ABOUT VALENTINE: I am a polyglot language tutor who lived in England for five years and speaks English my whole life. I graduated university in England and I achieved a TEFL certificate to teach English as a Foreign language. 
I have a C2 proficient CAE certificate, TEFL certificate and I study three other languages (Korean, German and Spanish).
 I offer online and in-person tuition to students whose first language is not English, to those who want to become more confident in daily or business conversation, or to those who need support with school work. ABOUT THE LESSON: In my lessons I teach written, spoken and listening comprehension and vocabulary in parallel. 

I teach all ages starting from 7 and ending with 65, so feel free to message me with your request :) 

My specialism is conversation classes and active communication, but I also teach written communication skills, reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary. 

I customise my classes to meet your individual needs and I can help prepare you or your child for various exams, or cover themes relevant to your work.
