This was my first lesson with Mihaela. I learned the alphabet and more than 20 greeting phrases. I really loved it! I am already looking forward to our next lesson.

This was my second lesson with Mihaela and I must confess I've learnt more with her in two sessions than I did in an actual classroom with my other teachers. Bravo!

Qualifications & Experience
I have been learning English since I was in the second grade (8 years old). Besides learning English from school, I had a private teacher until I graduated from high-school. I graduated the humanistic bilingual profile (English, French). with intensive English courses. After finishing high-school, I attended University of Bucharest, Romania, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature - English-American Studies (2002-2006) My final theses was graded with a 10.
Since 2003, I have been a private tutor for English, preparing students for exams such as CAMBRIDGE (all levels). IELTS, TOEFL, SAP, etc. I have also a certificate for teaching English language, after completing the pedagogical module within the faculty years.
In the same time, I have been working as a tutor for Romanian, my native language and have successfully prepared students for various exams with low and high difficulty level, university exams, interviews, etc.
Teaching Approach
Before developing the lesson plans, you need to know the student`s need. How fast he can learn, why he is learning (specialty, just conversation, etc), how many lessons he wants to attend to, what level of knowledge he wants to achieve, etc.
I use supporting materials, from the best publishing houses, in order to make the process of learning a new language easier and nicer.
I can also teach business English, or other fields of expertise.
I offer a free first lesson, so don`t hesitate to contact me :)
Numele meu este Mihaela, am 26 de ani si momentan locuiesc in Olanda.
Am o experienta de 7 ani in preadarea limbilor straine, momentan lucrez ca si tutore si traducator.
Qualifications & Experience
M-am nascut in Romania, am urmat la liceu profilul umanistic, clasa intensiva de romana-engleza-franceza. In 2006, am terminat Facultatea de Limbi si Literaturi Straine, Universitatea Bucuresti, nota proiectului de licenta fiind 10.
Lucrez ca si tutore privat pentru limbile engleza si romana din 2003, pregatind studentii pentru diferite concursuri, olimpiade, examene, etc.
Teaching Approach
Inainte de a crea un plan de lectii, este foarte important sa cunosc nevoile studentului. Cat de repede invata, de ce invata (specializare, doar conversatie, etc.), la cate lectii vrea sa participe, nivelul de cunostinta pe care vrea sa-l atinga, etc.
Lucrez de asemenea cu materiale sustinatoare, de la cele mai bune edituri, pentru a face procesul de invatare a unei noi limbi straine mai usor si de ce nu, mai placut.
Prima lectie este gratuita, deci nu ezitatii sa ma contactati :)
