Master your Russian with "Genuine Russian Ivan" (c) I hold a Russian-English translator’s degree from Moscow State University, although I have never worked as a translator. Instead, I have spent my entire career working with the Russian language as a copywriter, editor-in-chief and scriptwriter. I know how to explain new material and be patient in teaching. Throughout my career, I've successfully coached several individuals to master Russian writing, leading to their publications in top magazines and websites. Now, as a part of an international project I'm tackling the tough challenge of teaching Russian to AI.

I studied Linguistics (French and English) in Moscow and afterwards I did my Master's degree in Educational Sciences in Finland. I did an internship in Italy, where I taught Russian to Italian students at the University of Pavia, and I also did another internship in Spain for teaching English. I prefer to act like 'a friend' to my student rather than as an authoritarian controller. I 'guide' the students' learning, helping them to achieve their best results and making sure that they enjoy learning with me.

Certified experienced teacher I studied English Language and Literature at Sokhumi State University for three years; afterward, I won in a contest and studied as an exchange student at Malmö University, in Malmö, Sweden, for a year. After returning home, I decided to teach only. However, after a year I started studying for a master's degree in English Philology at Ilia State University. Shortly after, I found out that I love teaching English more than just doing research or reading theories, thus I enrolled in a Teacher Training Educational Program (English Language for Primary/Lower/Upper Secondary School and studied for a year.
