I believe I have been very lucky to find my ideal job right from the beginning of my career: after more than 20 years I am still not tired of it. I have never done anything else in my life. I guess the most exciting thing for me in this profession is meeting people \u2013 I really like it! \u2013 and seeing my students\u2019 progress: I make it my professional goal. I have always taught adults, so I try to keep in mind my students can be very busy and have other life goals except for improving their English. I firmly believe learning a language can be fun, and should not require a lot of time investment from students.<\/p>\n
English has been my passion since secondary school, so entering an English and Social Work Department at the Pedagogical University in Minsk, Belarus was an obvious choice. I graduated in 1997 with honours and was offered a part-time teaching position in my department provided I would do a master\u2019s degree course, which I completed in 1998 and got an MA in Education.<\/p>\n
Having taught at several universities in Minsk I had an opportunity to do an MA course in Britain: I got an MA in English Language Teaching and Multimedia from Warwick University in 2003. After that I decided to explore the ELT world a little, and got a teaching job in China, where I worked for several educational institutions for 4 years, teaching English to adults and teenagers. That was a great international and cultural experience which allowed me to establish myself in the field of private language tutoring and language schools.<\/p>\n
I have taught in 3 countries so far, and comparing the cultural and educational scene has never been boring. I have been working for Multilingua since 2017 teaching corporate clients mostly. I believe my Estonian students appreciate the international input I bring into my classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
