I am an elementary teacher, special needs teacher, and speech therapist, however, my life took me away from education at one point. The desire to help brought me back to teaching: I started teaching Estonian to Ukrainians as a volunteer, and this led to a new journey that is very close to my heart. I have been a teacher at Multilingua since 2024, and I focus on teaching Estonian to adults at the beginner level.<\/span><\/p>\n

This work gives me real joy. In front of the class, I feel more like a supporter than a traditional teacher – I’m just a person who knows Estonian a little better and helps others to achieve it. Adult learners inspire me with their experiences and their desire to learn something completely new. At the same time, I understand how difficult it can be to find the time and energy to learn a language while juggling family and work. That is why it is important for me to create an atmosphere in the\u00a0 classroom where learning is natural, friendly and encouraging.<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe that the best learning happens when you learn at your own pace, step by step, building on what you already know. When new knowledge is a reasonable challenge, there is joy, interest and confidence. And most importantly, making mistakes is completely natural. Mistakes are not an obstacle, but a part of the journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, language learning is first and foremost about collaboration. When we learn together it is easier, more fun and we feel braver!<\/span><\/p>\n
