Hello everyone!
I’m an English Teacher. My first diploma is in advertising and marketing. I’ve spent about 10 years helping clients to get their best from digital ads.
5 years ago I found out that cubical nation and supporting ad campaigns of diapers and cigarettes is not what I want devote to the rest of my life. I have started to search for the new direction. And one day – BINGO – I was stricken with a very pleasant and fulfilling idea: developing kids, helping them to discover the beauty and joy of learning English with me.
I’m tremendously excited about every step in teaching and improving my language skills. Lessons with my students make me really happy and every day this feeling increases!
I learn a lot every free minute I have! Here is a list of courses, workshop & webinars in English Language & Teaching I attended lately.
