Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 25 Mar 2020InterestsReizenReadingFoodSciencePets & Animals
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!Ik als leerkracht
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 courses (A1-C1) and conversational practice, my focus is on mentoring college/university students and professionals in various fields - medicine, social and life sciences, marketing, engineering, HR, finance, and others.
Specialising in writing and presentation skills, I empower both non-native and native English speakers to excel in academic and business communication.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
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.Mijn lesmateriaal

Having received assistance from various college resources and tutors on campus, as well as reviewing help online, I must say that my experience with Dr J has been exceptional.

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.

Dr. J is the best teacher I’ve encountered on italki. I truly appreciate her not only for the knowledge I've gained but also for the influence she's had on my future career. I have enjoyed every class with her. Her professionalism and dedication to her students are remarkable. As someone with no prior research experience, I've made significant progress under her guidance. Dr. J genuinely cares about each student, always approachable and supportive. Her lessons are well-structured and focused; every word she shares is valuable and relevant, helping me clearly understand how to improve. Thank you for your guidance, and I hope to continue learning from you!
