I am a native English and Russian speaker! I was born in America, and my parents are Russian-speaking immigrants. I taught my mother to speak English. I live between New York and Kyiv. Together, you and I will practice English in conversation, talking about life, movies and art. I am a professional writer, and will help you practice English by writing in it. Your homework will be to write, and then I will ask you to read out loud your writing! I've taken many foreign language classes as a student, so I understand the frustrations of being in a class without adequate practice.
