I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

My motto is always to find a way to motivate my students and make them progress according to their needs and goals.

In my classes, we learn through fun and interaction. I always create a friendly and comfortable atmosphere where students can feel confident to speak and make mistakes — because that’s how we learn! We’ll play games, practice conversations, and focus on improving your speaking, listening,reading and writing. My goal is to make you love learning languages and enjoy every moment of our lessons."

My students start speaking in 3 months! This is all thanks to the communicative method I use during lessons (I speak 30-40%, I listen 70-60%). Not only do they memorize new vocabulary and grammar better, but they learn to construct sentences independently from the very first lessons, and subsequently, to converse with confidence.

I teach: English, Spanish, and Russian.

- Communicate with native speakers
- Prepare for exams (Russian state exams, IELTS, certifications)
- Participate in the Language Olympiad and win prizes
- Improve your academic performance
- Prepare for university admission in Russia or abroad
- Travel without language barriers
- Improve your professional performance in international companies

Russian literature is captivating, complex, beautiful... But also essential for understanding Russian language, culture and even its current situation. As Yevtushenko said, "In Russia a poet is more than just a poet". And this is why learning more about Russian literature is essential. As a scholar in the area of Russian studies, I've written quite a few articles on that matter, and I'm happy to share my expertise with you!
