spoken English

hello everyone! :) My name is Sergey. I am a musician from Kaliningrad, I also enjoy teaching English - it inspires me to write new songs, to create new stories.

I was a student at university, an engineer (Kaliningrad State Technical University)but in the 5th year I realized that it was not something my heart had an inclination towards, so I changed the university from technical to the humanities-“Philology and Journalism”-“Art and Humanities”, “Theatrical Directing” and “Spoken English”(Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University).

I’d say that I have a very natural teaching style. I believe that the best learning happens when it comes out of a conversation or a discussion that you’re having. My classes are very conversational but from that conversation we’ll look at grammar, pronunciation and I’ll push your vocabulary to the next level.

My love for the language led me to a master’s degree in Linguistics—'Theory and Methodology of Teaching Foreign Languages and Cultures' in 2020; I defended Graduate Qualifying Paper ‘The Implementation Of The Principle Of Creativity In Teaching English’ which was originally called “The Magic Of Being Creative or Unorthodox Ways of Connecting Your Passion In Life With English”, with distinction.

My classes are fun, creative, and intensive so you learn a lot. But more importantly I understand from my own experience what it’s like to learn a foreign language and how important it is to really use the language and put it into practice; because it is really only by doing that that we learn to recall the words from the memory—intuitively, without thinking—and start building phrases together and create our own sentences to communicate comfortably.

Further, my passion for the language resulted in conducting around 4000 interviews as a part of a creative exchange program, developing a skill which allowed me to steer conversationally the connection between student’s interests and passions and their natural acquisition of the new language.

In my lessons you’ll expand your vocabulary and improve fluency.
You’ll learn to speak confidently and communicate effectively.
You’ll receive the practice and correction that you need to succeed in English.

Along the way my love for the language led me to writing 200 songs on my acoustic guitar, composing numerous short stories (creative and fiction writing) as well as starting to work on my first novel “The Incredible Adventure Of Florence”.

If you would like to improve your English, I would love to help you. I hope to speak to you soon. Sergey :-)
