Qualified and efficient English teacher with 4+ years of experience, proven knowledge of classroom management and a real zest for sharing my passion.

Education / Certificates

Bachelor of Secondary Education with Specialization in English Language is a four-year program that prepares its students for the art and science of teaching. It builds know-how in pedagogy, such as foundations of education, principles of teaching, facilitating learning, curriculum development, child and adolescent psychology, assessment of student learning, educational technology and instructional materials preparation, and classroom management.

Professional Experience

I have gained valuable experience as an English Teacher both online and face-to-face learning.

At Cloud English Training and Teaching (and English language center) one of my key achievements is helping my students to become the person that they have dreamed of when it comes to their profession. They have achieved a lot after learning English as second language which enabled them to travel the world and doing successful businesses.

Also as a personal tutor for children and Kindergarten English teacher in Moscow, Russia I have gained different and relevant experiences in teaching and also adapt to an environment which at first was uncomfortable for me. It further developed my cultural awareness and teaching skills.

Teaching Approach

I've been using various teaching approaches since most of my students are beginners. Here are some examples:

Task Based Language Learning. The main aim of this approach to learning is task completion. Usually, relevant and interesting tasks are set by the teacher and students are expected to draw on their pre-existing knowledge of English to complete the task with as few errors as possible.

Total Physical Response, otherwise known as TPR is an approach that follows the idea of ‘learning by doing’. Beginners will learn English through a series of repetitive actions such as “Stand up”, “Open your book”, “Close the door”, and “Walk to the window and open it.” With TPR, the most important skill is aural comprehension and everything else will follow naturally later.

The Structural Approach. As the name suggests, the method is all about structure. The idea is that any language is made up of complex grammar rules. These rules, according to this approach need to be learnt in a specific order, for example the logical thing would be to teach the verb “to be” prior to teaching the present continuous which requires using the auxiliary form of the verb “to be.”

The Grammar Translation Method. Just like its name suggests, this method of teaching English is grammar heavy and relies a lot on translation. This is the traditional or ‘classical’ way of learning a language and it’s still commonly used when learning some languages. Some countries prefer this style of teaching and the main idea behind this method is that the students learn all grammar rules, so they’re able to translate a number of sentences. This is particularly common for those students who wish to study literature at a deeper level.
