About Elena

Charismatic teacher who brings enjoyment and inspiration and helps to fulfill students' ambitions, delivering bespoke individually tailored lessons.

I hold a B.Ed degree with Honours in Linguistics, English and Applied Psychology from The Pyatigorsk State Linguistic University, PGCE ( QTS) in MFL ( German/ French/ Russian) from Bath Spa University, PhD in Linguistics and MBA (International Business) from the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. I am also a Chartered Linguist/Educator, accredited translator (German/Russian) and a full member at the Chartered Institute of Linguists, London. I have extensive overseas experience in teaching foreign languages and university administration in Australia, Germany, the Middle East and the UK.
I permanently reside in Cirencester, UK with my family, my husband and two teenage boys. In my spare time I play piano and accordion, enjoy gardening, walking and travelling

About the lesson

My teaching approach blends my own research on emotional attachment and online learning with work by Barry Smith and Dr. Gianfranco Conti. I provide students with translations, so they do not have to ‘guess’ and have a scaffold on which to build. I find that students build confidence to use phrases with lots of guided practice. During the initial stages of learning, my approach is quite controlled, with significant teacher input (reading aloud lots, as opposed to textbook type listening). With the ‘control’ slowly being taken away at a later stage (images instead of words/picture stories), students develop ‘self-efficacy’ leading to increased engagement and improved learning results.
My Russian and German lessons are underpinned by sound pedagogy and use advanced instructional techniques. I carefully select authentic resources that build new, but also recycle acquired language, so students can engage in spontaneous communication for target language fluency.
