About Serena
My name is Serena and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree at the University of Foreign Languages, with a specialization in English. I am a passionate and committed tutor with experience in working with students of different ages and language levels. I am also certified by the Grapeseed Program, a proven and child-friendly English teaching method that builds strong communication skills through a natural learning process. I approach each lesson with professionalism, preparation, and a positive attitude. My goal is not only to help students improve their English, but also to make them feel confident and motivated throughout their learning journey. I take the time to understand each student’s needs and adapt my methods accordingly, ensuring that every session is effective, engaging, and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and qualified English tutor who truly cares about your progress, I would be happy to work with you!

As a tutor, I focus on creating a student-centered and interactive learning environment. My teaching method combines clear explanations with practical exercises, games, and real-life examples to make English both understandable and enjoyable. I use communicative and inductive techniques, helping students discover language patterns naturally rather than memorizing rules.
A typical lesson starts with a warm-up activity (vocabulary review or speaking prompt), followed by a focused skill session (grammar, listening, reading, or writing), and ends with a fun application exercise or conversation practice. I also include short assessments to track progress and adjust the lesson plan accordingly.
What sets me apart is my certification from the Grapeseed Program, a method known for its success in teaching English as a second language, especially to younger learners. I bring patience, creativity, and enthusiasm into each session, adapting my approach to suit the needs and learning style of every student.
My lessons are ideal for:
Primary and secondary school students (all levels)
Beginners and intermediate learners who want to improve their English
Students preparing for school exams or aiming to strengthen specific skills (grammar, speaking, writing, etc.)
Learners who need a supportive and structured environment to build confidence in English
I believe learning a language should be a positive and empowering experience—and I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
