    About Victoria M.

    I am very dedicated to what I do, whether it is lesson preparation or teaching itself. I hold two degrees, MA in Second Language Acquisition (ESL) and MA in Russian and Slavic Studies from the University of Missouri. Being a native Russian speaker allows me to make my lessons fun and interactive, I love seeing results and progress in my students. I work hard to help my students achieve results. This job brings me a great deal of reward and satisfaction. Besides teaching I enjoy photography, cooking, traveling, and of course spending the time with my family.

    She is a very good teacher, but the pace of the lessons is too fast.

    Victoria is a great teacher. She works on what exactly you need to improve your English language It could be grammar, communication and vocabulary etc. I learned so much during my class with her. I will definitely recommend her.
