About the tutor
Hello,
My name is Damion and I am a language enthusiast just like you! I know what it's like to pursue a new language, a new skillset or even a new passion without any clear direction on how to get to the other side. Fortunately for you, I have figured out the key to gaining traction and focus towards accomplishing any goal that you would like to accomplish.
As you see in my profile, I also speak Russian. How did I become conversationally fluent over the course of 5 years? Well, I will tell you that I didn't do it with grammar charts and boring stories written in 1892..lol I figured out how to learn the language naturally, as a native would without needing to go against my own unique way of developing a new skill.
This is something that I can teach you to do with your English communication, if you choose me to help you in your journey.
Aside from language, I have a 20 year background working with clients in the mental health field that struggled with a variety of disorders and situational stressors. I taught people how to break down their issues one by one and develop strategies to overcome each hurdle one at a time.
Learning a language isn't as intimidating as people make it seem, it's really just a matter of finding out how you personally learn best and then building on that strength.

I don't believe that learning a language(skill) is a "one size fits all" kind of situation. My methodology in helping others is to first help them identify their strengths, before diving into any areas of needed improvement.
Once a person can identify what they are doing correctly, they naturally gain a boost of self-esteem and confidence which will be needed for tackling more challenging aspects of a particular language or skillset.
The next step is to clearly identify a goal and utilize their strengths to help them achieve it.
If you would like someone to help you gain confidence in your ability to speak English without the fear of "not being perfect", I'm the person that can help you with that.
If you want exposure to colloquial idioms, real conversations and the confidence to make mistakes without judgement...Let's get this party started!
See you on the inside!

Conversational English
I have helped several native Russian speakers grasp the concepts of casual English conversation in a social setting. I also continue to help my overseas language partners wrap their heads around colloquial idioms and find new ways to express their English.
English job interview prep
During my time as an employment specialist, I have provided over 300 mock interviews for English natives to assist them in finding employment within the U.S. I have also spent a large portion of my time speaking with directors and managers of several companies within the ENC area to learn about their ideal employee candidate profile. I utilized this information to assist my clients in preparing for interviews, completing applications and providing follow-up feedback to management professionals during the hiring process.
