About me

Certified and Experienced English teacher with 20 years of professional teaching!

Hi! I am an English language coach. Almost from birth, my parents immersed me in a foreign environment, which globally affected my fate and life path. When I was three years old, my parents went to Mongolia and we lived there for six years. Already there I created my own children's foreign language. I was very proud that my parents did not understand this language and I could freely speak it with my toys. I'm originally from an industrial city of Russia. This city has a well-known steel factor...

Hi! I am an English language coach. Almost from birth, my parents immersed me in a foreign environment, which globally affected my fate and life path. When I was three years old, my parents went to Mongolia and we lived there for six years. Already there I created my own children's foreign language. I was very proud that my parents did not understand this language and I could freely speak it with my toys. I'm originally from an industrial city of Russia. This city has a well-known steel factory, where expats came from all over the world. My teaching of a foreign language began for them. Then I travelled to different countries of the world and found students there. In 2010, I moved to Finland through my studies and my teaching smoothly switched to online classes. My lesson starts with a short warming-up. After, we do exercises. In my lesson, I talk maximum of 10 minutes, if there's a new topic. In the end, we learn new words, watch videos or sing:) If needed, I use other support languages. - I use individual teaching methods ("step-by-step"/ "animation together") - I do online classes with the newest online platforms (+online whiteboard) - Students can practice the language in different spheres: pronunciation, grammar, conversational topics, home and online reading, listening, writing - I create courses based on the most famous official textbooks' publications (you don't need to buy them!) Now I still live in Finland and help everyone who needs English as a language in a family, as a hobby, for study or work. Let's continue our classes with the most popular language in the world, where from the very first lesson you will feel more comfortable with English using interactive platforms, an online whiteboard and other state-of-the-art tools! I will be glad to see you soon! Bye-bye!
