About Arina
Develop your English language skills with an experienced teacher
Would you like to develop your vocabulary, speaking, writing, reading or listening skills?
I’m a DELTA-qualified English language teacher with 10 years of teaching experience, working with learners from a wide range of linguistic, cultural and professional backgrounds. I have taught in Australia, Poland and the UK, and have worked with both adults and young learners at different stages of their English-language development.
My approach is centred on understanding what you want to achieve and identifying the language skills that will help you get there. Whether you want to become more confident in conversation, expand your vocabulary, improve your writing, understand texts more easily or strengthen your listening skills, lessons can be shaped around your individual goals.
Developing the four skills — and the vocabulary that connects them
I have extensive experience teaching speaking, listening, reading and writing, both as individual skills and in combination.
For example, we might work on:
• Vocabulary — expanding your range of words and expressions, understanding how they are used in context, and developing the ability to use new language actively
• Speaking — developing fluency, accuracy, pronunciation and confidence through purposeful communication
• Listening — developing strategies for understanding different speakers, accents, speeds of speech and types of spoken English
• Reading — developing comprehension, reading strategies, vocabulary and the ability to understand different types of texts
• Writing — developing structure, vocabulary, grammar, accuracy, style and the ability to communicate ideas effectively
These skills naturally support one another. For example, developing your vocabulary can strengthen both your speaking and writing, while reading and listening provide opportunities to encounter new language in meaningful contexts. Lessons can therefore combine skills where this is useful, rather than treating each area in isolation.
General English and communication
I have taught General English to learners with a wide range of goals, from developing everyday communication to strengthening English for study, work and life in an English-speaking environment.
Lessons can include conversation, vocabulary development, reading and listening activities, writing practice, grammar, pronunciation and work with authentic texts and audio. The balance depends on what you want to develop and how you use English in your life.
I also have extensive experience teaching Business English and English for Specific Purposes to professionals working in fields including psychology, education, accounting, geology, environmental science, engineering, law, UX, design, marketing, branding and HR.
Academic English and writing
Alongside General English, I have extensive experience developing academic writing and study skills.
I have worked with learners on essays, reports, reflective and critical analysis, grant proposals and multimodal assignments, including developing structure, vocabulary, grammar, style, research, referencing, drafting, proofreading and editing.
I also have experience teaching reading comprehension, literary analysis and persuasive and creative writing, including work with school-age learners preparing for school entrance examinations and GCSE English Language.
Examination experience
I have prepared learners for a wide range of English-language examinations, including IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced, C2 Proficiency and OET.
This experience has given me a detailed understanding of the different language skills and strategies required across examination contexts.
Experience across cultures and age groups
I have taught continuously since 2016, in Sydney, Kraków and London, and have worked with learners from many different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
I value creating a positive learning environment in which learners can ask questions, experiment with language, practise new skills and develop greater independence and confidence.

A lesson built around the English you want to develop
Before we meet, you can tell me about your goals, context and the situations in which you use English. I then consider what will be most useful for you and prepare the lesson around your specific goals and needs.
Lessons can focus on one particular area or combine several skills. For example, you might want to:
• develop your vocabulary for everyday, academic or professional communication
• practise speaking and become more confident expressing yourself in English
• strengthen your listening and develop strategies for understanding spoken English
• improve your reading and work with different types of texts
• develop your writing, from everyday communication to academic or professional writing
• work on several of these areas together, allowing speaking, listening, reading, writing and vocabulary to reinforce one another
• bring a particular question, piece of writing, text, or situation that you would like to work on
Lessons are structured and purposeful, with activities chosen for a reason and connected to the English you actually need to use. I can provide lesson plans, resources, homework and detailed feedback where these will support your progress. As you develop, I can adjust the focus and level of challenge to reflect your changing needs.
Lesson formats
• One-to-one lessons for adults and young learners
• Online lessons
• Face-to-face lessons in central Cambridge
• Lessons for pairs or small groups, where learners have compatible goals and levels
English for different purposes
Although this profile focuses on developing your vocabulary, speaking, writing, reading and listening skills, lessons can also be adapted to particular contexts, including:
• General English
• Business English and English for Specific Purposes
• Academic English
• ESOL and English for life in the UK
• IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge English examinations and OET
You can also bring a specific goal, situation, question, or task in English that you would like to work on. If you are not sure which type of lesson would be most appropriate, you can describe what you would like to achieve when you enquire, and we can consider the most suitable approach.

I love to learn water colour painting with Arina. Even for a short period of time, she has taught me basic painting techniques that I can use on my own. She taught me the proper way of how the water colours must be applied to the paper. As a beginner, I find it easy to do it on my own now that I am back in Indonesia.

Arina is my enlightenment tutor on Russian language. She made beautiful slides and taught me the abcs of Russian alphabet, pronunciation and vocabulary. We had the class via Zoom video meeting.
What's really impressive is that she observes my mouth shapes and uses very funny and creative ways to show me how to position the tongue to get the right sound. And she knows exactly why I cannot pronounce certain sounds, and gives practical methods and practices with me on stretching my tongue and my oral muscles for pronouncing the exciting new syllables :-) She is as patient and dedicated as a mama tutoring her murmuring child.
Besides being a bilingual language teacher, Arina is also an artist and practices a creative and authentic lifestyle. She has unique and insightful expressions about life, and would put this creative and artistic part of her into teaching. This means she treats each and every one of her students as a unique individual, and tailors her teaching for the student's specialised needs.

She keeps wild curiosity for life and has insightful observations for the people around her, this gifted characteristic of her enables impressive and innovative interactions in her class.

Arina was our tutor at Trinity Hall College, and we were a diverse group of students with varying levels of English proficiency. Her teaching style was engaging and easy to understand for everyone, and the exercises she gave us were particularly enjoyable, especially when working in pairs. I hope she will be tutoring us in the future as well.
