My name is Nataliia.

I'm a professional English Interpreter/Translator and English teacher with over 20 years of experience.

Teaching is not just a job for me; it is a source of joy. I love sharing my expertise, explaining new topics, and helping others achieve their goals in learning English. Everyone has their unique learning path, and I am delighted to be a part of that journey, a reliable guide to new achievements.

I am fluent in four languages, and thanks to my language practice in the USA, I bring an atmosphere of American ease and liberty to my lessons. My TEFL/TESOL certification from the UK offers you the chance to immerse yourself in the refinement and elegance of the British language. With a background in Psychology, my teaching approach is complemented, allowing me to create unique lessons tailored to the individual needs of students aged 8 to 80. In my classes, you don't just learn a language; you dive into a captivating world of communication and culture. I value the uniqueness of each student, always striving to create a supportive and inspiring learning environment. According to my students, the lessons feel like being at home - cozy and comfortable.

Let's open the doors to new discoveries together!

See you in class!

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. I am Rifat and I hold a Master's degree in Commerce and have 20 years’ experience in business and the energy sector. Additionally, I have a level-5 TEFL certificate from the TEFL Academy in the United Kingdom.

My industry experience over the years includes training workshops for groups, staff, and management focused on improving business management functions. I enjoy creating relevant teaching materials and coursework tailored to students’ needs. As an educator, I bring advanced research skills with proposals and report-writing experience. These provide a rich resource for English language teaching and make the learning experience more relevant. This journey ensures communication skills and language mastery that’s specific to your career and industry.

My pedagogy and teaching strategies strongly favor a student-centered approach focusing on finding a balance between receptive and productive skills to achieve optimal language acquisition. I rely on advanced online resources in the classroom.

I am a British English native speaker and a warm and friendly person who loves meeting people from all cultures and backgrounds and I have travelled extensively throughout the world. I have worked in all kinds of industries form Media and Entertainment and Veterinary Nursing to running my own businesses.

I like to make learning fun and engaging and l make every lesson individually for you whether that is working on your pronunciation and grammar or practising interview techniques. You will improve your speaking skills by learning real-life scenarios and situations.

With a background in psychology and psychotherapy I naturally demonstrate empathy and patience and am an excellent listener and communicator so as a teacher I know what a personal journey language learning can be and the challenges and sometime frustrations that can develop, but there is no need to worry because we will progress at your own pace.

I look forward to meeting you really soon.
