Обо мне
Преподает на italki с 25 Mar 2020 г.Интересующая темаПутешествияЧтениеЕдаНаукаЖивотные
I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher as well as a doctor of psychology with 20 years of teaching experience at UK universities. I also have extensive experience of public speaking, writing and workshop facilitation in corporate & community settings in the UK.
I specialise in academic mentoring and teaching English for academic and business purposes, including IELTS/FCE/CAE test preparation, taking a very personalised approach.
Over the years I have helped many students and professionals from different disciplines improve their academic and business writing and presenting skills, and create powerful personal statements for job applications. I would love to see how I can help you!Показать перевод
Я как преподаватель
My aim is to boost your speaking confidence, refine accuracy and fluency, and immerse you in the spirit of the language. Utilising my academic and business expertise, along with personal experience, I'll help you communicate effectively when studying or working in an English-speaking setting.
While I offer structured courses (A1-C1) and conversational practice, my focus is on mentoring college/university students and professionals in various fields - medicine, social and life sciences, marketing, engineering, HR, finance, and others.
Specialising in writing and presentation skills, I empower both non-native and native English speakers to excel in academic and business communication.Мои уроки и стиль преподавания
During your first lesson, we'll discuss your goals and set learning objectives. We'll then follow a programme of learning using textbooks, video/audio materials, news articles & other resources.
The most important thing to know before taking lessons with me is that you shouldn't worry about making mistakes - that's the only way to learn!
For comprehensive academic and business communication support, we'll collaborate on your essays, research papers, proposals, reports, presentations, personal statements, CVs and interview materials to meet the specific requirements of your study or work.
If you are preparing for IELTS & other formal assessments, I'll tailor the curriculum to your needs.Мой учебный материал

CELTA - Cambridge Assessment - 2019
Сертификат верифицирован
CELTA - Cambridge Assessment - 2019I was first introduced to the IELTS Masterclass textbook during my CELTA teacher training when I worked with a group of IELTS preparation students, and this is the programme I now follow with all my IELTS students. Additionally, having worked as a university lecturer and tutor for over 20 years and having marked hundreds of student essays, research reports and dissertations, I'm probably better qualified than most TEFL/TESOL teachers to prepare students for the writing part of the IELTS exam.

She's the BEST!🔥 🔥 🔥
Having received assistance from various college resources and tutors on campus, as well as reviewing help online, I must say that my experience with Dr J has been exceptional. She genuinely cares about her students and goes above and beyond to collaborate and bring out the best in their essays. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking academic support

Jelena is amazing. The lessons with her are highly professional and efficient and she is a very sympathetic person. She helped me with the preparation for the Viva for my PhD dissertation, which will be in English, which is not my native language. In this, Jelena has been of great help to me both in linguistic and scientific matters. So in her I found an English teacher and a science coach in one person.
Many thanks for all your help and support, Jelena. I'm very grateful.

Dr. J is the best teacher I’ve encountered on italki. I truly appreciate her not only for the knowledge I've gained but also for the influence she's had on my future career. I have enjoyed every class with her. Her professionalism and dedication to her students are remarkable. As someone with no prior research experience, I've made significant progress under her guidance. Dr. J genuinely cares about each student, always approachable and supportive. Her lessons are well-structured and focused; every word she shares is valuable and relevant, helping me clearly understand how to improve. Thank you for your guidance, and I hope to continue learning from you!

Lessons with Jelena are amazing! She taught me new skills in academic writing, which was really helpful for writing my bachelor thesis. I hadn’t even expected to learn so much new information in such a short time. Thank you!

Jelena helped me prepare my PhD interview and conference preparation and that is wonderful. She won’t spent too much time of the tiny detail in my material (as everyone’s research is very different), but she will tell you how you can achieve the goal in the short time. The techniques she taught me are very useful, thank you Jelena😊
