About Jelka

I bring a unique blend of academic training, translation expertise, and intercultural experience from Germany, the UK, and Canada. My teaching is grounded in empathy and the belief that emotional safety enhances intellectual growth. I integrate insights from my research on self-compassion in narrative and performance to support learners holistically.

I believe that learning thrives in an environment of kindness, clarity, and curiosity. With three years of experience teaching students from primary school to postgraduate level, I tailor each lesson to the learner’s goals, strengths, and pace—always with patience and encouragement at the core.

Teaching methodology:

Compassion: I create a safe space where mistakes are seen as part of the learning process, not setbacks.

Structure and flexibility: Lessons follow a clear progression but remain adaptable to the learner’s needs and energy on the day.

Interactive learning: I use real-world texts, translation exercises, and discussion to build confidence and deepen understanding.

Reflection: I encourage students to notice their growth and develop self-compassion as learners.

A typical lesson plan:

1. Warm-up: A short review or reflective question to ease into the session
2. Core content: Introduction of new material (grammar, vocabulary, text analysis)
3. Practice: Guided exercises, translation, or writing tasks
4. Wrap-up: Feedback, questions, and a look ahead to the next steps

Who my lessons are for:

- School pupils, university students, and adult learners
- Those preparing for exams, academic writing, or translation work
- Anyone seeking to improve their language skills in a supportive, structured, and human-centered way
