Learning languages can be a lot of fun because in class we combine it with just communicating, getting to know yourself and the world better, watching videos, discussing articles and current affairs, playing games or anything a student is interested in. I am very open for new challenges and suggestions and love helping my students to express themselves in their own style using their ideas and character traits. Being a linguist, I love languages in general and my experience and passion in teaching has allowed me to find various effective approaches my students need. I also worked as a translator and interpreter which has helped me to now teach special-purpose English or Russian, for example in medicine, IT, law and industries. I also prepare for international exams in English (IELTS, BEC, TOEFL, FCE, CAE). I have a university degree in linguistics and translation (English and French), a TEFL certificate and a very wide experience in teaching languages (mostly English, but also French and Russian) for over 15 years. I mostly work with adults, but also teach teenagers and was teaching kids of all ages (beginning from 2) in China. I have been self-employed for many years now, but previously was working as a private tutor for language schools, at university and worked for an American and Chinese school in Guyang, China. I like developing my own exercises for classes and focus on the speaking practice in all the three languages.
