About Me

Hello. My name is Laima. I am a native Romanian and Russian speaker from the Republic of Moldova.
I am on Verbling to encourage you to learn Romanian or help you advance in practising this beautiful language.
I can help with the preparation for the ROMANIAN CITIZENSHIP interview (test).
I have a Licence in Philology of Modern and Classical Languages. I have been working as an English and French teacher for 12 years and also teach Romanian and Russian as second languages to foreign volunteers.
I love my job. My aim is to make my students enjoy learning the language and feel free and confident when using it. I consider each student a personality that’s why I have an individual aproach based on their interests and needs, and I try to find the most efficient working methods and make classes funny and relaxed.
I organize my lessons based on the four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. I am open and ready to help you with anything you need.
If you are interested in working together, just send me a message or book your trial lesson and let's start!
Good luck! Enjoy learning Romanian!

PS. Please write a brief intro before you request our first lesson.

Wonderful teacher. Patient and encouraging. We have been working together for over a year, and progress is made, even if it seems to take a while (I don't have a lot of opportunity to practice with others outside of lessons (U.S.)). Definitely have come a long way since the beginning.

Laima is a very good teacher! I am learning a lot and she is helping me to review what I already know so that I am comfortable speaking it, and she teaches me new words and grammar to build on my knowledge. She corrects me when needed, but she is not at all harsh. I definitely recommend her for your language learning!
