About Me
italki teacher since Oct 25, 2019
Interest topicTravelPets & AnimalsReading
I am 25 and I am a certified English teacher. My biggest passion is travelling. I love to learn about different cultures and ways of living. You will never look at one place the same way as you used to if you have been to another one. Currently I live in Mexico and I think my experience is priceless. I love the culture, the language and, of course, the food. Every day is full of little discoveries about the place where I live. Learning another language is a journey for me. I always try to show my students how exciting can be the process of learning another language.

Me as a Teacher
I always dreamt to be a teacher, since the first grade I knew that I was going to be a teacher. I started to teach at the age of 17 when I came back to Russia from the United States. I was working in the language centers, schools, I was giving individual classes both offline and on-line. I am working with children and adults, in groups and individually and the biggest insight from these 5 years of teaching is that YOU WILL ALWAYS LEARN WHEN YOU TEACH.
My lessons & teaching style
I am a well-organized person and I realized that the best tool for having your classes well-structured and well-organized on-line is to use the google docs. Any time of the day my students can open the google docs and find
- Schedule
- Homework
- List of the useful links
- Topics we are going to cover
- Topics we already revised
- List of their common mistakes
- Upcoming tests
ETC.
Apart from this, I am always very open to the interests/needs and ideas of my students. I make sure my students are satisfied with what we learn and the way we learn it.

There’s so much I can say, where to start?
I guess I can start by saying there’s only a few people in this world that can teach how Anya does, which is in a highly professional, creative, empathic and above all else, patient manner. She is unlike any teacher I’ve ever encountered, holding great attributes like being very funny, outgoing and flexible, and above all else is that she is not like other teachers that can and will make fun of you for making mistakes, instead she helps you every step of the way, that’s why I think she is at the epitome of her profession, and she shines like no other!
After having 20 lessons with her, my Russian has improved greatly, from being unable to speak and being a beginner, to having a very decent amount of fluency.
After joining italki, they will send you an email encouraging you to find your perfect match, and believe me when I say that I have found the one, and I guarantee that YOU… reader, will too if you sign up with her.
Спасибо огромное Аня!

Spasiba bolshoye, Anya! Ty ydivityelni prepadavtyelnitza russkogo yazika! <-- That is what my child wrote. Thank you for teaching him. I can't believe it's been only 15 lessons and he's learned so much. So happy we found you! You are not only knowledgeable in language pedagogy but you also care about the student and make the lessons engaging and fun. :D

I started as a beginner learning Russian and have been working with Anya for over 6 months. Anya has created a great step by step lesson plan that has helped me improve upon my skills. She comes to lessons well prepared and makes the student feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her to others as a teacher.
