25 years of experience in different areas (14 year in teaching) in Russia
What makes you a good teacher?
I like to see understanding in kids' eyes, when they got the point, I'm explaining. Through my diverse carrier, I've accumulated some knowledge I'm eager to share with my students. I'm really interested in my students' everyday life, their ideas, slang they're using. I try to find out what makes them happy, why are they sad, which helps me to find a common language with them. I always try to lead by example, solve problems with them, investigate the question deeper and let them see it at a wider angle.
Achievements:
My two kids and a beautiful garden
Lifestyle:
I really enjoy going different places, learning the way other people live, noticing the intercultural differences, enjoing our similarities. I prefer active way of spending my holidays: mountain skiing, it's been couple of years now, that I've reopened cross country skiing for myself, bycicling. I find real pleasure to lose myself in the serenity of the garden in summer, growing flowers, fruits and vegetables. I like spending evenings with my family and friends, playing guitar or singing songs.
Dreams & Ambitions:
One of my dreams is to see my students becoming decent members of the society and maybe famous, so that I could proudly say - I know that guy, he was my student once!
