About me

I have experience tutoring English privately for eight years. I have worked with elementary and high school students, grammar school students, and adults. I tutor both online and in person, but I prefer in-person lessons for better interaction and student engagement. I hold a Cambridge English Certificate (CPE) at the C2 level. Additionally, my practice has included interpreting and text translation.
I teach children by combining grammar with conversation or games. It’s important to me that they have a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary, which they can build on for writing and communication. I assign short projects and homework to ensure that they engage with the language between our lessons. My priority is for them to develop a connection with English— I help them find it through their interests, such as reading, watching movies or videos, or playing games. With adults, I focus on topics and grammar that interest them and are relevant to their job.

What we learned when we met Kristína
from verification interview with Hlídačky.sk

Kristína sa aktívne venuje doučovaniu anglického jazyka, z ktorého je držiteľkou certifikátu C2 úroveň. Doučuje deti i dospelých (osobne/online).
Príležitostne stráži aj zvieratká (psy/mačky) v ich domovoch. Vo svojom voľnom čase sa venuje hudbe, spevu, rada si prečíta dobrú knihu či vybehne na prechádzku.


How Kristína handles everyday situations

You are about to look after 5 years old Anna from Prague. She has been going to kindergarten for a year and her mum and dad need to have a rest and go for the trip together on Saturday. You know Anna has been looked after only by her mum's sister, she would not last long for the book and enjoys any movement the most. The parents won't have any special requirements for the daily schedule leaving it completely up to you. What is your common Saturday going to look like?

Ak by bolo pekné počasi, obliekli by sme sa a išli von. Na prechádzku, na ihrisko, na zmrzku - čokoľvek by Aničku zaujalo. Ak by bolo horšie počasie, mohli by sme ísť do galérie alebo centra s detským programom. Vrátili by sme sa domov, a dali by sme si obed. POtom by sme mohli chvíľu pozerať rozprávku, hrať hru alebo skúsiť tú knihu (aspoň na čas, ktorý to Anička vydrží.) Hru by som vyberala podľa toho, čo rada hrá/s čím sa rada hrá. Či má rada puzzle, hračky, bábiky, zvieratká, spoločenské hry, alebo niečo ako skovka. Mohli by sme skúsiť viac aktivít, spontánne vybrať. Ak Anička poobede spí, snažila by som sa s ňou dodržať tento jej zvyk, aj časovo. Po spánku by som sa zaujímala či chce niečo ako olovrant, či je hladná smädná alebo niečo nepotrebuje. Mohli by sme pozerať rozprávku, napadlo mi, že niečo by sme mohli aj vyrábať, kresliť si. Pred príchodom rodičov by som dala pozor na to, či je ako-tak po našich hrách upratané.

You are at the sandpit with Anna enjoying not only playing at climbing frames but also making sand cakes. Anna is sitting calmly trying to prepare a confectionery pleasure. She is holding a sifter in her hand "sugaring" the sand cake. Suddenly, a little girl approximately at the same age comes to her, takes the sifter and is going to play with it herself. Anna is really unhappy and looks as she is going to cry. How are you going to solve the situation?

Prídem k dievčatku, ktoré zobralo sitko a snažím sa mu vysvetliť, že ho zobralo, a preto by bolo dobré, ak by sa Aničky opýtalo, prípadne sa snažím premostiť situáciu medzi dvoma slečnami, aby sa o sitko delili. Chvíľku nech ho pouůzíva jedna, chvíľku druhá. Ak by druhé devčatko nespolupracovalo, Aničku by som sa snažila utešiť a previesť jej pozornosť na iný predmet, s ktorým by sa mohla hrať a tvoriť. Pomohla by som jej, možno by som chvíľu niečo stavala tiež vedľa nej a opýtala sa či si môžem jej predmet požičiať, aby videla že zdieľanie so súhlasom je ok.

You have agreed with the parents they would come back home in the evening to make their daughter fall asleep. Half an hour before they should arrive, the desperate mother is calling you she has been stuck in traffic on the highway and they will certainly not be able to arrive on time. There is going to be a serious delay and there is nobody to substitute for them. Anna is quite tired of the all-day rollicking and she is asking for her parents. How are you going to cope with the situation?

Povedala by som, že na Aničku dám pozor kým prídu, a uložím ju spať. Dala by som mamičku Aničke k telefónu. Kontakt s ňou by ju mohol upokojiť a uistiť, že rodičia naozaj prídu, len neskôr. Dohodla by som sa s rodičmi na extra zaplatenom čase, kým prídu. Takáto situácia je pre mňa pochopiteľná, nedala sa predvídať, a samozrejme by som dieťa nenechala samé a neodišla. - snažila by som sa zariadiť si veci, aby som mohla ostať do ich príchodu.
