I am an English language educator and language coach and have been helping adults break through language barriers and build confidence at Multilingua since 2014.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe it is important for learning to be interesting and fun. Less is more \u2013 there is no need to cram a hundred words at once, because information is acquired in small, manageable steps, 4\u00b12 units at a time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A bachelor’s degree in special education from Tallinn University gives me the ability to notice a learner’s individual needs, take possible neurodivergences into account, and tailor instruction precisely so that it’s effective for the person.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have also completed a professional development program from language teacher to language coach (2019\u20132023). You can read about it HERE<\/strong><\/a> and listen to a podcast HERE<\/strong><\/a>. I combine traditional teaching with coaching techniques to help learners find effective learning strategies and stay focused. I also encourage learners to use artificial intelligence tools to practice and develop their written expressions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my work, I am guided by Carol Dweck\u2019s growth mindset. More important than your current level is the mindset: <\/span>I can’t do this yet, but I have the will and interest to find out.<\/span><\/i> Language proficiency is not an innate talent but develops through effort and the right strategies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teacher training (Haapsalu College of Tallinn University), English philology (University of Tartu), Erasmus+ study mobility, and a year of living in Australia have taught me to see language as a living means of communication and culture, and as an opportunity to broaden one’s world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I work with both individual and corporate clients, keeping my focus on language coaching.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my free time, I love reading and discovering the world, people, and languages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
