Iana Borodinskaia: Tutoring for Knowledge Excellence

I studied in Saint-Petersburg’s UTD on the faculty of Journalism.TEFL and TEYL certified. Rich experience in teaching adults and kids from any level of language. Worked in schools and training centers in China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. During the last 4 years of teaching, I've prepared lots of students for English exams, such as IELTS and University entry exams, and for various Russian language tests. All my students showed amazing improvements and great results in the shortest time.

As a philology professional, I can build classes structurally so you can gradually build your grammar skills without getting confused. We also pay much attention to speaking practice and pronunciation using authentic materials and professional textbooks. I always try to motivate my students to talk more and build my classes in an interesting and interactive manner, based on their hobbies and interests.  I highly recommend my student to use more authentic materials like magazines and newspaper articles, movies, videos, and TV shows, radio, and podcasts programs. It makes learning more interesting, motivating, and also prepares students for real-life situations. I love to create my own materials like Crosswords, word search puzzles, role-play cards, flashcards, gap-fill activities, picture stories, and so on. However, I also use course books, worksheets, and academic reading texts when it's necessary for the teaching process.
