Hello everyone! / こんにちは!
My name is Irina, and I am a passionate language tutor currently based in beautiful Argentina. I specialize in teaching both English and Russian to students of all levels, helping people from all over the world feel confident and speak fluently.
Having learned foreign languages myself and now living abroad, I completely understand the challenges of breaking the language barrier. My teaching style is friendly, patient, and highly interactive. I truly believe that the best way to master a language is through comfortable, real-life conversations about topics you genuinely enjoy. In my lessons, I always adapt to your personal goals and pace, whether we are focusing on everyday fluency or structuring your skills from scratch.
Behind my friendly approach is a deep professional background. I have over 7 years of linguistic experience, including working as a certified ESL teacher online and a professional literary translator. I’ve spent years translating international non-fiction books on psychology and self-development from English to Russian, and even volunteered translating economics courses for Coursera. I also hold degrees in Linguistics and Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language, along with international certifications like Cambridge BEC and TEFL/TESOL. All of this allows me to bring precise knowledge, business insights, and cultural depth to our classes.
When I’m not teaching, I love exploring my creative and peaceful sides. I am deeply into yoga, which helps me stay mindful and patient, and I absolutely love sketching with colored pencils. Capturing moments on paper is my favorite way to unwind!
Whether you want to polish your conversational English for work and travel, or start your journey into the Russian language, I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you in my class — let's enjoy learning together!
