About Me
italki teacher since Feb 11, 2016InterestsReadingWritingArt
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.My teaching material

Fantastic teacher. There might be times when I'm not in the mood for a lesson but Kiriana makes them enjoyable and successful every time, and at the end of it I'm in a much better mood :)
