    About Me

    Hi everyone! Hola a todos! Привет всем!
    As an experienced expat and teacher who has lived and worked in USA, Sweden, Russia, China and Spain, I am a strong believer that language is a vehicle for communication, and just like driving any vehicle is a SKILL that has to be learned by "using" that vehicle, the same goes for language learning: merely studying about the language has never helped anyone to actually speak that language.

    As a friendly, patient and experienced teacher, my lessons focus on developing communication skills in English, Spanish, and Russian for adult travelers or immigrants/expats. I specialize in interview preparation, overcoming language barriers, identifying and solving your specific language problems, as well as helping you use the language you already know—I have had first-hand experience dealing and working with all these myself and with my clients.

    You are going to be able to use the language from the first lesson.

    In our first lesson we get to know each other as a learner and as a teacher. It's very important for you to share your expectations about how you see our language classes and what language outcomes you are looking to achieve. After that I will give you my suggestions that will help you to accomplish your learning goals according to your specific needs and situation as no learner is the same.

    SAT - Scholastic Aptitude Test refers to a standardized college admissions test.
    The SAT test is taken by high school students to demonstrate to colleges what the prospective student knows and how well they can apply their knowledge. There are three aspects of the test: reading, writing, and math. SAT scores are sent out to your desired colleges and universities as part of the admissions package. Study your SAT with me and let me help you pass. I come with 5 years of professional experience in SAT prep. I am well vested with the British and American curriculum and I am very competent. I strive creating trusting relationships with students, parents, and other staff I teach students on full-time and part-time basis from The USA, The Caribbean, The UK, INDIA, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, German, France, Italy and South Africa. Book a lesson with me. We can start any day any time.

    Become fluent in English! Recent graduate of the world's number 1 public university—University of California, Berkeley.
    I learned English in 3 months before moving to the USA in 2021. My method will help you achieve your goals! As a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley—ranked the number 1 public university in the US and the world—my greatest asset is undoubtedly the cultural richness that my studies have brought me. I believe the best way to learn is through interaction. I organize my classes around my students, their interests, and their areas for improvement! I currently teach English to international students at my university. I also help with a writing club and elementary school students. One of my strengths is communication; I'm very comfortable speaking. For example, I gave the 2023 Graduation speech at my previous institution in Santa Barbara. I'm here to help you achieve your goals!
