I'm 33 and have a husband and a son. I enjoy travelling, learning foreign languages and making new things from recycled materials. I'm also passionate about my job - helping my students to express their thoughts and feelings in a foreign language. As an experienced learner myself, I know all about the complications of learning a new language and how to deal with them. I'm 33, I live with my husband and son in Perm, Russia. We love to travel - we used to live in China for several years, in Guangzhou, and then in Kazakhstan, in Almaty. In addition to travelling, I like to study foreign languages and make things from recycled materials (mostly toys for my son or decorations/costumes for parties). I myself went through the difficult path of learning a language from scratch (and more than once) and I enjoy helping others. I've been teaching English for over 14 years. Last 4 years mostly working with adults online. ESL certificates: MA in teaching foreign languages, TKT, CPE I've been helping students learn Russian as a foreign language for over 5 years (mostly with bilingual children and adult beginners) RKF certificates: Lomonosov Moscow State University diploma on professional retraining in the specialty "Methodology of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language" In my lessons I focus on the use of a language for speaking. I think it is the most important and most underestimated skill. It's always great when my students and I are on the same page. I believe that a student and a teacher should be partners, which means that we both work on and share the responsibility for learning. In lessons, I mainly focus on speaking practice - this is the most important part, since people learn a language to speak it. I like to add game elements to lessons, games are interesting not only for children, but also for adults.
