About me

I believe that learning a language should be practical, engaging, and focused on communication. While I help my students build a solid foundation in grammar, I also encourage them to start speaking from the very first lesson. My goal is to help you become both accurate and confident in using English in real-life situations. Having learned English as a second language myself, I know firsthand that reaching an advanced level is absolutely possible. I earned a PhD from a U.S. university and spent eight years in the United States working full-time as a researcher and educator in English. In addition, I completed TEFL training and use contemporary, research-informed teaching methods that help students make steady, lasting progress. I believe that the best results come when students develop the skills to keep learning independently, so I share practical tools and strategies you can use outside our lessons as well. I am particularly well suited to work with Russian-speaking students and speakers of other Slavic languages. As a native Russian speaker with a PhD in Slavic Studies, I understand the specific challenges that Slavic-language speakers face when learning English. I can identify common patterns of error, explain why they occur, and help students avoid them before they become habits.
