About Me
italki teacher since Mar 26, 2015Interest topicReadingFilms & TV SeriesFood
Hey there, lovely people!
My name is Irina. Apart from teaching, I enjoy reading good books, watching films (don't we all?), writing, trying out dangerous recipes in the kitchen and dancing. Did I mention meeting new people? Well, that's easily one of my favourites, so don't be surprised if during our first lesson I seem super excited and ask a lot of questions :)
Всем привет!
Меня зовут Ирина. Кроме преподавания, я люблю читать хорошие книги, смотреть фильмы (а кто же не любит?), писать, экспериментировать с опасными рецептами на кухне и танцевать. А еще я обожаю знакомиться с новыми людьми, так что не удивляйтесь, если на первом уроке я буду задавать вам много вопросов :)Me as a Teacher
Since graduating Novosibirsk State University in 2012, I have been constantly refining my teaching skills, working both with children and adults in Russia, Australia and online. Being a friendly and energetic person, I always make my lessons rich and entertaining with vocabulary games, situational dialogues and fun activities which I was inspired to create after completing a beginner course in acting.
На наших занятиях вас будет ждать множество интерактивных упражнений, игр и интересных дискуссий. Мы пройдемся по грамматике, отшлифуем ваше произношение, увеличим словарный запас и языковую уверенность - поверьте, скучать не придется!My lessons & teaching style
Although my teaching style varies depending on the student's needs, I'm a strong believer in a communicative approach in teaching (which means my lessons are more conversation-oriented). Thus, I always prefer to focus on conversation and reading. Not to mention that books offer SO MANY exciting topics to discuss!My teaching material

When I began learning Russian with Irina, I started almost from zero (I was familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet, but that was it). Fast-forward a few years, and now I'm almost fluent, and native Russian speakers compliment me all the time about how good my Russian is. Make no mistake, Russian is still a difficult language to master. But with Irina as my teacher, the journey to fluency was fun and as easy as it can be, and I managed to stay motivated all the way through. Highly recommended!
