About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2020Me as a Teacher
I graduated University in 2014 from English faculty. And I've been teaching for 10 years now and I really love my work.
Now I'm working at Russian National Library in Saint-Petersburg at Education centre and also at language school. I have many groups of students. They are all of different ages and different level of language.
I give some personal classes via Zoom and Skype as well, and I suppose that today online studying is the best way to learn.
I teach both: adults and children. Children are always happy to attend my lessons, and for adults I always find a proper motivation for studying.My lessons & teaching style
I have plan for each lesson. Usually, we begin with short warming-up conversations, then check homework, solve some problems, master grammar. Of course, we speak much, because I use communicative approach within my teaching. I include in my lessons some interactive activities and also audio and video materials. I like making each class unique and unforgettable.My teaching material

Natalia is a great teacher! Natalia's lessons are various, interesting and fun. Lessons have a good balance between grammar and conversations. Homework is never boring.
I want to note that Natalia is always very positive and enthusiastic about teaching English. She always corrects mistakes which is especially important for me.
I highly recommend Natalia as a good professional, open minded and positive thinking teacher.
