About Me
italki teacher since Feb 11, 2016
Hello! I am a professional private teacher of English and Russian languages running my own studio. I live in Kaluga (it's a beautiful old town not far from Moscow). I've got a big family – my husband and three children who give me lots of enthusiasm, energy and new information about this constantly changing world)).
Most of all, I like good old rock music, good old books and films. I really love my job because it gives me a great opportunity to meet new people and know more about them, their countries and cultures.
Me as a Teacher
I've been working as an English and Russian teacher for 10 years. In 2000 I graduated from Kaluga State Pedagogical University, where I specialized in teaching English and Russian languages. For more than 10 years I worked in news media as a journalist, translator and editor.
I'm a book-worm and hope that my true love and deep knowledge of classical and modern English and Russian literature helps me to teach.
I completed a course of speech therapy and apply these insights to pronunciation development.
My lessons & teaching style
I use traditional and new methods of teaching and always consider my students' needs and their personal style of learning. Most commonly, I use the communicative method of teaching and try to give my students plenty of oral practice and good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.

I had an excellent intro session with Kiriana. She's friendly, patient, and accommodating to new Russian learners. Very much looking forward to working together.
