No reviews yet

Hello!

My name is Valeriya Afanasyeva. I am a qualified TEFL teacher and an interpreter/translator with a Bachelor's degree in Teaching and Translation. My overall working experience is 16 years.

In my career as an English teacher I have worked in state schools (teaching English to Grades 1-11) as well as private institutions (working with different age groups and English proficiency levels). I have also worked with several Kazakhstani companies teaching English to employees.

Currently I am specializing in teaching English to teenagers and adults.

My classes are designed according to my students' personal needs and aimed at achieving their goals in the most comfortable way and in a friendly and professional manner.

My translating experience includes working for an agricultural company, a TV channel and several translating agencies performing written translations from Russian into English and vice versa as well as working as an interpreter for business meetings (over the phone and in person).

If you are looking for a professional language instructor for whom sharing their knowledge is not just a job, but true passion, welcome to my classes!
