Work experience:

School #7, Simferopol, Crime, Ukraine 2009-2011
At School #7 (Public School), I conducted mostly speaking practice classes with grades 5 through 11. A typical class was about 45 minutes, and my task was to choose any topic of my own that was interesting and turn it into a speaking class. My classes often included a lot of vocabulary and even grammar, but the focus was on speaking, or rather practicing their English skills. Class size varied anywhere from 5-30 pupils.

Lingvist Private School, Simferopol, Crimea, Ukraine 2009-2014
At Lingvust, I conducted both individual and group lessons. My individual lessons were adapted to the student's needs and could be anything from strict grammar classes to pure speaking lessons. My group classes were typically 90 minutes in duration and included a little bit of grammar, vocabulary and discussion during the 90 minutes I had. I chose my own materials and could design the classes as I saw fit.

NES (Native English School) Kyiv, Ukraine 2014-2020
At NES, which was a private school, I had vocabulary/reading classes where we read an article from a newspaper and then focused on the new vocabulary, grammar classes which consisted of theory and practice, and speaking classes which often started with a little vocabulary and then we discussed some topic. Group size was anywhere from 2-8 people. I also had a lot of private students at NES.

Bright School Kyiv, Ukraine 2021-until the present
At Bright School, my group classes are primarily with teenagers. We are required to follow course materials which are textbooks from Cambridge or possibly other well-known publishers. Classes are usually 90 minutes and group size is usually 5-8 students. I also have private students at Bright School which are given a lesson plan that suits them best, anything from grammar to vocabulary to speaking.
