6 facts about me:
❄️ I was born Tomsk, Russia, but I've been living in the Czech Republic for 9 years.
✈️ I love traveling. I have been to 20 countries in Europe and I hope to visit many more in the future.
🔭 I'm an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer. My husband gave me a telescope for my birthday and we try to get out there every clear night to watch star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae.
🌍I speak 4 languages: Russian, English, Czech, and French.
🎚️I love teaching high-level students (B1-C2) as well as my dear A2s!
📑I'm really into the methodology of language teaching. In my free time, I try to learn as much as I can about teaching and look for ways of improving my classes.

Me as a Teacher
The atmosphere of my classes is very friendly and welcoming. You can always reach out to me after the class to ask questions, or to get additional homework.
I look for students who are really passionate about language learning and willing to put in time and effort.
The first time we meet I conduct a short interview to determine your goals and your current level.
My lessons & teaching style
I like giving my students a lot of time to speak and make mistakes. I use materials developed by Oxford, Cambridge, and National Geographic, and at the same time I use many authentic resources, such as videos, songs, podcasts, films and TV series. For interactive learning, I love using Quizlet, Kahoot, and Edvibe.

Our first lesson with Elena went great. She let me speak and then corrected all my mistakes and helped me understand some aspects of Russian grammar. She is patient, encouraging and professional. Looking forward to our next lesson:)

Elena is truly brilliant, she knows how to challenge you to face your weaknesses AND in the meantime she maintains a positive and productive vibe that she possesses to perfection, not to mention the resources she uses to make the class more than engaging.
Supremely recommended!!
