Being a teacher is an extremely rewarding job. Since 2010, I have been teaching Russian as a foreign language to both groups and individual students with different language backgrounds, offering online and offline classes.

My classroom experience includes curriculum planning, preparing detailed lesson plans, delivering lessons, and providing required materials for classes of different skill levels and learning styles. I prioritize communicative methods of teaching in my classroom. I also employ TPR and elements of suggestopedia, which are, in fact, becoming more and more popular. Additionally, I use a wide range of online resources such as Quizizz, Quizlet, Wordwall, LearningApps, and others. I also prepare my own materials designed to meet my students’ individual needs.

I create an environment for students to learn effectively and motivate them with enthusiastic and imaginative presentations. Students like my classes and attend them gladly.

I effectively use ICT learning resources, being a confident MS Office user (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). I provide PowerPoint presentations for each lesson I teach, which include exercises in video and audio formats.

I firmly believe that we are all talented; we just need to discover our talents. I believe that the main task of each teacher is to inspire and encourage students to reach their full potential, regardless of age or ability.

We have used Irina's services for many years. Firstly for my son's GCSE Russian and for A-level Russian exams. He passed both exams with A-** grade and the process of preparation was not strenuous but pleasant. At the moment Irina is coaching my daughter for GCSE Russian and my daughter is enjoying her lessons and always looks forward to them. Irina's lessons are always very lively and engaging, she uses a broad range of different activities and keeps her learners motivated with praise. Irina has excellent organisation skills too. It is a real pleasure to be her student, and to work with her!

I highly recommend Irina as a teacher of the Russian language to anybody of any level. Irina's lessons took me from a very basic level to A* at A-level in the space of 3 years. Every lesson is tailored to the learner, which alongside Irina's passion for her native tongue brings out the best in her students. Lessons are always highly enjoyable as well as engaging, interesting and productive. I sincerely believe that anyone who is fortunate enough to be taught by Irina will thrive and discover a long lasting love of Russian language and culture!

Irina is my Russian tutor and I have been learning with her for three years. Due to her expert knowledge and tutoring I have made real progress with the language after starting as a complete beginner. Every lesson is tailored towards my personal learning goals and learning style. They are always organised and well structured. The lessons are productive and enjoyable. I enjoy every lesson!! ?? Irina is a very kind and patient tutor who has helped me immensely with my Russian language skills. I really recommend her as a tutor.
