My name's Polina 🧡
I was born in Rostov-on-Don in the south of Russia, but in September 2022 I decided to move to Bordeaux in the west of France to experience a life in a different country! At the moment, I'm studying at university while working as a multilingual teacher of English, French and Russian. I love meeting new people, discovering new cultures and trying out new things in life. Besides I absolutely can't leave without art: dancing, cinema, literature, music, video games... 🌟Me as a Teacher
I've realized how much I love teaching languages since having my first student in 2021 🧡
Now I have a community of Russian and French speaking students who study English, French and Russian with me. I currently possess a bachelor's degree that allows me to teach French as a Foreign Language and a TEFL Academy certificate for teaching English abroad. Regarding Russian, my detailed theoretical knowledge of this language allows me to teach it to people from all over the world 🌟 My lessons & teaching style
I still have memories of how it feels to enter a new mentality with a new language 🧡
That makes me aware of the challenges that my students may face, and I'm willing to help them dive into the logic and culture of a language. I pay a lot of attention to my students' likes and dislikes, goals and study preferences. Every lesson is built with a special focus on usefullness, comfort and interest. I stick to a communicative approach which means that all the target topics will be primarily practised in speech. I teach students of any level and mostly prepare my own materials, but also occasionally adapt existing materials 🌟My teaching material

Polina is a positive person and a good teacher. The lessons go well. I can ask a lot of questions during the training, Polina easily answers them all! This helps my training a lot. The material is presented well and accessible. I will gladly recommend her lessons to anyone who is looking for a teacher for themselves.

"I am so grateful ! Her patience, encouragement, and expertise have truly helped me feel more confident and fluent in speaking English. Each lesson was well-prepared, with interesting materials and activities that kept me engaged and challenged. She always took the time to explain concepts clearly and adapted lessons to my specific needs and goals. I especially appreciate the constructive feedback on my pronunciation and grammar—it made a big difference!
