About Max
I have been giving lessons for eight years. I taught one-to-one, couples and groups starting from three to thirty - thirty-five students. Some of my students travel a lot and they have made a considerable progress in their language acquisition. One of my students, named Natalie is climbing her career ladder and recently let me know that she became a manager in her company taking into account that English is not her native language.

I hold a Master's Degree in Linguistics and have eight years' experience. I teach languages to a range of ages and professions.
I have always considered myself a cultural boundary crosser of some sort or another since my youth. As a boundary crosser, I have learned a great deal about other people and the world around me in part due to openness to other cultures. This openness has also helped to broaden my perspective and better understand culture-specific behavior. I feel that these are essential qualities for a language teacher to possess, and in fact, it is this awareness that motivated me initially to enter the field of teaching ESL and other modern foreign languages. As a student in Linguistics degree program, I was able to build upon my original motivation a solid theoretical foundation on which to base my future teaching approach.
In my personal philosophy of teaching, I believe that it is important to be consciously aware of the theory behind what I teach as well as the way that I teach. It is very empowering for me to understand the theories associated with my field and to be able to reflect those theories in my teaching approach. Considering second language acquisition theory, my personal teaching philosophy is based on social constructivist and critical pedagogic approaches to language acquisition. Some of the more salient aspects of my teaching philosophy include:
The learner’s preexisting knowledge
The social functions of language
Whole language approach
Individual creativity
Student rapport
Teacher self-reflection
Consistency
My teaching approach in ESL and other foreign languages (French, Spanish, German and Russian) is to guide my students through the process of language socialization while addressing the above theoretical considerations.
Through a complex interaction between my personal philosophy of teaching and the theories behind my philosophy, I strive to develop the full potential of my students in the language learning context. As a guide on their journeys of linguistic discovery, I hope that I can foster skills in my students that will prepare them for greater social challenges. In the process, I also hope to continually broaden my cultural awareness while I progress as an instructor. I have a great passion for languages and I am following two goals - convey that passion to my students so that they fall in love with a language and see them make progress with excellent results.
