English tutor | IELTS 8.5 | Beginners to advanced, all ages | Practical English for work, study and everyday life

Ho conosciuto Viktoria tramite Superprof mentre cercavo un'insegnante di inglese che potesse aiutarmi a migliorare sia la conversazione sia la grammatica.

Apprezzo molto il suo approccio all'insegnamento: le lezioni sono sempre ben organizzate, coinvolgenti e adattate alle mie esigenze e ai miei obiettivi. È paziente, preparata e riesce a spiegare anche gli argomenti più complessi in modo semplice e chiaro, creando un ambiente rilassato in cui è facile fare domande e imparare.

Grazie alle lezioni con Viktoria ho acquisito maggiore sicurezza nel parlare inglese e ho notato progressi concreti nel mio livello. Consiglio vivamente Viktoria a chiunque cerchi un'insegnante competente, professionale e attenta alle esigenze dei propri studenti.

Victoria has been my tutor for over 2 years and I have met her through a mutual friend, who recommended her for her teaching skills and integrity with which she approached work. As long as I can remember, I had trouble expressing my thoughts and opinions in English, and after the first two months I spent studying with Victoria, my friends had already noticed the difference. Her approach to teaching, how she understands the student and guides them to their next goal is exactly why I am able to write this passage effortlessly and without AI.

I'm recommending Viktoria based on direct experience of what she can do as a teacher, not just as someone I know well.

When I was preparing to defend my master's thesis in English, she agreed to help me rehearse. I assumed she'd be a friendly audience and tell me it sounded fine. Instead she sat through the whole presentation, took notes the entire time, and then went through them with me point by point. Which phrasings sounded wrong to a native ear. Which sentences were doing no work. Which questions the committee was almost certainly going to ask, and what I should say when they did. We ran it again a few days later and she still found things.

The defense went great. The faculty gave me full marks on the final presentation, and I'm fairly sure that wouldn't have happened on my own.

Her English is excellent and she uses it in demanding situations. She did Model UN, which meant building arguments in English under pressure and delivering them to a room that wasn't necessarily on her side. She also writes regularly on Substack, in English, so you can go and read her work rather than take my word for it.

She learned English rather than growing up with it, which I think makes her better at teaching it, not worse. She remembers which parts are hard and why, and she can explain a rule instead of just telling you it sounds wrong. She picks up languages much faster than most people and has thought a lot about how she does it.

What actually makes her a good teacher is something else, though. She can hear where your English is going wrong and tell you how to fix it without making you feel bad about it. She takes a vague sense of "I'm nervous and I don't know why this isn't working" and turns it into a short list of things you can actually go and practice.

If you're looking for someone to work on your English with, especially speaking and writing, I'd recommend her without hesitation.
