About me
As an experienced tutor, I have been teaching Estonian since 2020. Over this period, I have successfully prepared two students for the B2 level exam and one for the B1 level. I have also worked with preschool-aged children, first and second graders, as well as high school and middle school graduates. In addition, I have taught adult learners, including one elderly woman. My lessons have been conducted both online and offline. My current level of Estonian is B2, and I plan to take the C1 exam in November. For now, I am able to teach Estonian up to the B2 level.
I have a background in Oriental Studies with a specialization in Japanese, and I learned Japanese during my studies. I have also visited Japan once. In Japanese, my proficiency is at B1 or N3, so I am available to teach beginner-level Japanese.
I am also available as an art tutor, having graduated from an art school and worked for about three years in game design. During my career, I have completed projects using both traditional techniques and digital art. This experience allows me to guide students in various artistic methods, whether they prefer working by hand or on a computer.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to the needs of each student, as I believe that everyone learns differently and requires a personalized approach. Here’s how I structure my lessons:
1) Introduction and Assessment: We begin by getting to know each other and assessing the student’s current knowledge level.
2) Customizing the Lesson Plan: I evaluate the student’s learning pace, the amount of material they wish to cover in a lesson, their memory retention capabilities, and their dominant method of information processing. During this process, we read, listen, write, and work on memorizing vocabulary.
3) Trial Homework Assignments: I provide trial homework to gauge the student’s progress and adjust future lessons accordingly.
4) Adapting the Lessons: Based on the assessment results, I tailor the lesson to fit the student’s needs.
Lessons can be conducted using textbooks or in a more flexible, informal format, depending on what works best for the student.
