InterestsArtEnvironment & NatureTravelHistoryFood
My name is Katya and I was born and raised in California in the United States.
I have a graduate degree in English.
I love teaching English to learners because it forces me to see my mother tongue in new and interesting ways!
I enjoy exploring forests and mountains, folk dancing, cooking and trying to learn other languages. I am a student here on italki too! In the future, I want to learn how to rock climb.
