Liga Rymer

An experienced English teacher. I have been working with European schools offline and with Chinese public schools online. Throughout years of practice, I developed my strategy where people and children acquire confidence and the ability to speak fast, as it is all based on fun and various activities involving fun. Because when we are having fun and loving what we do - we acquire skills fast.

I live in Spain and am open to any offline or online English teacher job.

I worked in public schools in different European countries as an English teacher, mainly in primary classes and up to children 14 years of age. Also, I worked online with Chinese public schools as an English teacher for 5 years with experience with young children in playgroup training centers up to teenagers in colleges.
