Обо мне:
— Жил и учился в США — в штатах Орегон и Айдахо.
— Преподаю уже более 5 лет.
— Высшее лингвистическое образование (НИУ ВШЭ Москва).
— Широкая география учеников: Россия, Франция, Испания, Таиланд, ОАЭ, Коста-Рика, Молдова.
О моих принципах работы:
— Во время занятий уделяю внимание интересам каждого ученика. Увлекаюсь всем на свете, слежу за современными трендами языка.
— Стараюсь установить контакт с учеником на личном уровне.
— Большое внимание оказываю коммуникативной компетенции как самому важному аспекту владения языком. Для меня важно, чтобы ученик был уверен в себе и не боялся говорить. Также упор делаю на грамматику и фонетику.
— Перед началом занятий провожу беседу с учеником или родителями ученика для определения цели и уровня знаний ученика. Подбираю материалы индивидуально или работаю с уже составленной программой (школьной, подготовка к различным языковым экзаменам).
I am a graduate of Higher School of Economics majoring in Linguistics and Foreign Language Teaching.
I have been studying English for all my life as long as I can remember. Teaching attracts me with the possibility of transferring knowledge, teaching people something new. During the lessons, I try to fulfil the needs of every student individually, to pay attention to what will be of interest, to build a lesson around the student's hobbies and learning goals. I am fond of everything in the world and also follow the modern trends of the language, so I can keep any conversation going.
Adhere to unorthodox teaching methods (with me you won't be bored like in school). In an individual approach, I try to establish contact with the student on a personal and emotional level. In my opinion, this avoids problems of a psychological nature in communication. The biggest compliment for a teacher is the student's attention and personal interest in the process.
I pay the greatest attention to communicative competence as the most important aspect of language proficiency. It is important for me that the student is self-confident and not afraid to speak. I also focus on grammar and phonetics. Before starting intensive classes on any programme, I have a conversation with the student or the student's parents to determine goals and level of knowledge of the student. It is important that the goals are clear, because awareness is one of the main components of a successful lesson. I also note that I select materials individually for each or work with an already compiled programme (school, preparation for various language exams).
I am ready to work both with the student's educational materials and provide my own.
I will be glad if you become my student!
