Ivy Kalikova : Russian

Hello, guys!

I am Ivy, a native Russian speaker. I love to teach Russian and share my knowledge with my students. Even though my main specialization is Engineering which I did at Monash university in Australia, I love teaching. I have been teaching English and Russian for over 4 years.

My other hobbies are playing the guitar, body-pump and pilates. I am creative, funny, responsible and patient, the last one I've got from my teaching experience:) I love teaching and I want to teach Russian as it is an interesting language and not difficult to learn.
