Hello I am Alena. I was born and raised in Moscow,Russia, but now i live in the UK. I have a Russian diploma of Moscow State University with the qualification Russian as a foreign language and a diploma from Moscow State Pedagogical University with the qualification An English language teacher. I am also PhD in Philology. I hold 150-hour Advanced TEFL UK certificate and many certificates of teachers` training from Open University UK and the British Council. I have had a big experience of teaching both English and Russian and preparing for international exams like IELTS and Cambridge certificates. I also prepare for passing Russian state exams. I have always tried to use humour and additional materials and sourses like literature,Mass Media, social networks. Each pupil receives an individual programme of preparation according to their goals and interests. My classes are never bored.

I am specialised in teaching English as a second language and in preparing for international exams like IELTS and Cambridge certificates. I have my own methods of organising classes in the most optional ways to achieve excellent results and have had a big experience of teaching pupils of all levels and ages. I am a native Russian speaker who lives in the UK and I have carried out my own techniques of explaining difficult Russian grammar.
