About me - English
Hi, I'm Kristina. For almost 20 years my life is connected with foreign languages. I've been working as an interpreter for more than 10 years, and I also have extensive experience in teaching Chinese and Russian to both children and adults.
When learning a foreign language, it is very important to immerse yourself in the environment of the country of the language you are studying, to experience its culture and customs, and most importantly - to fall in love with the country and the language! Then learning will bring great pleasure, and the results will not wait!
My lessons are always oriented to the needs and interests of my students.

Привет! Я Кристина. Уже почти 20 лет моя жизнь и основная деятельность связана с иностранными языками. Более 10 лет работаю переводчиком, а также имею богатый опыт преподавания китайского и русского языка как детям, так и взрослым.
При изучении иностранного языка очень важно погрузиться в среду страны изучаемого языка, проникнуться её культурой и обычаями, а главное - влюбиться в страну и язык! Тогда изучение будет приносить огромное удовольствие, и результаты не заставят себя ждать!
Мои уроки всегда ориентированы на запрос и интересы учеников.
