Advanced English + Methodology

I use various online platforms to ensure a comfortable learning experience for my students. The top three tools we use in class are Zoom, Miro, and Padlet.
My main priority is to help learners achieve their goals. That's why I carefully analyse students' needs and tailor our program accordingly.
I strongly believe there's no magic pill to learn a language "in just 6 months". My classes are based on internationally recognized methods and approaches such as the communicative approach, lexical approach, Dogme, Task-based learning, and more. We place a particular emphasis on revision, emergent language, and authentic connections among learners.
I believe that visually appealing materials and interactive tools are an excellent way to make lessons more engaging and fascinating.

About me
I’m a self-employed English teacher with over 5 years of experience. Teaching has become my true passion since I enrolled in the magistracy program at Moscow State Pedagogical University back in 2020. I now hold a Master's degree in TEFL (Modern Technologies in Teaching English) and Cambridge CAE.
For me learning is a never-ending process, so I regularly take part in the workshops and courses organised by fellow colleagues (CPE course, Teaching High-Level students course, book clubs, etc). In June 2023 I gave a talk at 'I Wish I Knew' Charity Conference where I shared my expertise with over 1000 fellow teachers!
My ultimate goal is not only to help learners achieve their goals in English, but also to help teachers grow professionally. I have organised various reading / speaking Clubs for teachers so that we could enhance practical knowledge of TESOL in a community of ultimate professionals. Apart from that, I run 1-to-1 consultations for teachers on methodology and blogging. You might also know me because of my blog fluency.dc where I share free ELT tips, tailor-made materials, and resources.

Feedback
- IrinaSpeakUp ClubI really enjoy the friendly vibe of the club meetings! Everyone is super supportive and I feel like I can be open and share my thoughts and ideas without being judged. I like that our classes are jam-packed with a lot of juicy expressions, and Daria gives us various activities to remember new words. I also like the wide range of topics covered in the club, especially it is cool to listen to different perspectives and experiences on different topics.
- ValeriaС1 group, SpeakUp ClubI like the way the material is structured, it's just amazing. So easy to navigate through! Miro and other apps shorten time for searching and help to keep everything in one place. I also adore the feedback given, it makes me feel confident and gives a sense that we go through together, and Daria is always ready to help.
As for the Speaking Club, it seems to me that Daria has managed to gather the coolest girls together. Aaand what I appreciate most is that we have the opportunity to discuss our concerns and choose any topics we like. - KhadizhaPET exam preparationI really enjoy our lessons. Time in class goes very quickly. Studying material with only tasks from textbooks is boring and uninteresting, so I like that we learn various topics or answer questions with the help of interesting games Daria creates. I didn’t even notice how a year of classes has passed. This year we have prepared very well for the exam and I am glad that I passed it with a great result.
- EkaterinaB2 GroupI love Daria's ability to combine speaking and grammar explanations! It was my desire to practice my speaking skills and to make my speech more diverse at the same time. What is more, every lesson is very exciting in terms of information in it and visual design - it is always seen how much time is spent to prepare them! The most important thing that I have achieved and continue achieving through our lessons - my satisfaction with my speech, with understanding that my vocabulary is growing and that it becomes easier and easier to “find English words in my head”😅
