Hello. I am Christina - an English tutor, a language coach, a personal performance coach, and a small business mentor.
I help people to reach their goals, be it a foreign language acquisition or a personal development.

I created Lonet Academy to provide an opportunity to find your match with the best language tutor for them.

I enjoy teaching, coaching, and mentoring as I love seeing the progress of my clients and their lives change for the better.

During our sessions, we work on:

- exploring your motivation for language learning, your resources, strengths, and previous positive experiences;

- listening and speaking skills (we watch video material, discuss it, complete exercises, and learn social phrases);

- reading, discussion, argumentation, and skills of presentation (according to the level of students and their interests);

- grammar (of course. :)) – focus on form and meaning + controlled practice;

For teaching grammar, I use a guided discovery method.

- vocabulary (in the engaging context). I love experimenting with different techniques for memorizing words and phrases, such as a memory palace, associations, emotional engagement, etc;

- freer practice and organic learning, switching from a focused mode to a diffused mode of thinking.

As far as I have 20 years of business background, I can provide business English classes as well. Having a bachelor's degree in English Philology I help students improve their academic English skills and prepare for exams (e. g. IELTS). I use the elements of the GROW model (a coaching model) in my language teaching practice.

For the lessons with me you will need:

- stable internet connection;

- a computer and connection to Zoom;

- motivation and positive attitude;

- good mood and smile. :)

- willingness to adopt a learning mindset and improve your quality of life.

I keep the context of the lessons in the scope of my students' interests. For example, if you are interested in traveling, we speak about countries, languages, history, and the most interesting places to visit. If you are interested in technologies, we discuss the latest tendencies in artificial intelligence, robotics, bio-technologies, and other breaking technologies and how they are going to change the world. If you are interested in psychology we speak about the relevant concepts, exchange different points of view, and share information on our personal experience.

We read books and have debates. :)

I accept students from 16 years old (not younger).

Book a discovery call with me and welcome to my classes.

Yours,

Christina
