I am a native Russian and a Russian Citizen who speaks fluent English and presently lives in the USA as a wife of an American Citizen. I have been working as a teacher of English as a foreign language for Non-state Educational Institution “First English Club” (further EF school - a Stavropol office of Russian branch of the world's largest private education company EF Education), for 6 years and I have been a private tutor in Russian as a foreign language for the last 5 years and in English for 18 years. I have taught students aged from 3 up to 68 years old individually or in groups of 2 up to 15 students for different purposes such as academic studies, professional use, traveling and etc... I customized the programs to the specific content needs of clients. My professional diploma in Engineering and a job experience of engineer-designer allowed me to be the only teacher at EF school, who created special programs for teaching language for professional use.
In 2010 I passed Teaching Knowledge Test of Cambridge University ESOL Examination with band 4 - excellent result. I combine communicative approach, language immersion method and use multimedia, internet resources and modern facilities to develop conversational and listening skills of students, and broaden their horizons by immersing them in key social and cultural aspects of the world of language study.
I also would like to mention that I am a second generation teacher, as my mother was a teacher of Russian language and literature for more than 40 years. I am keen on different methods of teaching languages and fond of Russian and English classical literature, feature films, old musicals and documentaries about countries, their history and culture. I feel as though my experience, education, wide range of interests as well as personal qualities like patience, tolerance, sociability, responsibility, goodwill together with the will to help my students to succeed would be valuable to my clients and help me to be a top quality tutor for them.
