Hello!!
I am Karina, and I'm a professional Russian and English teacher. I have lived in two beautiful Russian cities - Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 2021, I have moved to India.
I've learned Mandarin in my school and I've been learning french for several months. I believe that this experience has helped me gain a better understanding of the difficulties in learning a new language.
Добрый день!
Меня зовут Карина и я дипломированный преподаватель Русского и Английского языков. Я учила китайский в школе и уже несколько месяцев учу французский. Я уверенна, что опыт изучения разных иностранных языков помогает мне понимать трудности моих учеников.
Me as a Teacher
I hold a bachelor's degree in English Linguistics and I've done TEFL certification. Russian language is my mother tongue and I’ve also completed РКИ certification.
I’ve been teaching Russian and English for several years. I've experience working with a variety of age groups as well as different levels.
I am very patient, supportive which helps you to become more confident in English conversation and reach your goal.
Я имею диплом бакалавра лингвистики и сертификаты TEFL. Русский - мой родной язык, и к тому же я закончила курс РКИ. Я преподаю уже больше 5 лет. У меня есть опыт работы с учениками всех возрастов и уровней.
Я очень спокойна и терпелива, всегда помогу достичь вашей цели.My lessons & teaching style
I customize my lesson plans according to a student's level, needs, and goals.
I like using the communicative approach as I find speaking with somebody in a particular language is the main reason why you want to learn it. Although it's essential to teach vocabulary and grammar, you always can turn it into a communicative exercise and practice speaking. Of course, sometimes it takes mastering listening, reading, and writing skills and I also work with my students on that.
Я планирую занятия согласно вашему уровню, цели и потребностям. Мне нравится применять коммуникативный подход, так как общение это основная цель изучения языка. Также мы слушаем, читаем и пишем на моих уроках.My teaching material

I've been taking Russian with Karina for a few months now. I've found Karina extremely helpful and knowledgeable, as well as flexible with times. The lessons have given me a much better grasp of Russian grammar as well as a chance to use the language in a controlled, unintimidating setting. Karina also shares various interesting and sometimes funny aspects of Russian culture which I've really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to learn and improve their Russian.

It has been a year since I started learning English with Karina and my progress is really good! Each lesson is fascinating and I always learn something new about English and our world. The atmosphere is always friendly. She gives me useful advice for learning English and she inspires me to improve my skills. Now I feel more confident than before and can talk with people without fear of being misunderstood. That's amazing.

Мой ребенок занимается с Кариной уже год. За это время заметно подтянулся в знаниях по английскому языку. Уже самостоятельно выполняет домашние задания к школьным урокам, пытается переводить вывески на английском языке. Надеюсь, что дальнейшие занятия помогут преодолевать и дальше языковой барьер. Спасибо!
