I have been tutoring for more than 5 years. I focus on teaching English and Math. I prefer personalizing the class according to students' needs. Regarding mathematics, I had a lot of classes with secondary school children in order to help them to prepare for admission exam. I also enjoy teaching English. I have FCE and IELTS certificate. I lived in the US for 6 months and I was a teacher of English in the language school in Mexico last summer. I have very friendly attitude but at the same time I like to prepare some exercises/homework. Everything can be agreed! Just let me know.

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

I will make a personalized study plan for your goals, big or small, typical or unusual. I teach general English, and prepare students for TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, AP and other exams. However, I also love working with very specific requests, like preparing a person for a job on international trains, explaining the US university culture, understanding a book or learning to speak without an accent.

At my lessons, we play games, watch videos, chat, etc. I want to use things that you enjoy.

At 14, I left Russia to study in New York. Now I use English in professional academia in Amsterdam. I have taught teens and adults of all levels at an ESL school; now I give private/group online lessons.

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

English is the main language of the world; it is a language in which most people communicate with each other. Most podcasts, books, films and series are often made in this beautiful language. That is why it is very important nowadays to be able to speak and listen well in English. You really can't start studying English early enough. That's why I'm here for you, if you want to take your English to the next level - however young or old you are. In my lessons we will work with this important and special language as much as possible via webcam or at a location somewhere in Amsterdam or at your home; vocabulary, speaking skills, accents, interesting texts we will all go through and practice very well with me as a teacher so that you can also converse flawlessly in English!!

Learning languages are always more fun when involving an interaction based on personal interests! That's why I could take a more conventional approach to teaching but I prefer an interactive engaging type of class. We can start with basic daily life based conversations to delving into more detailed and specific contexts, to a level where any types of topics can be covered.
I would encourage students and myself to only converse in the language that is being taught. But I could still provide explanation and guidance in either Korean or English!
Please message me for further info!◡̈

Are you tired of understanding English but not being able to speak it confidently?
Do you want to work abroad, change countries, or grow your career, but feel your English is holding you back?
Do meetings, emails, or small talk in English still make you nervous?

In my English classes, we focus on real-life and professional English you actually need for speaking, confidence, and clear communication.
With my international business experience for over 9 years, I help you use English naturally for work, travel, and everyday life in a supportive and practical way.
I am also a very chatty friend, so you will practice your speaking a lot.

I cannot wait to talk with you in a common language ! :)
