Nora Jurjāne
BA in Humanities (English Philology), Modern Language Teacher (Secondary School) Certificate
University of Latvia
What I like about teaching English:
The first thing that comes to my mind why teaching English is my most favourite job so far is that it provides endless opportunities of reativity. The sky is the limit and that applies to every single day. It is rewarding to meet different students and search for an individual approach. Not many things in life give so much joy as a sparkle in your student's eyes finally understanding a grammar rule.
Professional interests:
Since I have worked in Hospitality, Marketing and Financial industries English for Specific Purposes/Business English is my cup of tea. Working in a secondary school also Academic Writing (Essay writing) is a very crucial aspect of teaching English and it is a great challenge to assist others in developing and organizing their ideas.
Other interests:
I love travelling, particularly visiting different cities. I find watching TV series, going to the theatre or opera a deserved break from work. And, of course, spending time with my family or friends is priceless.

Sandra Nore
University of Latvia, MA (Paed)
I’m Sandra, a teacher of English, with a certain amount of relevant certificates according to my education to teach English here in Latvia. It is a formal side but next to it exists a considerable experience of being an educator at secondary school with young adults in Riga, with adults at ELC, as well as priceless lessons learnt in Oregon, USA taught by American and Hispanic pupils and professional teachers at middle school for one school year. I express my gratification and honour to anyone who shares the same expectations I have while acquiring anything new – it is more about ‘a giving right questions than a giving of right answers’ (by Josef Albers). Diving in, mumbling, stumbling, talking, discussing, arguing, being mad and confused, having fun and being able to express ourselves – it is not telling, teaching but involvement and learning for 12 weeks (our regular language course) and then together with us once more or on their own, the students are able to communicate and ‘survive’ not only at school with all ‘schoolish’ requirements but outside Latvia in common surrounding or professional environment. I appreciate a loving family and close friends, flower pots on my balcony from early spring to late autumn, carrots and green grass (like in rainforest) in my garden, vast bright blue sky, cold water, high peaks with snow in winter and with glacier in summer somewhere and here, faithful people and absolute solitude - filling me with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
