I'm a multilingual English teacher, editor and translator with a passion for helping learners connect with language across cultures. I've taught English to children and adults in Russia and South Korea, and I enjoy creating clear, engaging learning experiences. Outside the classroom, I edit and translate texts, collaborate with research teams, and explore how language shapes our understanding of the world. I'm curious, reliable, and always eager to take on new challenges.
