About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2018Interest topicHistoryMusicFashion & BeautyFilms & TV SeriesArt
My name is Tamara. I love traveling, doing yoga, reading and listening to music. I lived in China for four years, and have traveled all over Thailand, Cambodia, South Korea, Ukraine, and Czech Republic. I’m currently living in the US.Me 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, IELTS, and preparing for interviews. I also enjoy covering a wide variety of topics according to your interests. I believe that learning should be fun - if it's fun, it's easier to remember!My lessons & teaching style
I can cover topics such as basic and conversational English (i.e. introductions, small talk, special interests, hobbies), 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

Excellent tutor! I really grateful to Tamara for incredibly useful and fun classes. She also speaks Russian perfectly and always helps me to explain some topics and rules.
I highly recommend her classes, especially, who learn American English.

Tamara is the John Wick of English lessons. I know that if my Russian starts messing around with my English, she'll make sure not a single Russian thing remains alive.

Мне очень понравился урок. Тамара была внимательной и терпеливой. Хорошо объясняет материал. Доброжелательная и приятная. Хочу продолжать учить Английский язык вместе с ней. И самое важное , что у Тамары это родной язык и свободный русский.
