My name is Alina. I am from Russia but currently I am living in Canada. Russian is my native language and I speak English as well. I graduated from Economic University in Russia, my field of study was Economics. After finishing the University I worked in some big companies in the finance departments. But also, I like learning languages and communicating with people because of that I am here. Besides languages I enjoy travelling and exploring something new. I am open to the new things that come to my life and to the new people.

Me as a Teacher
I am friendly and easy-going, and I am happy to meet people from all over the world and know about their lyfestyle, discuss different topics, and share opinions with each other. I have been learning English with different tutors and know how hard it can be to learn new languages. During my learning adventure I identified strategies that work best for me, and I am going to share them with you.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are free and easy and at the same time productive. I am flexible and can adapt our lessons depending on what you need to improve. We can concentrate just in speaking, and I will help you sound naturally and correctly in Russian. If you want to study more grammar, we will work on it as well. We can discuss your wishes and our plan before the lesson so it will be easier for both of us to be prepared. I will be happy to see you in my lessons and will be happy to share my experirnce with you.

My first lesson was a great start to the Russian language. We worked on the basics and also Alina taught me about the Russian alphabet and helped me with my pronunciation. We also covered some verbs and greetings. As well as sentences structure. Overall a great lesson but there are some things I need to work on. Thank you again!

Alina is a wonderful teacher! She carefully tunes her lessons based on student level and interests. Lessons are well organized and a great combination of a talk and theory. Alina always has study materials handy, and makes the language fun to learn for my daughter. I like Alina's personality and style of teaching. I'm very happy that we found Alina on Italki, and will continue lessons with her. Thank you Alina.

Alina shows up to our lessons focused and attentive every time, which creates a productive learning environment. I can trust that my ideas are being considered and properly interpreted. She also provides thoughtful feedback and guidance, correcting my mistakes or suggesting better or more natural expressions as needed. Also, I can ask questions about grammar and she answers clearly and concisely in Russian at my level, which I requested, and I find this to be very helpful. Спасибо )
