Bio
Rastislav Blaha
I got to know Jelena in early 2013 when she joined our team in Bleum. I immediately recognized her passion for teaching and helping people. Jelena is a truly unique trainer able to instantly connect with her students, identify their needs and provide them with dedicated support. She managed to build strong relationships all over the organization and people would often wonder all the way to her cubicle to seek for further advice. Her talents reach far out of the classroom! Jelena did a fantastic job with course development. For example
Gang Zgplayer
Jelena is a warm-hearted and considerate colleague with excellent work efficiency. She is expert at techers' training as well as EFL teaching. I firmly recommend you her as a qualified and versatile EFL teacher.
