Russian native speaker with a University of Arizona degree, I have been teaching English as a Second / Foreign language for fifteen years (since 2000). In addition, I have a substantial international teaching background (Canada, the USA, Vietnam, and Belarus). My professional background includes years of successful experience in teaching both groups/classes of students and individual learners. While working as an ESL instructor, I have also been helping various learners of Russian language to learn and improve their Russian (speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills).

In my work, I always try to incorporate various methods, techniques, and approaches with emphasis on varying combinations of form-focused and conversational instruction. I am experienced in teaching different ages (youth and adults) and levels (beginner through advanced). I am also skilled at adapting and modifying various learning materials to suit the needs, preferences, and abilities of students. I always strive to help my learners achieve their learning goals and progress toward proficiency in their language use by combining creative self-expression and grammar-based routines.
