About Me
italki teacher since Mar 26, 2015Interest topicReadingMoviesFood
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

i really struggle with languages and but lessons are Really flexible and it feels like I'm being paced appropriately, I feel like I'm learning language as opposed to a bunch of words and phrases.

Irina is a fantastic teacher. She provides me with plenty of speaking practice and always remains patient and encouraging, even if I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. I can't recommend her enough.

Irina is an excellent teacher. She creates lessons that are exactly what you want to know, but she is flexible enough to change if there is suddenly a topic you want to know more about. Very good at answering questions, too. I am very pleased.

I had so much fun talking and playing a game with Irina, that I forgot that that 30 minutes already passed! I don't remember the last time I had fun learning a language.
