My name is Natalia and I am delighted to tell you a few things about me. I am one of these people that never wondered “what job will I do?”. I have always known that I wanted to teach. I truly believe, that being a teacher is foremost a vocation, that requires attention and dedication, ongoing and detailed work on the subject and of course patience and love. Additionally, a teacher’s job bears an enormous responsibility. For a non-professional may not only impart wrongful knowledge but also deprive of a student’s lifelong desire for learning. Nevertheless, a teacher’s profession is one of the few that brings priceless joy rewarding all the efforts and making them meaningful. My goal is not only to impart learning but also my yearning and my love for the scope. Without these, learning of a foreign language is reduced to a sterile and boring repetition of grammatical rules.
I graduated from Minsk State Linguistic University, and I received the qualification of English teacher. At university I also studied German, Spanish, French and Italian. Moving to Greece added the Greek language to my list. Working with foreigners also prompted me to undergo professional retraining at the Moscow State University and obtain a diploma of teaching Russian as a foreign language. As a result of working with children, a certificate was obtained from the Russian University of People's Friendship under the program "Teaching Russian language to children of compatriots abroad".
My work experience is more than twenty years. I teach Russian, English, Greek, Spanish, German, Italian and French to students of all ages and levels. For each person I create an individual plan depending on the goals. With someone we prepare for exams, with someone for business trips, and with someone we study just for ourselves. I also consult teachers on methodological issues.
The class lasts 60 minutes via video link. Materials and programs are discussed privately.
