About Me
I was born and raised in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Since I was a little girl I was passionate about language learning. I started learning English when I was 5, added French at school, and now I'm also actively learning Dutch.
My other interests include travelling, dancing, cooking, reading, board games. I enjoy learning about other cultures, comparing ways of living, talking about travelling, current events, history.
I am a very passionate and dedicated teacher. Being a full-time tutor I take preparation seriously, I always draw a minute by minute plan of the lesson and keep a personal file for each student to keep track of your progress.
At my lessons I always try to create a friendly atmosphere. I want my students to feel relaxed and comfortable making mistakes. I will never interrupt you, but I will always take notes, so as to keep track of your weak points and address them accordingly. That way we can turn your mistakes into an excellent learning opportunity!
