I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I am an experienced teacher for German, English and Russian.
I have worked for 16 years at Southend Adult Community College, Essex, and for 6 years online. I have a Master degree in German studies.
I have also worked with OCR for 2 years - as an exam editor.
I am a happy mother and my son is fluent in 3 languages.
My father was a journalist, we traveled a lot. I know how tough it is to learn a new language in order to be able to go to school and to have some sort of social life! Yes, very challenging, but possible! After some time I started considering myself as privileged , because I learned German, got familiar with a different educational system and made many new friends!
I offer help to children and adults, from Beginners to University. One of my students, who started with me from scratch, studies now Russian at Selwyn College Cambridge. I am very proud of her!
My favorite case in my teaching career was when at the very first meeting one teenager declared " I absolutely hate English! " that was tough! I introduced lots of activities and by the end of the month when I needed to go back to the UK he whispered " I love English and will study it properly " - THAT was invaluable to me as a teacher! Thank you, dear Z., now I know- miracles happen.
I perform one to one tuition, a group, personal or online teaching. Flexible schedule and individual approach. For example: I can create a crash course for skiers or bankers. I like discussing multifaceted topics , embedding a wide range of humanitarian subjects like History, Literacy and Arts.
I also like teaching specific language, used in Biology, Chemistry or Geography.
I want to finish with the words of Wolfgang Goethe " Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, wei nichts von seiner eigenen ". I invite you to my class, so feel free to give me your opinion on that. Bis bald.

Hobbies

I love traveling! Before traveling to Italy or France I normally study a bit of Basic language so I can communicate in a simple way. I love talking part in some educational webinars in Psychology , History and Literature. I also love to up cycle some furniture. When feeling tired - the best remedy for me is to go for a long walk along the sea or in the forest. I love meeting with my friends, discussing films or books, eating out and dancing. Yes, I love life!
