About Olga

I am an experienced teacher with a PhD in English Literature. I have worked at several universities, mainly in Cyprus and in the UK. My experience includes teaching at the English Preparatory School (all levels from elementary to upper-intermediate), Dept. of English Language Teaching, Dept. of English Language and Literature and the Dept. of Translation and Interpretation (English-Turkish). I also tutored secondary school students and adults from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds (Russian, Greek, British, Turkish, etc.). Alongside full-time teaching, I have been working as a freelance translator / interpreter (English-Turkish / Turkish-English) on a part-time basis for more than 5 years now. I have extensive experience in consecutive interpreting in particular, as well as simultaneous interpreting and written translations.

About the lesson

As a language teacher and a language learner myself, I am aware that everyone learns at their own pace and everyone learns in different ways. Therefore, addressing the needs of each student individually is crucial to my teaching approach. It is true that language learning takes time and commitment but online teaching has transformed the learning experience in such a way that, with the help of developing technology and the internet, you can accelerate your learning much faster than you can with traditional teaching methods. Some of the key elements in accelerated learning that I adapt in my teaching methodology are as follows: Flipped Classroom: In contrast to conventional teaching methods, students are provided with class material prior to the lesson. This allows them to practice what they have learned during classroom discussions and activities. Task-based Approach: Traditional teaching approaches focused on the content that teachers thought their students needed to learn. This included a lot of emphasis on grammar. Task-based approach, on the other hand, focuses on the skills that the students want to acquire. The teacher no longer focuses on 'what' is taught but 'why' it is taught. Lexical Syllabus: In line with the task-based approach, lexical syllabus focuses on the vocabulary that the student needs to learn in order to perform a specific task. For example, the word 'asset' is essential for a business student, similarly, 'biopsy' is an essential word for a medical student. My approach allows me to connect with students' previous learning experiences and knowledge and increase their reflection between what they learn and their life experiences. Overall, it is a student-centered, interactive, collaborative and communicative approach.
