Certified EFL Teacher , Translator and Proof-reader with 5+ Years of Experience.
About me
Hello, my name is Tatiana and I am a 22-years old. I have completed a Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages at the University of Birmingham. Specialising in Spanish, Hispanic History and Cultures, and Catalan. I have been extremely fortunate to live in various countries in Europe throughout my childhood, which enabled me to learn several languages. Combining this experience with my qualifications has given me the tools necessary to develop a career in TEFL and work as a translator and proof-reader. Currently, I am based in Berlin. I work as an EFL Teacher and Translator, as well as a team member collaborating on the first ever multi-lingual website addressed to parents of children with hearing loss and other developmental diagnoses. I specialise in foreign and second language acquisition, and I pride myself on being adaptable and by exposing my students to a variety of methods and tasks within reading, listening, writing and speaking, the journey towards their language goals is a lot more attainable.

My experience
EFL/ESL Teacher
UK
I have completed a total of over 500-hours teaching online via the digital learning platform Preply. Although using a digital platform is often frowned upon, it has allowed me to transform traditional teaching methodologies, tailoring my lesson plans to the individual needs of each student. Thus, propelling their learning journey.

I firmly believe in the provision of equal education opportunities across society. Therefore, I started volunteering for Tutor the Nation, an organisation supporting students from unprivileged backgrounds throughout their GCSEs and A-levels. Since then, I have had two tutees achieve their desired grades that have allowed them to get into the college/university of their choice.
