    About me

    As a charismatic nature, I love to have a lot of fun with my students during my classes by combining a powerful concentration in learning with a touch of sense of humor to cut down the high tension and make every lesson more enjoyable.


    My career had began with my first job as a personal English teacher for students that needed preparation and consultation in passing the interviews for obtaining different legal documentation.

    10 years of experience in teaching English as a second language, five years of online tutoring, and interpreting.


    Qualifications:


    Bachelor's degree in Philology and Linguistics


    I've worked with a variety of students from different countries like:

    Spain, Vietnam, France, China, Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Romania, Poland, Germany, Mexico, and Italy.

    Pretty quick English became my main focus which led me to attend ITTT Worldwide -International Institution, after completing the full course, I was awarded the following teaching certificates :

    TEFL and TESOL – Teaching general every day speaking English as a second language for all ages.

    CTBE – Teaching business English to adults with specific needs.


    Teaching Approach and methods:


    1. I use authentic materials, props, mime, TPR technic ( total body response), relative videos, grammar games, and a lot more.

    2 . You'll practice the correct pronunciation by speaking English at all times, hearing only one language at a time stimulates your listening and speaking skills increasing the chances of learning.

    3. I prefer letting students explore the language on their own by forcing them to think in English.

    4. I also teach Phonetics and Phonology that helps to perfect the American accent.

    5. I also use tongue Twisters and different other exercises that train the tongue muscles and the correct position.


    In your first class expect to go over your needs and your struggles in the English language.

      Alina is a great teacher! In a very short time, she helped me prepare for an international trip and brush up on my English. The lessons were practical, focused on real-life situations, and really boosted my confidence to speak. She’s patient, supportive, and adapts the classes to the student’s needs. Highly recommended!
