About me - English
As a fourth-year student pursuing a degree in pedagogy with dual specializations in English and Chinese at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, I have cultivated a strong foundation in language education. My teaching journey began in high school, where I started tutoring primary school students after achieving an impressive score of 94 on the Unified State Exam in English.
With over four years of tutoring experience, I have successfully worked with students of various ages, starting from as young as five years old to adults (currently tutoring two students aged 23+). My experience includes both in-person and online teaching, allowing me to adapt my methods to suit different learning environments and student needs.
I have also gained practical experience through internships in several schools across Kaliningrad, which has further enriched my understanding of effective teaching strategies and classroom management.
