My mission - help people gain knowledge in an interactive way. Seeing smiles on students' faces and feeling their improvements is one of the best things I've ever experienced. I have traveled a lot and spoken to people from every corner of the world which helped me gain an unforgettable experience and flexibility in topics that we might discuss during the classes.

I use lots of methods. The main ones are communicative and lexical approaches.

• Communicative - we focus on students' own experiences which helps them be fully involved in the process.
• Lexical - we learn new words and phrases and use them in describing students' feelings, experiences, and targets.

I DON'T let students read raw grammatical textbooks and punish them for mistakes. Making mistakes is the way to master a new language. The most important thing is to speak and express ideas.

I worked with every age 3-60 (even with elderly students). Finding approaches for each student is crucial - and you know what? I know how to do it 😎. I participated in various summer camps in China, public classes, and outdoor activities. I took part in creating suitable teaching plans for the international training centers.

It's crucial to be a real example for students and share all specter of emotions - from frustration to satisfaction. I was studying Chinese 7 years ago. I fully understand how difficult it might be to learn new languages. I am eager to walk this path to success with my students by supporting them through all the difficulties.
