Darja

I was born in Russia but grew up in Estonia where I met my future husband who then brought me back to his home country of Great Britain in 2006. We live in Stratford-on-Avon, the home of William Shakespeare, and have 2 lovely children who we are raising to be bilingual.
I also have an eyelash extension business since 2010.
One of my hobbies is sewing and I love making matching dresses for myself and my daughter!

Tutoring Experience

I am new to teaching, however, I have been homeschooling both of my children since March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown!
I have also prepared for the state English exam back in Estonia and am well used to using the course books myself!
I have been supporting and helping a few of my relatives with their English studies and completed an English course when I worked in England as an au-pair before I moved over.

Tutoring Approach

I like the idea of mixing different teaching methods to give my students the best opportunity to learn English. For example, in my lessons I like mixing a natural method with the structural approach. This allows the students to learn the main grammar rules and practice them using and listening only the target language!
