About Me
Introduction:
I was born in the south of Russia, graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in linguistics from the State University, Faculty of Foreign Languages. I'm TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certified (2017, Barcelona, Spain), have been living in Barcelona, Spain for the last 3 years.
As a teacher, I have great experience of working on-site as well as online. For the moment, I mostly work with my students online which is highly effective for both sides. On-site I worked in an English language school (Moscow) teaching English to groups of students – adults or teenagers (8-12 people). Online I worked for 1,5 years in an International English language school where I taught students of different levels and ages. Students there were from all over Europe – Spain, Italy, France, etc. As well I worked for half a year in a Chinese online school teaching English to groups of students of different ages and levels (4-16 years old).
I must confess teaching is my passion, I just can't stop doing it. I always try to become better and strengthen my skills. I enjoy greatly working with people.
My strong sides are patience, a positive approach, and responsibility.
I would like to start my experience in a reputed company with a positive attitude, where I can improve my career.
I'm ready for any additional training as I'm enjoying my job and eager to develop my skills.
I'm searching for a part-time or full-time job with flexible hours and am open to offers.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
