Spanish with Zhenya M.

I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia and have always had an immense love for languages and cultures of the world. I found that diving into a new language and culture is one of the most incredible, joyful, compassionate and meaningful paths to discovering the world. All the while, rediscovering one’s own unique interests and curiosities. It’s always surprising and rewarding in ways we can’t foresee. As a longtime, professional independent instructor, I never imagined where my languages and creative work would lead me and the wonderful folks I would encounter along the way. It’s been a journey of incredible variety. I had the beautiful experience of creating and teaching the first Russian, French and Italian classes to children in public elementary schools all around Oxnard. I was invited to teach French and Italian classes in the Ventura College Community Education, Russian immersion program for the U.S. Government and English to a team of international entrepreneurs and their families. And beyond! This work and my students inspired a joyful dedication to creating live video classes. I discovered that it’s a special, interactive and awesome platform into the world and I love seeing it grow. I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your language journey. Till then, Your Zhen
