Shelby Figlinski

As a native English speaker based in Berlin, I offer structured and goal-oriented English lessons for children, students, and adults. I provide both online and in-person sessions and adapt each lesson to the individual needs, level, and objectives of my students.
My background includes professional training and leadership experience, where I worked in structured learning environments and supported adult development. This experience allows me to create organized lesson plans with clear objectives, measurable progress, and practical application. I focus not only on grammar and vocabulary, but also on building confidence and real-world communication skills.
Each lesson typically includes a warm-up conversation, focused skill development (such as grammar, pronunciation, business English, or exam preparation), guided practice, and active speaking exercises. I believe students learn best by using the language, so I encourage structured conversation, role-playing, reading comprehension, and writing practice depending on the student’s goals.
For children and younger students, I incorporate interactive activities and structured exercises to maintain engagement and build foundational skills. For teenagers, I provide homework support, exam preparation, and essay feedback. For adults and professionals, I focus on practical communication such as interviews, presentations, meetings, email writing, and workplace vocabulary.
My teaching style is supportive, patient, and structured. I provide clear feedback, highlight areas for improvement, and create a learning plan so students can see their progress over time. My goal is to make learning English practical, effective, and confidence-building.
I look forward to helping you achieve your English language goals.
