Information About Yana:


Personal Description:

My name is Yana - I am professional, highly qualified and enthusiastic linguist by nature and profession, who loves learning as much as teaching. I teach English as second language to adults, I am also a Public Service interpreter, working for the NHS; Police; Immigration and Social services.

I am a linguist at heart and love sharing the knowledge, by presenting it in the most student friendly format. I am creative in my teaching style and can design a programme just for you:

- English for everyday essentials, build up your grammar and vocabulary to help you with trips to the shops, doctors, schools, nurseries etc.
- Business English for beginners ( for those starting or planning a career in an office environment: answering calls, writing e-mails, speaking with customers, visitors, etc)
- ESL General Knowledge - Speaking, Listening, Writing Skills

I have been living, working and studying in the UK for the last 19 years, I possess a vast amount of knowledge and experience, which I am more than happy to pass on to those willing to learn.



Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching English to Russian speakers and Russian to English speaking Executives for years, mainly in an office environment.

I have also been interpreting for the Social, NHS, Housing, Mental health and various other public services, so I have a very clear understanding of the difficulties that exist due to the language barriers.

I have collated endless glossaries for every sector, which can help anyone achieve the required level of efficiency and confidence.



Tutoring Approach:

I am eager to help my students to achieve their goals, whatever they may be. I will work with you to determine the intensity, frequency, content of the lessons and the required level, depending on your circumstances.

I offer weekly ESL lessons and packages of 5 - 10 lessons, designed around your specific needs
- Basic Business English for those starting a career in an office environment
- General English from beginner to advanced
- Customised programme for specific language needs
