Hi everyone! My name is Elina. I am a Russian native speaker from Russian diaspora who went to Russian school in Kazakhstan (it´s the second official language there) and I also studied in Russia. Now I live in Spain.
Me as a Teacher
I've worked at a private language school for 4 years and after that I´ve started to teach online. My slogan is "don't store the students' memory with useless words and grammar rules they will never use again".
My lessons & teaching style
During the lesson I pay attention to every aspect of the language: it can be a little bit of listening, reading, grammar and of course, speaking. I ask my students many questions and give them different topics to speak about. Because the main goal is to be able to communicate in the target language.

This was a great Russian Language review. I felt like we covered a lot of ground. I enjoyed the teaching style. It was helpful to cover vocabulary on a range of different topics like this.

Elina is awesome. She helped me with my pronunciation for a presentation that I had to do. I was late for my lesson, but she was very tolerant! 100% would recommend. Thanks Elina!
