I am a native English speaker, knowing Russian, Japanese, German and Hongkongese. I was born in British Hong Kong. Besides Hong Kong, I have lived in the UK and New Zealand in the past. I graduated with first class honours from my university. My former professions were civil engineering and aviation. Three years ago I started my teaching career. Initially, I worked in Vladivostok as a full-time teacher. I teach children in groups and individually. Besides English classes, I also taught cooking classes, science classes, and musical classes there. One of my main responsibilities was editing musical scripts and ensuring that our students could perform their roles correctly. Seven months ago I moved to St. Petersburg. At present, I teach as a freelancer. In addition to teaching online, I also teach live classes. In my classes, I place a lot of emphasis on revision, not on the same day when the language is taught, but throughout the whole language course. I motivate students to speak more because it allows them to actively use language in different contexts and increases their confidence in their abilities.
