Testimonials

I had lessons with Silvia from the summer of 2016 to the end of the year 2017. We started the English course when I was level B1 (intermediate English). In a very short period she taught me up to the level C1 (advanced English). She is very smart, very kind, nice … and learning with Silvia is a lot of fun. Her homework made absolute sense and she challenged me all the time. She brought me further. Thank you, Silvia.

Angelika Lemke, Berlin, 45 Entrepreneur

I had intensive lessons with Silvia when I needed to update my English before a job interview. I wanted to change my job and face a new challenge in an international environment. We practiced specific questions and situations and talked about current issues in the work area. I learned a lot through recent interesting articles from Spotlight. After the course I felt I can handle business English and I renewed my English skills.

Katrin M., Berlin, 39 HR Specialist

The English course with Silvia is conceived in a very lively way and customized exactly to my needs. It is a diverse mixture of discussion, Grammar and listening comprehension about interesting modern topics and everyday situations. This way learning is a lot of fun and I’m glad about my quick progress. I can only recommend Silvia!

Katarzyna Urbanczyk-Siwek, Berlin, 42 Head of Branch in the Polish-German Chamber of Commerce

I had English with Silvia for a few months to prepare better for my MSA. She made me like Grammar and my grades were higher than before. I was happy to have a 2 in English. With her lessons are not boring and she explains it all clearly.

About Silvia Chirila

Silvia Chirila, english teacher in Berlin

Silvia Chirila B.A. in English, M.A. in American Cultural Studies

I have over 12 years' experience in teaching that is tightly connected with the English language, although not exclusively with it. I have worked with people of different ages and from several countries. My mastery of English is certified not only through my studies, but also thanks to my experience in translation, editing, and proofreading. I have worked with documents, résumés, job applications, professional correspondence, web content, articles etc. and I translated several books in collaboration with renowned publishing houses. My most significant achievements in this field are Michael Johnston's study Syndromes of Corruption. Wealth, Power, and Democracy, Salman Rushdie's collection of essays Imaginary Homelands, Franz K. Stanzel's Theorie des Erzählens and Executive Intelligence by Justin Menkes.

Languages have always been my calling and my passion. I hold a B.A. in English (major). Once I graduated from this program in 2004, I knew without any doubt that my further specialization and my career would be closely related to the English language. My vocation thus impelled me to go on with an M.A. in American Cultural Studies in parallel with my work as an English teacher. Not only did my M.A. studies enable me to get acquainted with new dimensions of the English-speaking world, but also they engendered a deepening of my knowledge of English. After my M.A. I decided to start working on a research project in North American Literature and Culture at the Humboldt University of Berlin. My teaching experience had already included courses and seminars in the Department of Communication Sciences, Petre Andrei University of Iasi during the years I worked as a Teaching and Research Associate. The Berlin years enriched my teaching experience in higher education with new courses in the Department of American Studies and in the Center for Transdisciplinary Gender Studies (HU Berlin).
