About Me

Hi, I'm a certified Russian teacher with teaching experience in 4 countries: Russia, China, Thailand, Vietnam. I'm from Russia, Siberia and currently, I live and teach in Vietnam.
I love to travel, explore our planet, meet local people, try new food. So far I’ve been to 17 countries. I’m also passionate about sports. My favourite one is snowboarding.Me as a Teacher
⭐ I teach adults as well as secondary and high school students
⭐ I'm friendly and patient.
⭐ Focus on all 4 skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing with speaking skill as a priority
⭐ Communicative approach
⭐ Clear accent
⭐ 150 hours TEFL certificate
⭐ 8 years of experience in education and 5 years in teaching Russian as second language. My lessons & teaching style
I believe, learning languages is interesting and fun!
Throughout my teaching career, I used the communicative approach. My lessons have included various activities for students. By engaging students in speaking, writing, listening, and reading (and appealing to diverse learning styles), I have helped my students improve their overall accuracy and fluency.
I provide a complete course from an absolute beginner to a confident speaker of Russian language.
Book a trial lesson, I will be more than happy to get to know you and your needs. On our first lesson we will do a quick level test and decide how I can help you to bring your language skills to the next level. See you in the class!My teaching material
