Hello. My name is Irina, I am 26. I have a bachelor’s degree in Translation. I worked as an academic writer for an American company called Cool Club and have been chosen as a preferred writer on multiple occasions.
I have been teaching English for over a decade. During my career, I have worked with teenagers and adults with levels that range from A1 to C1. I have a C1+ English language certificate (American test).
As a teacher, it is crucial for me to ask for my students’ feedback. Also, I ensure that my lessons cater to their goals and needs. Crafting lessons for each student individually is a valuable criterion for me, as this guarantees their satisfaction. Moreover, I place a rather strong emphasis on ensuring that they feel comfortable enough to speak, so that they could progress further in language learning. I know that a lot of students struggle with being afraid of using their target language, so relaxing them and supporting them means a lot. In addition to this, I always let them ask questions. That way, we would be able to solve certain issues that they may have with pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
