The best Romanian tutor for you

I am an absolutely passionate, dedicated, creative and resourceful teacher, with a lot of experience and a wide range of teaching methods. I like being professional and I think details are important and can make a huge different. Quick illustration: one of my students got a job because he used PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS, instead of Present Simple Continuous. This made the difference for the interviewer. If you want to find out the whole story or if you want to have a similar story, just get in touch! If you have any questions, I am more then willing to give you answers!

I have graduated from Bucharest University, Faculty of Letters ( ROMANIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE-ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE). I am a calm and patient person with my students ( children, teenagers and adults), I encourage them, I emphasize their strengths and I have realized that this plays a major role in their amazing evolution, together with their volition to study and to improve their Romanian or English level.

I really love sharing my passion for languages and I enjoy the most seeing how my students progress in their language studies. I speak slowly - as much as it can be a drawback in life, it is an asset in teaching, because this helps the student processing the language easier, at their own pace. I have formal education in all of the languages, so I know and I can help with grammar if you need. My main goal, though, is to help you improve your speaking skills. Having learned multiple languages makes it possible for me to understand the struggles in language learning and to offer clear explanations and concrete tips about different aspects of the language or the learning process itself.

I‘m an organized person so every lesson will have a well-structured plan, but I‘m also a creative person and opened to new ideas of how to make the lessons more interesting. If you have suggestions don‘t be afraid to share it with me. Every student will have a personal google drive and doc where I will put the materials that we will do during the class and also for those who wants some extra activities. Feel free to ask any question regarding the class, I‘ll make sure to respond and explain the best way I can.

I see myself as a mirror: I can help and guide you through the language, present grammar rules, explain vocabulary, answer questions, and correct your mistakes, but your improvement and progress are entirely up to you, how enthusiastic you are about the language you study, and your motivations. I encourage you to make mistakes, express yourself freely, and make decisions as to how you want the lessons to go. A teacher is a resource. Slowly but surely, your skills will flourish and you´ll become confident in your language abilities. For me, this is one of the best parts of my work. :)

• As an alumnus of Babes-Bolyai University, I achieved a degree in Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics (Japanese Language & Literature, English Language & Literature, Romanian Language & Literature, General Linguistics, Writing Techniques Seminars). • I completed a post-graduation Japanese conversational course at the Cultural Japanese Centre of Babes-Bolyai University. • I have been a full-time language tutor since March 2017, having offered over 4000 Romanian, Japanese and English lessons to students from all over the world (50+ countries) both online and in-person.

I have experience in teaching English live, as a volunteer in a centre in the Chilean Patagonia. I have also taught since March 2020 as a freelancer to people off all age groups from around the world.

I used to tutor children and teenagers in their school years helping them with subjects such as Italian grammar and literature. I am actually pretty much into classical literature. I also helped many adults learning Italian, especially my fellow East European and Arab immigrants. Since I've been on italki I've realized how much I missed doing this, and how much I love it! I still do not have any particular qualitication as a teacher (but it's actually in my plans) so I don't have the pretension to teach to an academic level. However, I do have a lot of experience, both live and online, and I do speak both languages on a native level, using them everyday in school, work and personal life.

I graduated from the Faculty of Foreign Languages – English and Spanish, and I also have a master's degree in Spanish. I’m a native Romanian speaker, with a standard accent, without any regional influences. I've been teaching English for 4 years now, to children in nursery schools.

I love my job. My aim is to make my students enjoy learning the language and feel free and confident when using it. Each student is a personality that’s why I have an individual aproach based on their interests and needs, and I try to find the most efficient methods and make classes funny and relaxed. My lessons are based on the four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. I am ready to help You, my Student, with anything you need. I am passionate about playing the violin, watching National Geographic, playing chess and other intellectual games. I also spend a lot of time studying professional articles and books and I enjoy creating my own teaching materials for classes.

My role as a tutor is to make you feel comfortable with using the language and gain the confidence you need. I know the self doubt you may feel (will I ever be able to learn this?), the frustration and the anger. My purpose is to overcome all this and enjoy the process of learning. From my own experience as a language learner, I know what works and what is wasting your time and I am happy to share my experience with you.

As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. I'm confident that any process of learning a language is based on confidence, that's why I always am patient, positive and can help you to feel more confident. The most important part of learning a language is practice, and I can help you according to your language level, needs and interests.

I am a patient and empathetic teacher, who will support you and celebrate your progress every step of the way! I find that motivation is one of the most important factors in developing language skills. As a result, my approach is focused on grace: instead of allowing ourselves to become unmotivated by mistakes or setbacks, we will, instead, celebrate each small improvement! I am extremely excited about the opportunity to get to know lots of people with beautiful life stories and rich cultures unbeknownst to me, and to help them reach their Romanian language goals!

Being a language learner myself I'm very aware of the challenges and manage to apply my practical learner experiences into my teaching to create a confident, mindful space for my students. Confidence, motivation, and a conscious learner approach I believe to be the main driving forces for effective language acquirement. I aim for you to enjoy and get a lot out of every class, and by frequently applying a positive feedback loop, I will make sure that the class, our approach, and the work material always stay in tune with your current needs, learning style, goals, and interests.

I am an open-minded, supportive and patient teacher and I love helping my students learn. Being myself a former student here in France, I learned that no matter how hard you try, in the end, the most effective method to master a language will be to find a native with whom you can exchange in a relaxed context. Some reading at home and a little bit of writing won’t hurt as well :), nonetheless this is why I am here, to help you see this journey as something fun and not as a drudge.

I welcome everyone to join me in learning the French and Romanian languages. Learning languages can be a difficult, yet rewarding journey, and I hold empathy and patience as key attributes to a successful teacher. My passion for learning languages and helping others communicate with people from all walks of life has inspired me to become a community tutor on Italki, and I hope it one day inspires you to teach others as well. Thank you for considering me as your community tutor!

Over the years I have taught various subjects (languages, improv theater, took care of school children) and worked with a wide range of ages, starting from children 3 years old to people aged 50. I am very passionate about teaching and helping learn, I am really patient and I pay a lot of attention to the specific needs and qualities of each student.

- 21 years of professional experience in the public education. - A Ph. D of General and French Linguistics. - Very good communicative skills. - Using modern, student-oriented approaches. - Using song lyrics during the lessons - Successful instant and informal tutoring. - Efficient preparation for immigration interviews and for the DELF and DALF exams.

I am a positive and patient person,these will help us to achieve our goals.I have experience in language learning and communication with people from different countries,and I am a honest and responsible person,who likes to meet new people and help them.
