Tatyana Lochekhina
I'm a native Russian and a professional teacher of Russian as a foreign language with more than 8 years experience. I graduated from Herzen State Pedagogical University in Saint - Petersburg with a master degree  in teaching. My job is very interesting. I love it very much for the fact that you can almost immediately get the result. After few lessons my students can read in Russian and it makes all of us very happy! It's also very challenging to teach those who think that learning Russian is impossible, the language is too difficult and the grammar is too boring, and to prove the opposite.
I'm also sure that languages reflect the mentality of nations, so I want my students to feel the Russian way of thinking when they speak the language. I enjoy immersing the students in Russian reality, so we often sing Russian songs, watch films and cartoons. I love the Russian sense of humor, so at the lessons I tell a lot of jokes and funny stories to make the process of studying more vivid and to depict our attitude to life. I adore Russian Literature, history and art and I want to demonstrate their treasures to students."
