CELTA-certified English Tutor: Improve your English communication skills

I am a TEFL and CELTA-certified teacher, and I am happy to work with students of all levels and ages! We can focus on whatever areas of language you want to improve, or I can provide you with a balanced schedule, tailored to you and your needs, with the main goal of communication and building towards fluency.
I am fluent in both English and Russian, so I can help Russian students who are at the elementary level in English, but I still prefer to teach and communicate primarily in English, as this will allow you to immerse yourself in the language and avoid the excessive use of the language you are comfortable with.
Recommended time for ages:
7-12 y.o. - 30 to 45 mins
- (Children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc - 30 mins)
Teens - 45mins
Adults, beginner - 30 to 45 mins.
Adults, intermediate and advanced - 45 mins +

About Me

Hello! My name is Daria, and I am an English teacher, as well as a tutor for primary school children. I am originally from Cyprus (Greek-speaking side), but my parents were immigrants from the USSR, and consequently I am fluent in both English and Russian, and am a speaker of Greek. I am also learning Japanese and German, as communication is one of my core values, and I love learning languages.
I am a believer in immersive learning and think that the main purpose of learning a language is communication, and therefore emphasise speaking and listening skills rather than reading and writing (although I do love both, and am an avid reader!). I teach both adults and children, and can work on general or specific skills, depending on the student's goals and motivations.
I use a range of materials, including textbooks (such as Speak Out and English File, all lessons having listening and speaking components), videos, extracts from books and magazines, as well as real websites and audiobook extracts.
For additional fees, I customise the lesson plans and materials and keep a record of the skills to improve and the client's progress. For the cheaper fee, I work with materials that students bring themselves, with ready worksheets and other prepared materials.
Regardless of which you choose, lessons are interactive and student-centered, and all grammar is taught in context, meaning that when grammar is covered, it will be as a part of the lesson, but not its focal point.
Due to my busy schedule, I have limited availability, but can take on several students who only need help with ready materials (e.g. homework) and speaking practice. I do look forward to working with you.
I have been tutoring children for the past 3 years and have had experiences within different curricula. I offer help with homework, identify areas in need of improvement, and support children in their journeys. My approach is learner- centered and my priority is to get the children involved and interested, and find ways of presenting the topic they find difficult in an interactive way, and link it to their personal experience and interests. (For example, improving reading comprehension using topics and media they enjoy). Recommended tutoring duration by age (but varies from child to child): 4-6y.o. - 30 mins (don't accept online) 6-7 y.o. - 45 mins 8-11 - 45 mins to max. 60 mins Children with ADHD, dyslexia and other SEND: 30 mins or 45mins with a 5-10 minute break in between

Primary School Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, SAT and 11+ Prep
Whether your child is falling behind in Maths and English or looking for some extra help with SAT or 11+ prep, I can help! I have two years of experience tutoring children between the ages of 5-12, including children with learning disabilities. I am passionate about helping children to reach their full potential and gain confidence at school. I want to work with parents to help their children excel as I understand that it can be difficult to support children in their school work and examination prep without extra help sometimes. I am an Economics graduate and have completed maths A-level and GCSE. And scored A* in both English language and English literature GCSE. I love maths and love teaching it and also am experienced in teaching comprehension and creative writing skills in English as well as Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Spencer
English classes for all levels from A1 to C2, including homework, conversation, and writing.
Hi, I'm Spencer, an American who has lived in Spain since 2008. I have over 14 years of experience as a teacher and teach classes for all levels. I also coach students for grades A1 through C2. A class consists of 15-20 minutes of textbook grammar that I use or from your course, and the rest of the class is conversation, because for me, a language is meant to be used, not just studied. We don't just review your homework; if you want to write essays, that's also possible. Although I take my work very seriously, I always try to have a laugh with you, too, because learning a language doesn't have to be all that serious. Besides, learning a language can be a lot of fun. Each student has their own goals and I love helping you achieve them. Any questions you have you can contact me. Hope to see you soon! Cheers, Spencer
