About Me
italki teacher since Mar 7, 2018InterestsFoodArtTravel
I was born in Russia and later moved to Belarus. I studied and worked in China for 7 years, and have now lived in Japan for three years. I am trying to live a full and diverse life. I like cooking, planting flowers and veggies in my small garden, traveling, going to live concerts, visiting museums and galleries, skiing, and dancing.Me as a Teacher
If you are interested in funny non-stress, but very productive Russian, Chinese or English lessons, feel free to contact me. I have an experience in studying many different foreign languages such as German, Chinese, English and currently Japanese. So I know how to learn a foreign language quickly and without big pressure. Besides, I have Master degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages and TORFL teacher certification. My lessons & teaching style
During teaching, I mostly focus on a speaking part, because I think, that the speaking is the most important of learning a foreign language. The first grammar must be studied along with speaking practice, otherwise it is useless. You must learn not just words, but phrases that can be used directly in a dialogue. Usually, students are good at reading and writing, but their speaking is always coming the last. Be ready not just listen to me, but talk with me, explain to me and enjoy our lesson. Please note that all general lessons last 55 minutes.My teaching material

いつもあっという間にレッスンが終わってしまいます。話題が豊富で、説明は端的。初心者のつたないロシア語も、つい口をついて出てしまう日本語も、完璧に理解してくれます。レッスンが終わるたびに「もっとしゃべりたい！」という気にしてくれる、素晴らしい先生です。

Anna is an outstanding language teacher who makes every lesson engaging, clear, and enjoyable. Her teaching style is patient yet effective, she explains complex grammar points in simple ways and always encourages confidence in speaking. What truly stands out is her dedication; she personalizes lessons to fit my pace and goals, making real progress feel effortless.
