With a degree in English Literature and Linguistics from the University of Amsterdam and a CELTA certification (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, one of the most recognised international standards in English language teaching), Alexandra has built a career entirely dedicated to her students' growth.<\/p>\n<p>With over 4 years of experience preparing students for IELTS and TOEFL and hundreds of learners guided along the way, Alexandra knows that results don't come from study hours alone, but from a relationship built on trust and understanding. Empathy is for her not just a quality, but a working tool: a way of seeing where each student is and where they can go from there. Teaching is not a job for Alexandra, it is a genuine passion, and her students' energy is what drives her every day.<br \/>When she's not in a session, you'll find her lost in a book, because Alexandra believes that a love for language doesn't stop at the classroom door.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tik-tok Alexandra Barbu Co-founder &#038; COO Drumul Alexandrei a fost \u00eentotdeauna despre conexiune: despre cum limbajul deschide u\u0219i, cum \u00eencrederea transform\u0103 un elev \u0219i cum fiecare progres, oric\u00e2t de mic,&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","cpt_team_group":[],"class_list":["post-18033","cpt_team","type-cpt_team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
