Who am I?
My name is Ioana Herbel, and I am a certified English teacher, primarily teaching in the online environment. I was born in Baia Mare, Romania, in 1987. In 2020, I received my Ph.D. from Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. During my doctoral studies, I published a book in English, several scientific articles in prestigious international journals, and participated in various research grants.
In addition to my interest in research, I am deeply passionate about teaching. In 2016, I turned my passion for helping others into a part-time job. I began teaching English as a second language while pursuing my doctoral studies. I offered my services to several students in Cluj who sought my help. Over the past few years, I have accumulated more than 5000 hours of teaching experience. During this time, I have developed the skills necessary to help my students excel in English.
Currently, I work with students at various language levels, both in person (in Cluj-Napoca) and ONLINE. If you are looking for an English teacher, you can leave me a message to schedule a FREE initial session to assess your language level. I look forward to meeting you and working together!
