English Language TeacherMy hobbies/interests. Work is my hobby and my hobby is my work - I love getting to know my students, seeing their progress - it is a real privilege to be a part of people's lives like that. I love travelling and getting to know new cultures. I also like interacting with people learning positive new things to do.
My educational background. I have a BA in Psychology and Education (University of Latvia) and a MA (with Merit) in Advertising and Marketing Communications (Bournemouth University). In 2006 I did my CELTA (the University of Cambridge) at ITTC (the UK) which gave me more confidence that this is the job I like and want to do.
My teaching experience. I honestly and truly believe that teaching is what I was born to do. I completely loved my experiene working for Kings Colleges (the UK) teaching English to international students from all over the world. Later I joined International House (one of the oldest groups of language schools with over 150 affiliated private language schools in 52 countries all over the world). At the moment I run my own school here in Liepāja where I teach English to all ages and levels and, absolutely LOVE it!What do you like most about ANG school. The thing I like most about working at ANG school is its warm, friendly, family-like atmosphere.

Indra
English and Latvian Language TeacherHi there, my name is Indra,
I was born and raised in Latvia, however, since primary school I have been enjoying acquiring languages and learning about different cultures. Although I have studied four languages, my one true love is English; therefore, I decided to pursue studies at the University of Latvia receiving a bachelor’s degree in English Philology.
I have been teaching English for several years and in this time I have understood that being a teacher is not just an occupation, it is a lifestyle; therefore, I am delighted to work at ANG school with like-minded colleagues.
If you asked me, what is the greatest advantage of this language school, I would have to admit that it is the teachers’ attitude. In ANG school, we care that our students reach their fullest potentials. Even though each teacher has a unique personality, brought together we have created an excellent team where every person’s strongest skills and qualities are put to use complimenting one another. The positive and cheerful atmosphere is brought also in the classroom where every student is appreciated and supported.

Helen
English Language Teacher Hi, I am Helen!
I’m from a small town called Widnes in the North of England, just near
Liverpool. I’ve travelled quite a bit, and I love learning about new
cultures and history. A little while ago, I decided to combine this with
my
interest in the English language and took up teaching English. I
decided I’d like to move to Latvia as my grandmother was born in Liepaja
and I’m really excited to find out more about the country and my
family.
I enjoy reading,
writing, music, and anything artistic. I’m interested in photography,
and enjoy walking and finding new places to explore.
My dreams and ambitions: I’m hoping to
travel and meet some great new people, while learning more about
different cultures, and improving my own language skills.
My educational background: I have a BA in filmmaking, and I am qualified as a TEFL teacher.
My teaching experience: I worked for a
year in Poland teaching students from 6 years old and up, at all
different levels. I have experience with teaching classes and groups, as
well as one -to-one lessons, and teaching business English.
I also volunteered with a youth group who travelled on pilgrimage each
year, and I was a responsible adult for this group.
What do you like most about ANG school: I
haven't started working at the school yet, but I like the sense of
community and friendship that the school has, as well as the great range
of students and the teachers at the school.
I’m
looking forward to teaching at ANG school because it seems to be a great
place where everyone is looking to help each other, and that I will be
able to improve and work on my skills as a teacher,
all while being able to explore a new and interesting place.
