I work with students to help them craft essays that are persuasive, well-organized, grammatically correct, and syntactically effective. I also train students to read critically to extract the main ideas and arguments from any text, whether it’s a poem, a novel, or a press release. I moved to Dallas from Moscow in 2013, where I lived while conducting archival research...

...a firm believer that to be able to learn or to master a new language you need to be exposed to the culture, to hear the language and to have no choice than to speak the language.

During this year I fell in love with the Windy City, the Cubs, and deep dish pizza. I also learned...
