I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher as well as a doctor of psychology with 20 years of teaching experience at UK universities. I also have extensive experience of public speaking, writing and workshop facilitation in corporate & community settings in the UK.
I specialise in academic mentoring and teaching English for academic and business purposes, including IELTS/FCE/CAE test preparation, taking a very personalised approach.
Over the years I have helped many students and professionals from different disciplines improve their academic and business writing and presenting skills, and create powerful personal statements for job applications. I would love to see how I can help you!Che tipo di insegnante sono
My aim is to boost your speaking confidence, refine accuracy and fluency, and immerse you in the spirit of the language. Utilising my academic and business expertise, along with personal experience, I'll help you communicate effectively when studying or working in an English-speaking setting.
While I offer structured A1-C1 courses and conversational practice, I also mentor students and professionals in fields like social & life sciences, medicine, marketing, engineering, and finance, providing vital language and critical thinking support.
Specialising in writing and presentation skills, I empower both non-native and native English speakers to excel in academic and business communication.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
During your first lesson, we'll discuss your goals and set learning objectives. We'll then follow a programme of learning using textbooks, video/audio materials, news articles & other resources.
The most important thing to know before taking lessons with me is that you shouldn't worry about making mistakes - that's the only way to learn!
For comprehensive academic and business communication support, we'll collaborate on your essays, research papers, proposals, reports, presentations, personal statements, CVs and interview materials to meet the specific requirements of your study or work.
If you are preparing for IELTS & other formal assessments, I'll tailor the curriculum to your needs.Il mio materiale didattico

Certificati
CELTA - Cambridge Assessment - 2019
Certificato verificato
CELTA - Cambridge Assessment - 2019I was first introduced to the IELTS Masterclass textbook during my CELTA teacher training when I worked with a group of IELTS preparation students, and this is the programme I now follow with all my IELTS students. Additionally, having worked as a university lecturer and tutor for over 20 years and having marked hundreds of student essays, research reports and dissertations, I'm probably better qualified than most TEFL/TESOL teachers to prepare students for the writing part of the IELTS exam.
Certificato verificato
PhD in Experimental Psychology - University of Sussex - 2005As a psychopharmacologist and research methods expert, I've worked on several medical research projects, both as an employee at University College London Hospital (a research project on prenatal genetic testing; 2010 - 2012 - I can provide the employment contract) and as a freelance research consultant (I can provide a list of relevant medical publications under my name).
Attached is my PhD certificate, but please let me know what else you need to confirm my ability to teach medical English

La scelta dell'insegnante
Jelena is amazing. The lessons with her are highly professional and efficient and she is a very sympathetic person. She helped me with the preparation for the Viva for my PhD dissertation, which will be in English, which is not my native language. In this, Jelena has been of great help to me both in linguistic and scientific matters. So in her I found an English teacher and a science coach in one person.
Many thanks for all your help and support, Jelena. I'm very grateful.
