About Mischa
Please note, I am currently offering lessons at 30% off my normal rate. I am a top-tier tutor for most of the major London tutoring agencies, which would normally charge around £100/hour for my services, but I am able to offer a much lower rate on here without the agency's cut. I have been tutoring for over 15 years, specialising in private tutoring, but also with sessional and Associate tutoring positions at The Poetry School, Birkbeck College (University of London) and various private language schools. I have teaching experience at all ages and levels, and including SEN experience (autism, dyslexia and dyscalculia). I have prepared students for: 4+ (for Dulwich Prep & Alleyn’s) 7+ (for Colet Court, KCS Wimbledon, Dulwich College & Dulwich Prep) 10+ (Whitgift and Emmanuel) 11+ and pre-test (for Alleyn’s, JAGS, Westminster, City of London Boys, City of London Girls, Francis Holland, Queen’s College London, Blackheath High School, St Paul's Girls School, Wetherby & University College School) 13+ (for Dulwich College, Trinity, Alleyn’s, St Olave’s, Wilson’s School & Wallington) GCSE and IGCSE (WJEC, CIE, AQA, OCR). Set texts covered include: The Tempest, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, I’m the King of the Castle, Purple Hibiscus, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and the poetry of Thomas Hardy, Ted Hughes and Gillian Clarke. I have also helped students build literacy and numeracy skills, and general confidence, at Nursery and Key Stage 1 & 2 level, and find tutoring children at this early stage of development interesting and rewarding.

My own love of learning carries through into my teaching, where I try to create the same enthusiasm and interest in my students. I am particularly sympathetic to students who are uncomfortable about simply following rules and learning things for no apparent reason, and I try to encourage students to challenge assumptions, think for themselves, and generally see learning as a creative process rather than a passive one. I teach using a combination of reputable textbooks (Bond, New Headway etc.), my own supplementary material, online learning aids and spaced repetition techniques. For exam preparation I have experience with most of the major exams, and will tailor the lessons towards your specific goals.

Mischa is an excellent tutor. He clearly has the knowledge to be an effective tutor but his real skill is in communicating and encouraging my 10 year old to learn. We have focused more recently on piano lessons, and have seen huge progress as well as a positive and enjoyable attitude, built on Mischa's encouragement.
Mischa tutored my son for a more then a year on a weekly basis and we remained in touch for occassional "one-off" sessions. My son has made great progress, both in his literacy skills and in his general confidence.
It was a great to find someone so patient and calm with a great approach which gained my son's respect and trust in short period of time.
Mischa is also very good at giving constructive feedback and detailed reports if requested.Mischa is undoubtedly the most efficient English teacher I've ever met. His flexibility, experience, knowledge and know-how allowed me to get the highest mark in English (17/20).
I often say that I passed a difficult and state-of-the-art exam thanks to him.Now I can say that I am enjoying learning English. I like his teaching style as well as his personality (kind, wise, humorous…). He always tries to meet my needs and teaches me how to improve my English on my own. If anyone is hesitant about taking skype lessons, I would also say that they help you not to be afraid of telephone conversations in English, which is good practice.
Great teacher!, he helped me to improve my speaking skills and grammar problems. He is very suitable, I needed a special method and he adapted himself to my demand.
Great teacher, many teaching methods adapted to your requirements (if you prefer to talk, to prepare a test, etc), flexible time and also it is possible to have skype lessons (which is great if you are away)...and a very nice person.
