Моя экспертиза подтверждена ведущими институциями Европы:
- Cambridge Advanced Postgraduate Certificate in Educational Assessment (2020-2021): профессиональная квалификация в области образовательного оценивания, полученная в партнерстве с Cambridge Assessment English (организацией-разработчиком и правообладателем экзамена IELTS). Это дает мне компетенцию детально оценивать письменные и устные работы студентов строго по официальным критериям экзамена.
- Старший преподаватель (Senior Lecturer) в Haaga-Helia UAS (Хельсинки): с 2014 года я преподаю в самом известном в Финляндии университете прикладных наук Хаага-Хелиа. Готовлю студентов бакалавриата и магистратуры по направлениям International Business, IT, Aviation Business, Hospitality и Tourism. Ежегодно - член приемной комиссии.
- Подтверждение квалификации от Opetushallitus: моя магистерская степень (Master's Degree) официально нострифицирована и валидирована Национальным агентством по образованию Финляндии. Я сама прошла процедуру иммиграции, подтверждения диплома и педагогической доквалификации в финской системе образования (в 2 ВУЗах).
Cambridge-trained, Finland-tested
Я — лингвистический коуч и специалист по зарубежному образованию. Более 10 лет я работаю в сердце европейской академической системы и помогаю студентам, абитуриентам и профессионалам преодолевать языковой барьер, сдавать международные экзамены и интегрироваться в глобальную англоязычную среду.
Сотрудничество с экзаменатором IELTS и экспертами
Для меня супер важно постоянно отслеживать и транслировать, куда движется сфера образования за рубежом. Большой честью и рывком вперед стала работа с Ms Maria Copot, бывшим супервайзером the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages в Кембриджском Университете. Она оказала серьезное влияние как аудитор качества услуг EduLingo и Digital IELTS.
Экспертная экосистема: в рамках подготовки студентов я сотрудничаю с действующим IELTS-экзаменатором секций Writing и Speaking с 11-летним стажем проверки экзаменационных работ, что дает четкое понимание уровня по всем критериям оценки IELTS.This is how Digital English was conceived.

Digital IELTS is a course designed to help you improve your English with the IELTS exam in mind. You can adapt it to fit your personal time frame and review the challenging modules until you have mastered them
The course covers all the core topics
Skills, structures and lexicon that you will need to reward you with the score you are looking for, and gives you a number of exciting practice opportunities. The cherry on top is instant feedback on your pronunciation with state-of-the art-software, which you won't find anywhere else!
- SpeakingOur students aim to improve their pronunciation and intonation. They want to sound like native English speakers. They can choose between the British or American dialect. Fluency is our primary target.
- Listeningin a world in which knowledge of English is increasingly taken for granted, it's important to be able to keep up with speech in all sorts of settings and on all sorts of topics. Our students are provided with extensive practice opportunities to prepare them for the real thing.
- ReadingEvery trade has plenty of resources to learn from and plenty of means to exchange ideas. To convert these from overwhelming walls of text into useful tools, our students are taught to optimise their reading strategy to achieve the perfect balance between speed and comprehension.
- GrammarBad grammar at best distracts from the message, and at worst compromises its content. We give our students the means to communicate accurately and elegantly.
- WritingGood ideas and a sharp intellect are hard to come by, which is why you will want to have the tools to put them on paper in a way that does them justice. Our course covers the ins and outs of structure and style to empower our students to share their thoughts.
