I have anMA in English language and literature and also in Russian. Since 2009 I have been living with my husband in the Czech Republic. I have a wide range of teaching experience.

Increasing my own qualifications is the main goal for me. Every year I take part in several conferences. Last year I decided to increase my qualificationsby taking the IHCYLT course. In July 2016 I successfully completed the CELTA course in International House London. I also enrolled in a teacher training program in Ireland (September 2016).
