Experience: I hold a bachelor with honours degree in Linguistics (Theory and Methods of Teaching Foreign Languages and Cultures) from Moscow State Pedagogical (Teacher Training) University (2016). I have also received a certificate from Moscow State University Russian Language Center (2017), qualifying as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language. In 2020 I`ve also received two additional certificates from Saint Petersburg State University - I studied Methods of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language and Modern Pedagogy.

I have been teaching languages for more than 8 years. I am proud to say that I am truly passionate about my profession and what I do. Prior to moving to the UK, I was teaching English. I also have experience in preparing students for examinations at the University of Edinburgh.

I try to advance in my profession, constantly improving my materials, skills, methods, techniques and knowledge. I make my own materials, flashcards and exercises. I also dedicate a fair amount of time to learning new methods, techniques and self-improving.
