English as a Foreign Language. Speaking and Conversation Practice

We cannot imagine the modern world without English. It is an essential language in science, media, and the Internet and is known worldwide. So, if you ever feel like English scares you or you want to enhance your speaking and conversation skills, this course is perfect for you!

I received the Duolingo English Test Certificate with 145 points, equivalent to C1 CEFR level, and I have taken the C2 Cambridge English Proficiency course. I studied in an English-speaking high school and college and gained excellent speaking skills there.

You can do that too! Join this English as a Foreign Language course and notice your skills grow!

About Me

The thing I enjoy the most in tutoring is explaining complex concepts in simple words and transforming lengthy book texts into sensible ideas and pictures. When I see the understanding in my mentee’s eyes, the way it all starts making sense after the past three hours we have been staring and drawing out the nasty Krebs cycle on the blackboard, then I know it was 100% worth it!

My teaching approach:
1. Start with something simple, just a general idea of what it is and why we are doing it.
2. Start performing the technique and make comments on what you are doing. Point out important things, but do not dive into deep science right here.
3. Check in with students regularly to see if they are actually getting it (NOT "any questions?" or "everybody good on that?", BUT "why do we put this cap here?" or "do you see the white steam coming out?"), make them actively involved by the questions or asking to hold a tube while you get the reactant from the fridge.
4. Go slowly, you are just showing the technique the first time. The students can always speed up when doing it themselves.
5. Make the schematic drawing of the experiment on the blackboard / summarize it in a protocol and let the students try it on their own. Supervise them, give tips, and suggest adjustments.
6. Let them do it fully on their own and let them ask you any questions, even the silliest and "too obvious to ask" ones.

Education

Brown University, intending to do Biology or Health and Human Biology. Providence, RI, USA
Hull's School/English College. Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Zurich, Switzerland
Lyceum "Naukova Zmina". Mathematics. Kyiv, Ukraine

Experience / Qualifications

- 2 internships in biological research lab
- 5 research projects in biology
- months of biological lab work
- International A-Levels in Biology (A*), Chemistry (A), and Mathematics (A)
- 10 years of ballroom dancing
- professional photography skills
International A-Level (IAL) is a standard education system alongside International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP). The IAL exam results are an essential part of every college application. US colleges highly value IAL results and award students higher-level course placements and course credits. That is why I created this course to assist eager learners in studying for the International A-Levels. Having received Biology (A*), Chemistry (A), and Mathematics (A), I can confidently offer you multiple strategies for quickly and correctly solving all the problems and using tricks to get the most out of all your answers so that the graders do not have a choice other than award you full points.
The SAT is an essential part of every US college application. More and more colleges are returning to test-required policy, so getting a good-looking SAT score on your CV is more important than ever. That is why I created this course to assist eager learners in studying for the Math part of the SAT. Having received 780 out of 800 points, I am confident in offering you multiple strategies for quickly and correctly solving all the problems. After taking this course, you will develop general math knowledge and SAT-specific skills and strategies to ace your college applications!
Have you always wanted to learn how to ballroom dance? Did Waltz or Foxtrot charm you with their smooth movements? Did the Latin rhythms of Rumba or Cha Cha ever touch your soul? Or maybe spicy Paso Doble caught your eye? Then it's a sign for you to learn ballroom dance! Regardless of your experience, age, or musical taste, ballroom has something to offer for everyone. I have been doing ballroom dancing for over 10 years and teaching Newcomer classes since last January. I encourage you to try it out and enjoy beautiful movements and fabulous music. Bring your partner or friends to learn to dance together!
I have taken several professional photography courses and am confident in producing fantastic pictures with a professional or semi-professional digital camera or even a phone camera. After taking this course, you will learn to take photos from the most beautiful angles, use filters, and use all the fancy features of your digital camera.
