Improving your English taking fun and interesting lessons

My name is Raluca, I am a certified ESL teacher from Canada with 6 years of experience working both in the classroom and online. I've been teaching students of all ages and levels, from beginning to advanced. I taught English in Turkey, Spain, and Romania. Since September 2014, I have been living and working in Italy.
In my lessons, you won’t memorize long lists of vocabulary and verbs.
Instead, you and I will discuss interesting topics and practice language which you actually want to use.
Moreover, I have experience preparing students for Cambridge exams from KET up to C1 and helping students with professional needs such as presentations and technical vocabulary thanks to my Master's Degree in Geology and Geophysics and work experience in the oil and gas industry.

I have an excellent track record in improving students’ fluency and confidence in using English in real-life situations.
I guarantee that after one of my lessons, you will already feel more comfortable speaking in English.

For these reasons, I hope to see you in the classroom.

I possess a fun-filled personality as well as effective teaching skills that motivate students towards learning.

Arianit
German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)
German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved. As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.
