About Me
italki teacher since Apr 13, 2021Interest topicScienceHistoryMusicFoodArt
Hi everyone!
My name is Faina. I'm a language teacher, musician, coffee nerd and a lifelong languages' learner.
I currently live in Berlin, and I'm learning my fifth foreign language.
Teaching is a big part of my life. Alongside languages, I teach music and drumming.
In my spare time, I run a blog about speciality coffee, go jogging and play musical instruments.
I'm interested in plenty of things, from art and music to science and society, and I'm always glad to chat with like-minded people.Me as a Teacher
✏️ I graduated from the Moscow State University Russian Language Center and got a qualification as a professional teacher. I teach as a qualified teacher since 2020, but I started my tutor practice earlier while still a student.
I'm interested in learning areas related to the language, such as psycholinguistics, linguistic studies, etc. It helps me to better understand the processes of language learning and teaching.My lessons & teaching style
✏️ I believe that the more personalised language you use is, the more likely you are to remember it. That's why for every lesson, for all students, I create a personalised PDF presentation with the learning materials. It is always created specifically for students' needs. And it's super convenient — everything in one place, easy to teach, easy to learn.
I avoid outdated materials and teach the authentic language.
My students are always my friends. I think that the friendly atmosphere is a truly important thing in a class. That allows you to feel comfortable, relaxed and confident.My teaching material

From my experience as a language learner on italki, only some teachers actually spend extra time outside of lessons helping their students, such as sharing material of the topics you are learning, reviewing homework, or just answering questions that, as a student, you may have suddenly, but Faina always goes the extra mile in her lessons with great kindness, positivity, humility, and versatility.✨
I have been learning Russian with Faina for almost 4 months and I am more than happy and satisfied to work with her!😊Faina is an amazing and outstanding person, teacher and study partner. 🌻 ¡5 de 5 estrellas! ¡Muchas gracias, querida Faina! 💐
