Enjoy being with my family: my wife, two daughters and two sweetest grandchildren. Outside of work I like reading, writing and composing poems. Love to translate poems from English to Russian as a hobby. Wrote my own book a few years ago. Volunteer work is a big part of my life: I worked with disadvantaged groups, teens, kids and I just love being with people. I value honesty, diligence and curiosity.

Bachelor of Arts in Russian Language and Literature, including Teacher Training, and one semester of undergraduate study in Foreign Language Education (English) from a regionally accredited U.S. university or college

I've been teaching Russian language & Literature and English language for 40+ years. Age range of my students is from 3-18. For me teaching is something I do not only for work, I do it for life. I enjoy searching for a specific approach to every new student I have. From my experience of more than 40 years of teaching kids, teens and adults, I can say that every person can learn and be successful in it, but the crucial figures in this process are we, teachers. We can make a student love our subject and make them hate it until the end of their life. We have a huge responsibility and I do enjoy it. Because I can see the result of my work in students' faces and when I see how they apply new knowledge and their life is changing for the better.
