Good day,
My name is Elena, I am 27. I live on Sint Maarten, an island in The Caribbean Sea since 2014. I speak English, my husband is a native English speaker. As most of my friends are from different countries, I have a lot of practice with different accents. I speak Russian as well.
I received an art education in Moscow, Russia - now I am teaching art and English abroad. I have 1,6 years teaching experience.
The difference in hours between Sint Maarten and Russia - 7 hours less than in Russia.
With USA - depends of the city.
Also I was travelling a lot: South and North America, European countries, all of Russia (from Vladivostok to Moscow, Sochi), African counties, islands in the Indian and Pacific Ocean, Caribbean islands, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Mongolia. I can advise a lot of different places to visit , tell about culture, food and sightseeings.
I have several students, attending business meetings, translating from English to Russian and vice versa. Teaching languages opened for me a lot: I talk and meet people from another countries with different accents. I have travel experience which I share with my students to encourage them , help to find out something new.
You should not be afraid to start learning and don’t hesitate to ask any questions you are worried about. I will explain the nuances to help foreigners understand the culture and the mindset. I have an Individual approach and modern teaching methods.
I will be glad to share with you my experience and knowledge.
