Some of Our TEFL Tutors And Their ESL Experience.

Alex Semakin – TEFL Tutor. Qualifications: BA TEFL. TEFL Experience: Russia and the USA.

Welcome to i-to-i’s Online TEFL! My name’s Alex, and I graduated with honors from Perm State Pedagogical (TEFL) University in Perm, Russia back in 1995.

I have worked as an interpreter in the past but chose teaching for my career because I found it to be in greater demand and more creative than translation. In Russia, teaching is a very female-dominated (99% of language teachers here are women) and consequently I was viewed as quite an oddity at first, but then began to steadily build my reputation.

In 1996 and 1997 I helped to organize several seminars for local teachers. It was then that I became fascinated by the 'Communicative' approach to TEFL, which contrasted so sharply with the traditional Soviet grammar translation style.

Since then, I have been teaching English at two Lyceums (high schools affiliated with universities). The curriculum is highly intensive: 10 hours of English a week for each group, and the students are extremely creative. A lack of classroom materials also pushes my own creativity to the limit.

Over the last few years, I have also tried my hand at a number of other roles: preparation courses for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language); teaching classes of young children; and also teaching private students whose goals are as wide as their levels of proficiency. Many of my former students now study in major Universities of Russia, the USA, Norway and the Netherlands.

I had a pause in my TEFL career back in 1998-99 when I was enrolled in the Creative Writing Program at the American University in Washington, DC. It was in the US that I also tried my hand at Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language and discovered that teaching your own language is a greater challenge than teaching a language you’ve had to learn yourself.

I am married with two children - a daughter and a son.

Judy Mabe – TEFL Tutor. Qualifications: RSA CELTA, Trinity TESOL Diploma. TEFL Experience: Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Germany and the UK.

I've been in TEFL since 1987 and have taught about 45 different nationalities.

Some of the people and places I've been to are unforgettable: the Czech Republic in 1990, when young people were so excited about their new opportunities; the hospitality of a family living in a remote Guatemalan village, whose prize possession was their Singer Sewing Machine; staying with a Russian heart and lung surgeon who smoked 100 cigarettes a day; my very first class of students, who always did their homework; the four-year-old children who loved learning new songs; and the female office workers in Verona who always looked as if they'd just come off the catwalk. I've met some great teachers too! And I remember the woman who came on a weekend i-to-i course because she'd been travelling for 4 years and had spent nearly all her savings.

Overall though, I think the most positive thing about being in TEFL for me is having some understanding of the values and beliefs of other cultures.

Katia Berntzen – TEFL Tutor. Qualifications: RSA CELTA & DELTA. TEFL Experience: Norway.

I have been working as a TEFL teacher for more than 12 years. Twelve very grateful years indeed, since I have always enjoyed teaching a great deal. I finished university in 1989 and moved to Britain in order to study and pass my Proficiency Examination, which I did! After that, I have been through a number of postgraduate and specialization courses including the CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) and DELTA (Diploma of English Language Teaching to Adults).

Over the years I have taught students of different nationalities and believe this multicultural teaching experience has positively enhanced my performance as a TEFL professional. So, I am looking forward to "getting to know" you too.
