About Me
italki teacher since Apr 14, 2022InterestsMusicFilms & TV SeriesSports & Fitness
Hi! My name is Yelnaz and I am a Russian and English teacher. I have been teaching for around 6 years now because I am interested in learning languages myself (I know Russian, Kazakh, English, Chinese, a bit of Spanish and French) and I love helping other people to learn. I find my profession to be very interesting and enjoy every moment of doing my job. In my free time I enjoy going to the movies, listening to music, socializing with my friends, and reading books. The latter unquestionably aided me in learning new languages.Me as a Teacher
I am a very passionate teacher. That is because I get a great level of satisfaction from seeing my students reaching their goals. Next, I am also very patient since I know how difficult and confusing can be the learning process. Finally, I love hearing feedback from my students and to constantly improve.My lessons & teaching style
I have been a teacher of languages for a long period of time and have learnt to understand different people and their learning capabilities. I think it helps me to organize my lessons in a way which is not only interesting for learners but also in accordance with their abilities. Moreover, I have come to realize that many students know how to read but cannot speak and so I facilitate speaking exercisesMy teaching material

I have been doing Russian lessons with Yelnaz now for about 5 months. Each lesson I feel like I learn something new and I definitely feel like my Russian has improved. Even on the days where I feel less confident in myself or as though I should have studied more before the lesson, Yelnaz delivers with great conversation, applicable grammar, and new useful words to add to my vocabulary that pick me back up. The assigned homework really does help you keep engaged with the language on days there is not a lesson and if you truly invest into the system, it pays off. Russian can be challenging at times but I think when one is challenged and does their best to get through it and understand it, they come out the other side better than before. In my opinion, this concept is something that Yelnaz does a great job of embodying in our lessons and a reason I contribute my level of Russian to her. If you get a chance, I absolutely recommend you take lessons with her!

I highly recommend Yelnaz as a teacher. Our conversations are super fun and pleasant and I always end the classes with a lot more vocabulary than when I started. If you want to improve your Russian in a fun way, make sure to book a class with this teacher.

I'm now at about 215 lessons with Yelnaz. In the past year i've learned absolutely tonnes of Russian grammar and vocab, and am starting to be able to express myself freely in Russian. Yelnaz is a great teacher and always makes the lessons fun through introducing new teaching techniques. It's fun , even on days when I am tired or having trouble concentrating. I recommend her as a teacher—you won't regret taking lessons with her!

Yelnaz is a very inspiring person. i recently started to take some russian lessons with her. she's prepared and has a clear plan for every lesson. yelnaz is patient with beginners and explain things in a pleasant way. And if you don't get it at the first time, she always have a alternative or additional explanation ready. i feel very comfortable with her and can only recommend her.
