I LOVE RUSSIAN!
\
\////In 1998 I graduated with honours from the Philological Faculty of Moscow State University n.a. Lomonosov. I qualified in two specialisms: philologist, specializing in Russian studies, and teacher of Russian as a foreign language. Then I took a postgraduate course. In 2002 I defended my thesis and was awarded a PhD in philological science.

////In 1998 I began to work in the Center for International Education at Lomonosov Moscow State University. I taught Russian to foreign students (beginners). In 2003 I was promoted to senior teacher. In November 2013 the Center of International Education was renamed the Institute of Russian Language and Culture. \/////Over the years I have worked with dozens of students. Usually they begin to study the language from zero, starting from the alphabet, and finally progress to Russian in the Basic or the First Certificate levels and pass appropriate tests successfully. The “First Certificate level” in the TORFL (ТРКИ) classification system corresponds more or less with the European level “B1”, or “upper intermediate”. It’s the level that allows you to get higher education in Russia. Students who have continued their studies as well as students of correcting courses felt satisfied with their progress in Russian.
\
\
\/////My individual students are people who learn Russian for different reasons, personal (a Russian spouse, Russian roots, interest to Russian culture, love to learn new languages) or professional (senior managers in Russian representative offices of international companies, interpretors, people working in the foreign affairs sphere). I also provided language training service for Global LT, Learnlight, Global Arena in Moscow.

I like the Russian language. I believe that language is a living thing and it lives its own life. To observe its behavior is one of the most fascinating activities in the world.
I like teaching Russian to foreigners. To teach is to constantly solve puzzles: how could I describe the maximum of language facts in the minimum steps. To teach is, according Socrates, to be a “midwife” who helps ideas to be born, i.e. who helps a student “to give birth” to new knowledge about the structure of the Russian language.
And I like my students. There are so many stresses in our life – a lesson should not be one more stressful situation for a client. It’s extremely important that at a lesson we would feel comfortable and would be able just to relax and smile.
