My name is Erika and I’m a Russian & English Language teacher. I have a degree in teaching Russian as a Foreign Language from Moscow University and I’ll be happy to help you with mastering this beautiful and rich language. I'm also a CELTA - certified English teacher and I work with adult students of all levels, including TOEFL, FCE, and CAE exam preparation.
I was born in Russia and got my education and first university degree, then started my first business there. I later moved abroad, got married, and for many years live, study and work in Europe. This experience gives me an opportunity to help my students with both Russian and English adapting our lessons to any situation we need.

Erica is a simply perfect teacher! She gives the best feeling in the world, even to those who are stressed and stutter. She both - leads the lesson and gives the student what he asked for. Her huge smile does not come at the expense of assertiveness!
