About Me

Hello all! My name is Daria. I teach Russian (my native language), English (C2 certificate), Polish (C2 certificate/near native level), Serbian (C1 certificate) and Romanian (C1 certificate). I have been working as a teacher/tutor for more than 10 years. I do not only have excellent reviews from my students - I know that for many of them learning became a hobby.

Besides teaching, I have done a lot of translation (including published literary works), linguistic research and "field" dialectology. I also wrote and edited different kinds of text. So I believe to know languages as structures from every possible angle.

My diversified experience helped me to develop a teaching approach which combines scientific methodology with a lot of fun, improvisation and creative work. My students not only learn how to communicate in one of five languages I teach - they learn the culture and start to really dive into it.

Fancy trying to LOVE a LANGUAGE instead of feeling obliged to do all the hard work? Then don't hesitate to contact me!

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.
