Teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language at Tomsk Polytechnic University (preparatory department), PhD in Philology. I develop worksheets for A0–B1 levels and write textbooks on academic Russian. I work extensively with students from Asian countries without an intermediary language, teaching from zero (A0) up to B1. I completed an internship at Jilin University (Changchun, China). I regularly improve my qualifications and am interested in interactive learning technologies and the “flipped classroom” approach. I dream of an ideal textbook that would eliminate the need for hours of lesson preparation.
