Наши учителя

Учителя Языковой Академии – настоящие профессионалы. Помимо диплома о высшем образовании, каждый из них имеет сертификат, подтверждающий, что ими пройден и сдан курс CELTA или TESOL по обучению преподаванию английского как иностранного.

Среди преподавателей школы есть как учителя из Великобритании, Канады, США и Австралии, так и украинские профессионалы. Украинские специалисты работают, в основном, с начальными уровнями, в то время как носители языка чаще преподают на более высоких уровнях. Благодаря высокой квалификации и опыту работы учителя проводят уроки динамично, интересно и занимательно для всех студентов, независимо от их возраста и уровня владения языком.
