About me
My tutoring
My training
I love foreign languages since my childhood. As musicians and teachers,
my parents spoke not only the main European languages, but also a bit of Estonian
and Lithuanian (our neighbour countries) and some unusual ones - Mongolian and
Arabic.
Thus, it seemed just natural to choose foreign languages as my future
speciality. I studied French at school and entered the International Relations
University in Moscow where I studied Swedish, English and, of course, Russian.
Already during my studies I began to teach Swedish language in a secondary
school. I liked to introduce people to a new culture by learning a foreign language.
I realized that by my efforts students started to communicate in a new language,
acquiring a higher educational and intellectual level.
For almost thirty years, teaching foreign languages has been my hobby
while working in business structures, where I could practice these languages in
the daily communication with the native speakers. I have taught adults in
evening courses, high school and university students, and even pre-schoolers. I
am pleased that my work has been useful for many people.
Svešvalodu zināšanas ir mana aizraušanās kopš bērnības. Būdami mūziķi
un skolotāji, mani vecāki prata ne tikai Eiropas “lielās” valodas, bet arī
kaimiņu - igauņu un lietuviešu, kā arī mums neierastākās - mongoļu un arābu
valodas, kurās komunicēja ar skolēniem un kolēģiem, strādājot mūzikas skolās
Ulanbatorā un Adenā.
Tādēļ mana specialitātes izvēle par labu svešvalodām šķita
pašsaprotama. Skolā apguvusi franču valodu, iestājos augstskolā Maskavā, kur
līdzās starptautisko attiecību priekšmetiem ļoti labā līmenī apguvu zviedru,
angļu un, protams, krievu valodu.
Jau studiju laikā sāku pasniegt zviedru valodas fakultatīvu skolēniem
kādā Maskavas vidusskolā. No pirmā mirkļa mani aizrāva sajūta, ka manu pūliņu
rezultātā cilvēkiem paveras jauna, bagāta citas kultūras pasaule. Sapratu, ka spēju
“atvērt” skolēnus komunikācijai jaunapgūtā valodā.
Visus turpmākos jau gandrīz 30 gadus svešvalodu
mācīšana ir bijis mans sirdsdarbs paralēli pamatdarbam biznesa struktūrās, kur
ikdienā varēju praktizēt šīs valodas darba kontaktos ar attiecīgo tautību
pārstāvjiem. Esmu bijusi pasniedzēja pieaugušajiem vakara kursos,
vidusskolēniem, studentiem un pat pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem. Pēc daudziem
gadiem satiekot bijušos studentus, kuri ar prieku un pateicību atceras mācību
laiku, jūtu gandarījumu, ka mans darbs ir bijis noderīgs daudziem cilvēkiem.

Europe/Riga LatviaWhatever the purpose you have, if you want to learn a new foreign
language, two things are important: don’t be afraid to speak - no matter if
with mistakes, and use every opportunity to practice communication.
I am open to diverse teaching methods and content. There are no identical students - for everyone I have
to find the best way of explaining and the workout process; each has its own
desires and goals, its needs and time limits. Someone will want to train only
the colloquial language, others will try to learn grammar as much as possible,
etc. Therefore, the language teacher must be intelligent to be able to talk
about different topics, understand the psychology of different groups of
people, and to find an individual approach to each student without losing
quality and strategic goals.
By
teaching a foreign language, I put the main attention to the practical use of the language and the communication. However, I believe that grammatically correct
speech and writing show respect for the language and culture which it
represents, so I support students in their efforts to speak and write
without mistakes. These two approaches must be in balance so that students are
not afraid of making mistakes, but at the same time there are conditions for improvement.
Lai
kādi būtu cilvēka mērķi, vēloties apgūt jaunu svešvalodu, svarīgas ir divas
lietas - nebaidīties runāt, kaut arī ar kļūdām, un izmantot jebkuru iespēju, lai praktizētu komunikāciju
svešvalodā.
Esmu atvērta dažādām mācību metodēm un saturam. Nav divu vienādu studentu - katram ir jāatrod sava pieeja mācību vielas
izskaidrošanā un treniņu procesā; katram ir savas vēlmes un mērķi, savas
vajadzības un laika limiti. Kāds gribēs trenēt tikai sarunvalodu, cits centīsies
maksimāli labi apgūt gramatiku utt. Tādēļ valodu pasniedzējam ir jābūt
daudzpusīgi attīstītam, jāspēj sarunāties par dažādām tēmām, jāizprot dažādu
ļaužu grupu psiholoģija un jāvar piemeklēt katram studentam individuālu mācību
plānu, nezaudējot kvalitāti un stratēģisko mērķi.
Mācot svešvalodu,
galveno akcentu lieku uz valodas praktisko pielietojamību un komunicēšanu.
Tomēr uzskatu, ka gramatiski pareiza runa un rakstība apliecina cieņu pret
izvēlēto valodu un kultūru, ko tā pārstāv, tādēļ atbalstu studentu cenšanos mācīties
runāt un rakstīt bez kļūdām. Šīm abām pieejām jābūt līdzsvarā, lai studentā
neradītu bailes kļūdīties, bet vienlaikus - lai radītu priekšnosacījumus
izaugsmei.

Several of my students have passed the necessary exams and received Residence permits or even Latvian citizenship (according to the common policy).
I am also very glad for the students who have started to communicate with their Latvian relatives or extended families after some time of studies. The tragical historical period around 1940-1945 divided so many families so that almost every Latvian has some close relatives in emigration. Now, they are able to speak with their often elderly cousins in Latvia.
There are always some medical students who are taking Latvian language studies very seriously while getting their academic degrees in Latvian universities. They prove to be able to inquire patients in Latvian, showing respect and commitment to the language of the country where they are studying.
Then, there are elementary school and high school students, usually grades 9 and 12 (when they have to pass state exams), who need some help with the basics of the Latvian language. They haven't probably been so eager learning Latvian in the elementary school, and it is a joy to manage to explain the grammar and construction of sentences so that they start understanding the structure and system in the language.

THIS TEACHER ROCKS! Following her direction will allow me to get to the ‘next level’ in speaking, writing, listening & comprehension and speech. Ingura has second to none qualifications which takes her out of the crowd. She is totally committed to her mission of teaching and achieving results. Ingura’s explanations are simple and clear. Her nature is kind, very patient and it is easy to engage with her. Studying languages with Ingura is a privilege and a unique opportunity to deal with someone possessing an exquisite education and professional command of languages, grammar, history, art and much more. All this added to her ability to teach and use multiple approaches to facilitate the sessions. In today’s hectic world, there are less people with her profile and even if it took some time to book a lesson with Ingura, it was very much worth the wait. I have had several sessions studying with Ingura and I am extremely pleased with the experience and quick results achieved from each session. Without hesitation, it is a good value for money. I think LONET academy is very lucky in having Ingura as a teacher. For sure I feel incredibly lucky for having her as my tutor. Thank you so much Ingura!
Liels paldies! :)

Frequently Asked Questions
If a tutor cancels a lesson that has been confirmed before, you get the total amount paid for this lesson back to your online wallet balance. You can use this balance to book the next lessons on lonet.
To provide a short answer to this question, we would say as follows: Go to a tutor if: you want to study the language. You will learn grammar rules, and practice reading, writing, and listening skills. If you are a beginner or an elementary-level learner, choose a tutor. With a tutor, you will work on and improve your language skills. Go to a trainer if: you want to develop your speaking skills mainly. Choose a native trainer to train your accent, speaking skills, and conversational vocabulary, get cultural insights, and have nice targeted conversations in the language with a native speaker-trainer. Go to a language coach if: you are at the intermediate and upper-intermediate level of the language and want to develop your specific language skills. If you want to become a confident language speaker, fluent in a specific area, in a language for specific purposes, and break all the barriers you have in your language learning, choose a language coach.
Book a free consultation session with Kristine and tell her about your concerns. She is a creator of Lonet.Academy, a language learning expert, a polyglot, and a performance coach. She is happy to provide valuable advice and insights, according to your unique needs and personal situation.
In the case if you booked the lessons and the tutor has already confirmed them, you can cancel your lessons (by going to your pending lessons and pressing the button “cancel”), but in this case, you will get your money back to your balance (online wallet) with a deduction of 5 eur per each lesson canceled. You can still use the remaining balance to book your lessons with another tutor. To avoid this we recommend buying special deals with us, that provide you with a specific amount of money in your online wallet (with a more than paid value) and you can use this balance later when you are confident to book.
