Experience
5 years ago I started to give English lessons. At first it was like a hobby but soon I understood that my current office job did not give me such satisfaction. I decided that it was time to change working sphere. At that time (2008-2011) I was working as a personal assistant to CEO in a big international company. I did not have time to do what was really interesting for me. In 2011 I started working as a freelance journalist, English tutor having enough time to work, travel, perform creative projects. Due to 3 different university degrees I have knowledge and experience in different fields which is really helpful in my tutoring work now. Also I completed NLP course (neurolinguistic programming). Sometimes I use some techniques at my lessons. After moving to Istanbul (in December 2014) I have been working in several linguistic centres. My main responsibilities were: •development of educational programs (individually - according to the students’ level); •TEFL: private and group lessons; •special speaking courses for advanced learners and children. Now I am working as a private tutor-trainer, translator, copyrighter. I give lessons to students of different levels (from beginners to advanced who are usually interested in speaking practice or business course to prepare for negotiations or a business trip). My idea about teaching is not just to give knowledge but to support and inspire my students to feel confident and to use their knowledge in daily life.
