Hi everyone! My name is Alena and I live in the United States.

Do you want to start learning the language from scratch? Or finally stop being afraid of grammar? Improve your level and pronunciation? Is there a need to master your business English? Or maybe you wish to overcome the fear of live conversation, and feel confident in an English-speaking environment? Here I am…an online English tutor at your service!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am 37 years old, and I have been living abroad for 9 years, mainly in the United States. I have two university degrees in management, have spent many years working for international corporations, and I know business English from A to Z. I am also certified for teaching business English.
I truly love learning foreign languages; I also speak Spanish, German, and even some Indonesian and Vietnamese. My hobbies are traveling and reading, and I also enjoy sailing and driving big motorcycles. I simply adore the English language; aside from my work as a translator, I am immersed into an English-speaking
environment. In total, I have delivered 300+ lessons online. Modern, colloquial American is something that I particularly enjoy; during our classes we will not waste time on boring old-fashioned texts such as “London is the capital of Great Britain…” No doubt, there will be lots of vocabulary and grammar, but it will all apply to the modern language, as Americans of the 21st century use it. The lessons are based on a communicative technique: we talk, listen, watch videos, and do exercises within the context of simple, but fun and trending topics, gaining proficiency with every step.
