About me
- Dear friends!
I am really pleased to see you on my site. You might have already noticed – my speciality is teaching of the English language.
I am focused on 3 different kinds of students who are studying English – children (from the age of 10), teenagers and adults.
But firstly, I would like to say some words about the trends of teaching English today.
Nowadays there are lots of sites which advertise studying and teaching English for 3 days, 3 weeks or months and it is said that you will start speaking over this period of time. - But the question is how well will you start doing it? Do you want to navigate around using just a couple of words? If you have such an aim – this site is not for you. I have been studying English for 26 years and working as a teacher of the language for 20 years and believe me -to start speaking in 3 days, weeks or even months is utopia.
Firstly, I would like to turn to adults whose goal is to travel and communicate with people from different countries.
- If you ask me how long does it take to start speaking to be understood? My answer would be – 1 year. In a year you will be able to deal with issues at airports, hotels, do the shopping and communicate with people from all over the world discussing common topics.
If you have more ambitious goals and you are keen on getting really good linguistic skills, you will have to study for 2 years or more. Sure, studying English (or any other language) is quite hard. But having a good motivation you will be able to deal with any issue. Moreover, you might find studying really fascinating. You will open a new world for yourself! - English , as any other language, is a big ocean. That is why at the time I took a decision to study and teach General English and work with children and adults from Beginners to Advanced.
I get my students ready for international exams in accordance with the Cambridge Classification of International Exams in English.
The exams which I get my students ready for are KET (Key English Test), PET (Preliminary English Test), B2 First (FCE - First Certificate of English) and CAE ( Certificate of Advanced English). At the time I passed some of such exams myself. You can look at my diplomas on the site as well.
In my perspective, such exams should be taken because the diplomas confirmed by Cambridge University give you an opportunity to work abroad according to your professional skills in your sphere or to enter a university in Europe or in America.
- As for my vision regarding the structure of lessons and an appropriate number of students in a group, I would like to point out the fact that it is useless to have more than 4 students in class because in my opinion, it is impossible to control students and to discuss their mistakes and questions they ask a teacher if there are more than 4 of them. The optimal length of 1 lesson is 2 hours (120 minutes) if you get ready for exams and 1 hour and a half (90 minutes) for students studying General English.
That’s all I wanted to say to you for now. If you have any further questions, write to me, please. It will be a pleasure for me to answer your questions.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Sincerely yours, Tatiana.
