Helen M. Half price first lesson

Hi there! A little bit about me: I teach Japanese language and history to anyone who's interested, as well as English and Estonian to those preparing for exams or simply looking to improve their language skills! I’ve lived and studied in Japan and travelled all across Europe to learn about different cultures, people, and much more. As an art lover, I approach everything in life creatively, and I love writing and drawing whatever inspires me! :) I look forward to meeting you in class and exploring languages and so many other interesting things together! :) A little about me :) I’m Helen, and I teach Japanese language and history to anyone who’s interested, as well as English and Estonian to students preparing for exams and international students. I’ve lived and studied in Japan and travelled extensively around Europe, where I’ve taken part in various educational programs in pedagogy and esotericism. As an art lover, I enjoy approaching situations creatively and writing and drawing whatever inspires me. Come to class and let’s learn about languages and lots of other interesting things together! See you soon :)

When starting to learn a language, I recommend taking 3–5 lessons per week, then 2–3. I teach in a fairly relaxed style. To make learning Japanese and English more effective and enjoyable, I also share stories that help put the language into context, since both languages are quite different from Estonian in nature. The beginning is usually a little more technical, but once you reach a certain level—as soon as possible—I like to work on creative tasks and integrate the language into everyday life. I also offer lessons specifically for preparing for the Cambridge Advanced English exam and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (levels N5–N2). If you have a particular topic or challenge you’d like to work on, I’ll be happy to discuss it and tailor the lessons to your specific needs. Keeleõppega on alustades soovitatav tundide arv nädalas 3-5, edaspidi 2-3. Õpetan üpris vabas stiilis ja jaapani ning inglise keele tõhusamaks ja meeldivamaks õppeks räägin juurde ka lugusid, et keel paremini konteksti asetada, kuna olemuselt erineb see eesti keelest üpris palju. Algus on tavaliselt veidi tehnilisem, kuid teatud keeletaseme omandamisel (nii pea kui võimalik) meeldib mulle töötada loovate ülesannetega ning keele integreerimisega oma igapäeva ellu. Pakun ka õpet spetsiifiliselt Cambridge Advanced English ja Japanese Language Proficiency Testiks (tasemed N5-N2) valmistumiseks. Kui õpilasel on teatud kindel teema või probleem, mida lahendada soovitakse, võtan ka seda kindlasti kuulda ning kujundan tunnid iga õpilase konkreetsete vajaduste järgi.
