Yulia has been my trusted and highly esteemed colleague and textbook co-author for many years. She is a pleasure to work with: passionate about her work, always full of great creative ideas, genuinely interested in teaching and all modern trends in teaching methodology and tools. And also, punctual, reliable, efficient, making every lesson effective and enjoyable. A truly outstanding teacher.
Where her job is concerned, Yulia can do anything: all sorts of exam preparation, general English at all levels, specialised English (law and legal English is her forte, of course!), course material development (and her materials are always fun!). Her incredible charisma complements her professionalism, and her enthusiasm for her students and their success shines through. She is one of the most popular teachers I have ever known in my professional life. Among her students — present and past — are some high flying lawyers, journalists, business people. Yulia is one of those highly qualified exclusive tutors who don’t just follow the book: every lesson is special, every course is tailor-made for a specific client/pupil, aimed at achieving the quickest progress possible and making it fun along the way. We have taught a lot of courses and private students together, so I have a first person account.
And, honestly, if I had to learn English myself again, I would ask Yulia to be my teacher. So, yes, very highly recommended!
