Does everything in timely manner as agreed previously - like sending homework and giving some researched by her recommendations based on your preferences (e.g. particular podcast streams). She is open to your particular needs and builds lessons around that. It is great to study with her!

Kristel
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 and structures and its origins for non-native speakers
Estonian is the official language in Estonia and one of the official languages of the European Union. The jobs of the future, however, will require workers with advanced literacy and numeracy skills, and maybe you start a business in Estonia or attend training or school, or be added to a language course list. Digital literacy and intercultural communication are some of the skills you will learn in my lessons. I use English language books to explain the structures and origins of the Estonian language. Academic learning is divided into three parts. 1) Spoken language such as diction, acting on stories or poems, public speaking, debates and discussions, etc. 2) Reading exercises such as the main idea, supporting details, the author's purpose, organisation and text structures, the audience, evaluating arguments, drawing conclusions, tone, and mood, meaning of words and phrases, figurative language, graphic structures of information and elements of fiction, etc. 3) Grammar and sentence structure such as the parts of speech, constructing sentences, capitalization, common language errors, the essay, writing a thesis statement, structuring the essay, providing supportive evidence, writing well, etc.

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.

Studying new languages is not boring :) I will help you learn English, Estonian or Russian starting from any level
If you are in a need to start learning a new language or you are willing to improve your skills, it is much easier than it seems. I can help you expand your vocabulary, learn grammar and spelling, overcome language barrier and work on your pronunciation, which is pretty important if you ask me :) I have one and a half year of tutoring experience with different age groups. During this time I have developed my own teaching system by paying attention to the most effective methods and practices. Just let me know what your main goal is for studying English, Estonian or Russian and I will prepare a special learning plan based on your needs.

Start your learning journey with me and I can promise you it will be fun and effective :)
