8 years of teaching in Kazakhstan and China

I chose teaching because I love watching the lightbulb moments—it’s like watching fireworks, but with more grammar involved. Also, who wouldn’t want a job where you get to teach the Cyrillic alphabet and make people feel like they’ve unlocked a secret code? In my humble opinion, I am a good teacher mainly because I’ve mastered the fine art of turning confusion into "aha!" moments, which is basically my superpower as a language teacher. I’m passionate about making learning fun—whether it's through games, role-plays, or the occasional dramatic performance when explaining tricky topics. I guess that I inspire my students by focusing on practical, real-world scenarios so they can order borscht confidently and not just mutter “Da” to everything.  

Obtaining Master's degree while taking care of 2 newborn children.

I like doing yoga, meditate and reading books.

I would like to build an international language program that makes students feel like James Bond, but instead of gadgets, they’re armed with words—perfect for any multilingual mission.
