Ekaterina Gritsan

Fantastic tutor! I really like the way she explains things!

She always spends extra free time with me at the end if we have not finished the lesson. That way we do not end abruptly and with missing information. She also prepares me well for the homework assignments, which are not too easy and not too hard. They are perfect, and I feel prepared.

Serious and competent. I am very pleased with her teaching style.

I enjoy all the different ways that we go through my lessons. I like the sequence of the parts of the lesson. For example, in today's lesson, first we went over what I did for homework and answered any questions that I had. Then Ekaterina introduced me to a new reading passage. She went over the words that I was not familiar with. Then I read the story aloud to her. I translated each sentence with her help. Afterwards, she asked me to describe something in my life that was related to the story. Ekaterina is very professional and patient, always on time, consistently prepared and organized, and make the lessons enjoyable!

Ekaterina is always prepared for every lesson. Moreover, I never have to wait for you. When I join the lesson, she is consistently waiting patiently, asks me how I am, and is ready to start the lesson!

Katerina is always able to push me a little more than I would push myself. However, she does not do it in a way that makes me want to stop. She does it gently and gives me much positive feedback and encouragement. And she is willing to let me choose what to do in the lesson if I have something that I want to learn or review. She is very flexible. Moreover, I am used to teachers who stop at the end of the time, even if it's mid-sentence. She never does that. If we need to spend extra minutes finish the topic, she is always willing to stay online with me!
