My teaching is all about making English learning enjoyable, practical, and confidence-building. I focus on creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning at their own pace. I combine clear explanations of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation with interactive exercises, conversation practice, real-life examples, storytelling, and fun activities that make lessons dynamic and memorable. I like to bring creativity into my lessons, whether through songs, videos, articles, current events, or role-plays, to make English relevant and engaging. I believe that learning a language works best when students can see how it connects to their own lives and interests.
I have experience as a volunteer English tutor for disadvantaged children, which taught me patience, empathy, and the ability to adapt lessons to each child’s individual needs. During and after COVID, I also worked as a private tutor, supporting students of all ages with grammar, reading, writing, speaking, and exam preparation. These experiences helped me develop a flexible teaching style, allowing me to meet each student where they are and turn challenges into achievable goals. I take pride in creating lessons that are not only educational but also motivating and inspiring.
In addition to my practical experience, I hold a C1-level English certificate, passed the TOEFL exam, and completed my university studies entirely in English. This has given me strong academic language skills, a deep understanding of grammar and vocabulary, and the ability to help students prepare for exams or improve their academic writing. I enjoy sharing this knowledge in a way that is clear, relatable, and accessible, whether a student is aiming to improve daily communication, conversational skills, or formal English proficiency.
My teaching philosophy is centered around patience, empathy, and personalization. I make every lesson tailored to the student’s goals, interests, and learning style. I aim to make lessons interactive, enjoyable, and full of small successes that build confidence over time. I love celebrating progress, no matter how small, and helping students feel proud of what they achieve. For me, teaching English is not just about rules and vocabulary, it’s about empowering students to communicate, express themselves, and enjoy the process of learning a new language.
I believe that every student can improve and that lessons should be a positive, safe, and exciting experience. My approach combines structure with flexibility, academic rigor with fun activities, and guidance with encouragement. I strive to create an atmosphere where students feel motivated to participate, ask questions, and explore the language in meaningful ways. Seeing students gain confidence, express themselves clearly, and reach their goals is the most rewarding part of teaching, and I aim to make every lesson inspiring, practical, and memorable.
