About Me
italki teacher since Jul 27, 2017Interest topicMedical & HealthcarePets & AnimalsFood
Luckily, my hobby (the English language) has become my career, so, teaching English has always been a pleasant chore for me. All my classes are tailor-made according to the students' requirements and abilities, using original course books, audio, and video materials. Together, we are usually able to make good progress to our mutual satisfaction.
Although there are not many things or places I could describe saying “been there, done that”, I‘ve got some cherished memories of the UK seaside, the Harz Mountains, and the Black sea.
Personally, I like reading, doing sports, and having a good laugh in a pleasant company.Me as a Teacher
I'm an English tutor with a Master's degree from a teachers' training university, a Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English and more than 30-year experience in teaching it to university students as well as grade- and high-schoolers. I graduated from Drohobych Ivan Franko Teachers' Training University in 1990, receiving a diploma with honors. I worked there as a professor of English for eight years. Until 2002, I had been teaching at the Truskavets English courses. Now, Im self-employed and blissful.My lessons & teaching style
I believe in flexibility of the educational approach. As a teacher, I’m very adaptable in terms of the teaching methods I use, although my personal favorite is discussion as it presupposes a two-way flow of thought. Commonly, I leave the topic choice to my students. It ranges, therefore, from politics to lifestyle, psychological, sociological, or environmental issues: to master a language, one has to use it as a research tool to discover new information rather than practising it out of context.

Anna is an amazing teacher, I have been taking classes with her in order to prepare the TOEFL exam, my weakness point was the writing task and because of the personalization of her classes I could improve very fast. I would definitely recommend taking classes with Anna.

I would definitely recommend Anna for exam preparation as well as for general English classes. She is a wonderful teacher who is open to new learning formats and has many different studying materials, which makes classes with her varied and interesting. With her great help and support, I have improved my language fluency and managed to get my dream score in the IELTS exam (7 overall)!

We've overcome the intricacies embedded in the Speaking Paper of the Cambridge C1 Advanced Exam, as well known as CAE, all her lessons have been highly productive and supportive; furthermore, she's been a marvelous and compelling teacher all the way, I'd totally recommend her to anyone looking forward to taking this kind of exams, thanks for being in my corner!

Anna uses insightful and smart examples to explain complex ideas, making the short lesson very productive. Now I have a plan for next lesson, and I'm motivated to continue practicing the material we covered.
