My name is Alexander, I am a certified English tutor with 17 years of teaching experience, working with adults, corporate students and young learners; I am currently residing in Buenos Aires.

I have been teaching English in groups and individually; prepared  clients for conferences, industrial exhibitions, interviews, business negotiations. Paralelly, I have been engaged in translations, editing books. I am also the chief instructional designer CPD accredited English language platform for the development of integrative thinking among C1 and proficient learners. In teaching I use commonly known Lifelong Learning approach as well as Lifewide Education principle.

Teaching Philosophy

The process of acquiring language skills is always individual, often spontaneous, subject to various momentary changes in the lives of my clients. I always try to thoroughly understand the essence of the specific interests of my clients, their knowledge and needs, because the emerging linguistic personality is unique. That is why my teaching is never limited to  textbooks and manuals. I am convinced that the most important component of effective teaching of a foreign language, in addition to the classes themselves, is the regular support of students in the continuous application of those aspects of the foreign language sphere that would be most comfortable and informative for them. Every day of our life is abundant with precious moments that can be used with even greater benefit by systematically engaging ourselves in a foreign language environment, as a result of which even the most boring and banal manifestations of the world around us may turn into an exciting game.
