Tutor for English , German and Russian teaches students of all ages and abilities

Advert description

I am an experienced teacher for German, English and Russian. I have an up to dated DBS Certificate .
I have worked for 14 years at Southend Adult Community College, Essex, and for 6 years online. I have a Master degree in German studies.
I have also worked with OCR for 2 years - as an exam editor. I offer help to children and adults, from Beginners to University students. One of my student, who started with me from scratch, studies now Russian at Selwyn College Cambridge. I am very proud of her!
I perform of one to one tuition, group teaching, personal or online teaching.
Flexible schedule and individual approach. For example: I can create a crash course for skiers or bankers. I embed a thought provoking questions in my lessons, based on a wide spectrum of humanitarian subjects like History, Literacy, Religious Studies and Art E.g "Has Martin Lüther contributed to the German language as much as William Shakespeare to English ?"
Or : Children labour under the Tzar in the 19th century: demonstration of the famous painting of Perov "Troika”. “ To be a child -is it a privilege or a routine?” “If you were born at that time…..…?”.-practicing Konjunktiv / subjunctive-
I have taught English online to some Russian students. One of them studies economics in Finnland. All classes are held in English.

Wolfgang Goethe said : „Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen“ couldn’t agree more. What do you think ?

I love teaching to my students and learning from them. It’s an amazing never ending process. Big thank you to all my previous and future students!

Valentina in a nutshell

I teach all levels in German and Russian. I also teach English as a second language from Beginners to Advanced - both in the class and online.
I have been teaching students from all walks of life, all levels and abilities, from young children to pensioners, who wanted to learn from scratch or maintain a certain level of speaking to be able to communicate in business or tourism, studies or simply to have fun maintaining a certain level of the relevant language.
I enjoyed teaching students in Southend adult community college before Covid, since it was a mutual beneficial process of teaching and learning , exchanging of different experiences, skills, sharing stories, doing creative writing , singing songs to learn grammar in a fun way, describing pictures to use a variety of adjectives and adverbs, using a special software for games like “ who wants to be a millionaire “ or “ Triptico” to expand vocabulary and increase linguistic confidence.
I also teach German and Russian History and Literature on demand.
I am very proud of my student who started learning Russian from scratch and became a student of Cambridge University !
I am proud of all my students who I helped to achieved their personal goals in learning languages, developing all 4 linguistic skills : listening, reading, writing and especially speaking , focusing on personal goals and achievements, success and confidence while learning.
Looking forward to teaching you soon!
