About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2018Me as a Teacher
I speak Russian and elementary Mandarin. I was raised with Russian as my native language, but I was raised in America, and that’s why I don’t have an accent. I can help you with business English, conversational English, and preparing for interviews. My lessons & teaching style
I can cover topics such as basic and conversational English (i.e. introductions, small talk), business English (i.e. jobs, careers, talking to your boss), and cultural exchanges. I take the "practice-test-teach-review" approach. I require that if you’re a new student, please tell me about your English level, and what class topics you’re interested in. This helps me prepare a lesson that is beneficial for you, and a good use of your time.My teaching material

Thank you, Tamara! I recommend for Russian students because I think that is very helpful when a teacher can explain some moments in Russian
