English as a Foreign Language for Adults and Kids, all levels

A philologist with MPhil degree from Cambridge University and PhD from the Russian University of Humanities, I have been teaching Russian and English, as well as humanities, since the early 2000s, both offline (at the time it was the only way!) and online. Background in journalism and wide international experience I lived and worked in India and in the United States before moving to the UK have helped me to familiarize with different educational systems and taught me how to work with people of various backgrounds, cultures and interests.
Working with both adults and children, I am always looking for ways to arouse students' interest in a subject and encourage them to ask questions. Each student has unique needs, so all my classes are tailored, and I am doing my best to make our joint learning adventure as exciting as possible.
I am eternally grateful to my own school and university teachers, as well as to private tutors. Without them my dreams about Cambridge University, traveling the world and having all those experiences that I have now would remain only dreams. Every time when my students thank me for helping them to achieve their learning goals, I feel that my own teachers, many of whom are already not with us, are smiling. This is the best thing about this job.

Collision of two worlds: French &/or English tutoring
I specialise in tutoring French and/or English for school just as well for higher education levels or different age groups. As a native speaker in both languages and as a linguaphile who took interest in learning other languages such as Spanish and Arabic, I am aware of the struggles that might come with attempting to learn a new language. For my students, I would start off by evaluating where they are at in terms of their level of speaking just as well as writing, in order to know what to work on and what they've already mastered. I would provide homework, just as well as challenges to place them in real life situations where they would have to use their skills and knowledge. In addition to this, providing a feedback on what they've accomplished, what needs further improvement and work.

English Grammar in everyday life: The Present Perfect
This class will help you understand when and how to use it correctly in real-life conversations. You will learn how to: ✅ Talk about past experiences without a specific time (e.g., "I have visited Paris.") ✅ Describe life achievements and ongoing situations (e.g., "I have worked here for five years.") ✅ Understand the difference between Present Perfect and Past Simple ✅ Use common time expressions like already, yet, just, ever, never, for, and since Through interactive exercises and speaking practice, you'll gain confidence using the Present Perfect in professional and everyday situations. Ideal for intermediate learners who want to improve their fluency!
