About Me
italki teacher since Feb 5, 2021InterestsMusicReadingGaming
Hello everyone!
My name is Alex and I hope you are doing well. I am here to tell you a little bit about myself and why I teach. My native language is English (as I was born in California); however, I teach Russian as well as English. I like to discuss many different topics, such as history, technology, and gaming. In that vein, my personal hobbies include video games, playing French horn, and reading (history, political theory, fantasy/sci-fi).Me as a Teacher
I am deeply passionate about the success of my students, as they are the reason why I teach. First of all, interacting with the students and helping them to achieve their goals is both immensely gratifying and motivating. Furthermore, I enjoy inspiring students and facilitating their desire to learn, so that they will always have a yearning to grow and develop even without my help. Finally, teaching is such a profession that no matter who, what, when, where or why, you will always be learning something new; as I teach my students, they teach me as well.My lessons & teaching style
As your teacher, I will assist you in discovering your inner student and encouraging you to be confident in both your English and Russian language. In doing so, we will set mutual goals and strive to meet them together! One of my favorite Russian sayings is «Учиться, учиться и ещё раз учиться», and I think that it applies to all aspects of learning a language, as language is an eternal journey no matter which one you are studying.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you soon!My teaching material

It's time to write a review about Alexander! I had already about 10 lessons with him. Alexander is a very funny, pleasant person. I can speak to him about different themes. We are always looking into different ways of expressing thoughts. Alexander shares his experience like a native speaker with me. You can study English with Alex deeply and more interestingly. It works! Alex, thanks a lot!
