About Me
italki teacher since Feb 27, 2012
Hi, my name is Irina. I’m from Russia. Foreign languages have always attracted me. There is a kind of magic in every new language when you try it. It’s like becoming another person without leaving your body. At the time of the USSR, behind the iron curtain, I could only dream about far-away countries and using OTHER languages. Well, at present I’m unable not only to travel, but even to leave my apartment, and as a wheelchair user I’ve devoted my life to teaching. Besides this, I’m interested in psychology, history, film, art, cookery and, of course, reading. I graduated from Saratov university in 1992. As a philologist, I have a clear picture of the learning process. How to get to your goal without wasting loads of time? There isn’t a common answer for everyone. It depends on personality of each student. I have over 25 years of experience. In the preparation of every lesson, I use all my creativity and look for the best way to give information which is pertinent to you. My lessons are designed around my students' needs, interests and their native languages. No matter who you are and what your level of Russian is, you can be sure we’ll talk and joke in Russian quite soon. In addition to a classical set of teaching materials, I make the most of games, movies and songs. So…book a trial lesson and decide if my style of teaching is suitable for you!

I really enjoyed my lesson with Irina. She has abundant materials to discuss during the lesson and I get a lot of speaking practice and it is helpful to get corrections after I speak so that I can communicate my thoughts and then get the corrections to properly speak. Love the reading materials and audio links. Looking forward to another lesson!

Irina is a great teacher. She did everything I expected to have in my first lesson and planned very well. She covered a lot in 30 minutes and felt she understood where I was at with Russia and what my goals were etc. I will be taking more of her classes in this week! :) Great job Irina, A++++

I am attending classes regularly with Irina for the past few months and I am very satisfied with her teaching method. She’s very supportive with homework and provides lots of digital material to practice during free time. Her teaching is enjoyable and that facilitates motivation.

I loved my first lesson with Irina and will be booking more soon. She was very prepared and her lessons have a good balance of grammar instruction (just the right amount of explanation before moving on to conversational practice, which is my focus), culture, and vocabulary. She gave me many useful tips on expanding my vocabulary through music and cartoons, and I appreciated the emphasis on conversation and pronunciation which are the aspects I most wish to improve. Furthermore, Irina is very warm and obviously likes teaching, so it is a pleasure to work with her. I will be booking more lessons. спасибо Большое, до скорого!
