to the smallest sounds, so that the students know exactly what they need to improve. I do NOT teach Bu$iness English.
