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 exercises

I've had about 50 lessons with Yelnaz now and I could not be happier with how much I have learned during this time. She's a great teacher and has managed to make learning some quite difficult grammar and vocabulary quite fun when it could have just been hard work. I look forward to the next 50 lessons!

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.

As usual, time flies during the lesson because it's fun and interactive. I can feel I'm making constant progress with my speaking and understanding of the language because Yelnaz mostly speaks in Russian. There is no doubt that she loves teaching and it makes the course really enjoyable.

She is a very calm and capable instructor with a lot of patience. I believe the student could benefit more if she had a clearer microphone, as some of the words were a bit difficult to discern.

Преподавательница была достаточно любезна, чтобы расспросить меня о своей ситуации и о том, что я думаю об изучении русского языка. Мне было предложено высказать свое мнение и составить учебное задание на следующий урок. Мне очень нравится эта учительница, красивая и нежная, и я хочу продолжать изучать с ней русский язык.
