About Arina
Do you want to communicate more confidently in English at work, in everyday life in the UK or in an important exam?
I can help you develop practical Business English, improve your English pronunciation and spoken confidence, or build the English you need after moving to the UK. If you are preparing for TOEFL, I can also help you understand the exam, practise the skills you need and develop effective strategies for test day.
Whatever your starting point, your goals, experience and individual way of learning are central to our lessons.
I’m a DELTA-qualified English language teacher with 10 years of teaching experience, and I work with adult learners from a wide range of linguistic, cultural and professional backgrounds.
ESOL for life in the UK
Have you recently moved to the UK and want to feel more at ease using English in everyday situations?
Develop the practical English you need for conversations at work, social situations, appointments, dealing with services and navigating life in an English-speaking environment.
Lessons can include purposeful speaking practice based on situations that are relevant to your life, alongside vocabulary, grammar, listening and pronunciation. We can explore the language and communication strategies that allow you to participate more comfortably and independently in your new environment.
Business English
Do you want to communicate more effectively and confidently in your professional life?
I have taught Business English and English for Specific Purposes to professionals working in fields including law, education, psychology, engineering, environmental science, accounting, HR, marketing, UX and design.
We can develop the language you need for meetings, presentations, emails, interviews, networking, workplace conversations and professional discussions.
Lessons can be shaped around your profession, your responsibilities and the situations in which you use English daily. The focus is on giving you the language, strategies and confidence to communicate effectively in your own professional context.
Pronunciation & spoken confidence
Would you like your spoken English to feel more natural, clear and comfortable?
Develop greater control over your pronunciation, word stress, sentence stress and intonation, while becoming more confident expressing yourself in English.
Pronunciation work should be purposeful and personal. We can identify the features of your pronunciation that you would like to refine and work on them systematically, with opportunities to practise them in meaningful communication.
TOEFL preparation
Are you preparing for the TOEFL iBT and working towards a particular score?
Build a clear understanding of the examination, practise the four skills and develop effective strategies for approaching different task types.
Our lessons can include focused speaking and writing practice, reading and listening activities, detailed feedback, vocabulary and language development, and targeted exam strategies. We can identify the areas that will make the greatest difference to your performance and build your preparation around your particular goals.
How I teach
You bring your own experiences, knowledge, goals and perspective to the learning process. My role is to provide the expertise, structure and feedback that allow you to make meaningful progress towards what you want to achieve.
I begin by understanding your current level, goals, priorities and individual learning needs. From there, lessons are carefully planned around you.
Depending on your objectives, we may work with authentic materials, realistic communication tasks, structured speaking practice, vocabulary and grammar development, pronunciation work, writing, listening or exam tasks.
You will have opportunities to practise, experiment with language, ask questions and develop greater independence as a learner. If useful, I can provide homework and additional practice to support your progress between lessons.
I have taught English continuously since 2016, in Australia, Poland and the UK, and have worked with learners from many different linguistic, cultural and professional backgrounds.
Other English and exam support
Although here I focus particularly on ESOL, Business English, pronunciation and TOEFL, I also have experience teaching General English, Academic English, IELTS, PTE Academic, Cambridge English examinations and OET.
If your goals do not fit neatly into one category, you are welcome to describe what you would like to achieve. We can then consider what kind of lessons and learning approach would be most appropriate for you.

I love to learn water colour painting with Arina. Even for a short period of time, she has taught me basic painting techniques that I can use on my own. She taught me the proper way of how the water colours must be applied to the paper. As a beginner, I find it easy to do it on my own now that I am back in Indonesia.

Arina is my enlightenment tutor on Russian language. She made beautiful slides and taught me the abcs of Russian alphabet, pronunciation and vocabulary. We had the class via Zoom video meeting.
What's really impressive is that she observes my mouth shapes and uses very funny and creative ways to show me how to position the tongue to get the right sound. And she knows exactly why I cannot pronounce certain sounds, and gives practical methods and practices with me on stretching my tongue and my oral muscles for pronouncing the exciting new syllables :-) She is as patient and dedicated as a mama tutoring her murmuring child.
Besides being a bilingual language teacher, Arina is also an artist and practices a creative and authentic lifestyle. She has unique and insightful expressions about life, and would put this creative and artistic part of her into teaching. This means she treats each and every one of her students as a unique individual, and tailors her teaching for the student's specialised needs.
Arina is also a high level gymnast, she is strictly self-disciplined and resilient both physically and emotionally. She keeps wild curiosity for life and has insightful observations for the people around her, this gifted characteristic of her enables impressive and innovative interactions in her class.

Arina was our tutor at Trinity Hall College, and we were a diverse group of students with varying levels of English proficiency. Her teaching style was engaging and easy to understand for everyone, and the exercises she gave us were particularly enjoyable, especially when working in pairs. I hope she will be tutoring us in the future as well.
