I have been teaching adults, teenagers, and kindergarten kids. Every category of students has its unique aspects that make teaching quite an exciting adventure. I also have experience working with a big group of students as well as individuals.
Education
In 2014 I successfully finished my CELTA course in International house in Wroclaw. Even though I already had a lot of teaching experience, it was a great opportunity to polish my knowledge and expand the understanding of teaching techniques.
In 2011 I graduated from Penza State Teaching Training University. I hold a Master’s degree in Journalism and Russian philology. I am glad that I had an opportunity to be taught by one of the most experienced teachers with a USSR schooling background.
