I am a teacher with more than ten years of experience. After receiving my teaching degree in Russia I set off on a perpetual journey around various countries which took me to France, where I spent an academic year working as a teacher assistant and then straight to Asia, and more precisely to Beijing - the city in which I lived and worked for six wonderful years. And now I am in the process of settling down in Germany. Personally, I try to keep my life as upbeat and interesting as possible. I love travelling, reading, jogging, tasting wines, walking my dog and exploring new hobbies and whatnot. All of those things can be included in one way or another into our classes.

Me as a Teacher

I try to meet my students where they are when it comes to their level. I've had students of ages ranging from 2 up to 65, so it always excites me to find different ways to build that rapport that creates the most productive atmosphere for classes. I am patient - you have to be to work with 2-year-olds - and creative, so I'll definitely do my best for you to enjoy studying with me.

My lessons & teaching style

My objective is to make sure that my students live the classroom with more knowledge about the language as well as more confidence to move forward. In my first years, I worked with more or less old-fashioned teaching methods which explored language acquisition primarily through grammar and reading. However, the last seven years I have been building my lessons around the Conversational approach, getting my students to express themselves to their best ability while also making sure that they get enough general knowledge necessary to continue growing. And I love to throw a few games in the process. Languages should scare people off, so making the whole thing as fun as it can get is my goal.
