DIY skills are very vital especially when you have a certain budget to adhere to after you consult your nearest Home Depot or Brico and find out that quotation cost and estimations are quite expensive! With my assistance you could cut cost and get your home or renovations done in your own unique time, pace, style, budget and taste especially in the era of DIY! I could either assist you or take charge...the ball is in your court!
As you acquire a new skill or enhance the proficiency of a new language skill, you will be guided in grammar, vocabulary, conversations, dictions and oral articulations to aide you in communicating better with other English speakers worldwide...conversational dates, outdoor excursions & day-day routine exercise can be requested. Test preparations are inclusive! IELTS, TOEFL, General or Academic!

Russian Language, Grammar, Speaking, Writing - from Basic to Advanced
Russian is a very beautiful but truly challenging language. Whatever are your purposes for learning this language, help from a native Russian speaker will certainly accelerate this process. Russian isn't my mother tongue but I use this language from the age of 6 on a daily basis so I am almost a native speaker. I've been living in Moscow, Russia for the past 3 years. Currently, I'm in Brussels and ready to help anybody willing to master this language. If you're interested, feel free to contact me.
