About Arina

Hello, my name is Arina and I have been a student for a long time. I know what it’s like to crave academic success and what it takes to excel in academic subjects. My academic journey wasn’t a smooth one. After school I studied management at university but wasn’t interested in that subject at that time. I pivoted and I switched to architecture. However, that wasn’t what I expected, and I switched to Fine Arts. There I thrived and found myself in a community of like-minded people. I studied non-stop and my curiosity helped me explore the academic world, and get good results not only in Fine Arts, but also in English and international relations. I realised that the environment with like-minded people is like a land of milk and honey: it propels you to grow and expand. This is what I offer to my students now: a connection with someone who is truly invested in academic achievement.

Approach to learning

- using a range of audio-visual resources to stimulate learning and immerse the student in writing and reading processes
- meticulously analysing learning, emotional and social needs of the student and choosing a learning strategy that will address these needs
- consistently giving homework to consolidate what was learned in class and to accelerate learning
- giving feedback on specific areas that need particular attention

The more information you give me on what you would like to achieve, the better I will be able to plan each lesson and the more effective each session will be.

Location of lessons:
1. In a well-lit, spacious room in central Cambridge (close to Jesus Green) with all learning materials - coursebooks, audio-visual material, flashcards, and art and craft materials for younger learners.
