I graduated in Moscow, Russia as a teacher of science and worked for a period of two years in a school in Moscow.
I came to the UK and started working for a Russian oil company in London where I was involved with translations. I then worked as a translator for the Bank of England.
I co-wrote a book a book in 1998 called "Talk Russian" for the BBC which was used to support a Russian language programme that they were presenting.
I commenced working in the education sector in the UK in 1998 when I was engaged as a preparatory school teacher in an independent Prep school in Essex, where I continued until 2004.
Since 1998 I have undertaken a number of tutoring assignments privately teaching Russian language.

I taught at preparatory school teacher in Essex for 6 yeas as a class teacher covering all subjects for years 3 to 6.
1998 to date private tuition of students and business people in Russian language.

My approach depends on the type and needs of the students that I am tutoring, and as such I have a very open mind when first meeting them.
The methods of study will vary considerably. The younger students will need tuition geared to passing examinations whilst the more mature students are generally looking for an ability to be able top correspond orally, however with the latter I use elements of grammar and spelling as well.
I have access to several resources and use them accordingly
