My name is Iuliia, I am 33 years old. Now I live and work in Niigata. I was born in the Soviet Union, have lived in Europe, America, and Asia, and one day plan to try living in Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. My hobbies are teaching, yoga, trying new foods, running outside, hiking, and doing whatever makes me genuinely happy.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a licensed EFL teacher and specialize in grammar and accent reduction. I've been helping my students prepare for EIKEN ever since I came to Japan. I myself had to take TOEFL iBT back when I was applying to the University of Minnesota and I easily got 110 points which is the equivalent of EIKEN 1. If you are preparing for either EIKEN or TOEFL, I have the materials, qualifications, and experience necessary to help you succeed.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Active discussion is the key to fluency. My lessons are 75% discussion. I strongly encourage my students to ask as many questions as possible, the trick is to form the questions on the spot, not beforehand - that's a key to have a 'live' conversation and not a parody from a textbook. I provide all the materials, doing homework is optional but is always strongly encouraged.
