About Me

Hi,

I´m Sandra, a friendly violinist and singer from Estonia. My relationship brought me to Vienna and I´ve been living here since autumn 2021.

I was 3 years old, when I started singing and dancing in the Estonian Tv Children´s Studio. The love for music brought me to the violin from the age of 7 and there on my studies continued in Tallinn Music High School for 12 years. I continued in the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, where I first achieved my bachelor´s and then my master´s degree.

Parallel to my violin studies, I´ve always enjoyed singing, choir and solo. My violin knowledge is based on classical music, but I'm a big jazz and pop lover. In my work with kids, I try to incorporate folk tunes and traditionals from Estonian culture.

I have been a violin teacher for the past 5 years, teaching in 3 different music schools and studios, while also giving private lessons. My students have participated successfully in competitions, and I myself play actively in different chamber ensembles and project orchestras.

Travels with different international orchestras and choirs have brought me to: Hongkong, South Africa, Argentina, Hungary, Italy, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic,
Switzerland, France, Russia, England, Latvia, Finland, Spain, Greece, China, Malta etc.

Sandra has been a great teacher! She was patient with me and my schedule and ever since our first lesson, she's been flexible and available for all of our lessons. I haven't taken Estonian in over 10 years and I'm excited to keep learning with Sandra. She has a good plan for learning Estonian that won't overwhelm a beginner!
She is very patient and plans her lessons according to wishes and/or weaknesses, which makes learning much more fun.

Private Estonian tutoring for levels Beginner and Intermediate
MY LESSONS: Learning Estonian can be quite hard on your own or in a group. As a native speaker, I can help you become fluent in Estonian by mostly practicing conversation and pronunciation. I also help with other aspects of language learning, like writing, reading, and listening. Sometimes I help with Harno exam preparations as well. I tend to work with a maximum of two students at once, so couples, friends, and family members are welcome to have the lesson together. We will be using English as a base language in our lesson. MY TEACHING STYLE: - Anxiety and perfection-free space - mistakes are welcome! - You choose the time, the place, and the learning style - Every student is unique and has their own pace - I will provide the study materials for you - Flexibility in learning - No grading system REQUIREMENTS FOR ONLINE LESSONS: - Having a good Wi-Fi connection - Having a laptop or a tablet with a camera REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME LESSONS: - Living within 30 minutes walking distance from my location - Having a laptop for exercises Kas alustame? (Shall we start?)

Estonian language lessons and courses with Martin Filippov
I am a Software Engineer, teacher and tutor. I graduated from Tallinn English College in 2016 and Tallinn French Lyceum in 2019, and I received my bachelor's degree in software development from Tallinn University of Technology in 2022. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in software development. I work daily as a tutor and senior advisor in my companies. I have also been teaching for 5 years. I help students prepare for state exams in Estonian (levels A1-C1) and math (both narrow and broad curriculums). I can always share tricks and exercises with students in class. I have clients age 5-65. I conduct lessons and meetings on Google Meet, during which I share my screen with the student, and together we write a Google Docs file with exercises, speak and write essays. This file, containing formulas and rules, stays with the student. At the end of the lesson, I assign homework to the student, and we review it in the next lesson. I have the same system applied in programming. I always choose topics that interest the student to make it easier for them to learn rules or formulas. I can also visit the student in person. Additionally, I help with writing research papers and final theses, ranging from elementary school research papers to master's theses.

Estonian for any age and purpose: for exams, conversational, for work
Hello! You will learn to understand Estonian speech, make sentences, speak on different topics, learn the vocabulary you need for your work, learn grammar rules and apply them easily. I am teaching using progressive communication method, where you learn the whole phrase, not word by word. This way it is easier to remember grammar and make grammatically correct sentences.
