About me - English
I graduated from State University of Management in Moscow. While studying I was always very interested in learning foreign languages. Together with my friend, we launched a Spanish-speaking club and organized many activities to learn Spanish. After travelling a lot, I attended a course of English teachers and began teaching. I worked with children both individually and in groups. Meanwhile, I took a professional retraining of Lomonosov State University in Russian teaching methodology. My thesis theme was “Characteristic features of teaching Russian to bilingual children”. After completing the course, I was accepted to take part in EVS Erasmus+ project in Spain, where my main tasks were teaching Russian to adults and supporting language practice to children at school. Thus, I can offer the following courses:
-Russian to bilingual children,
-General Russian for children and adults,
-Russian for Business.
