I'm a student at Vanderbilt University majoring in Human and Organizational Development, with minors in Business and Spanish for the Professions. Born in Irkutsk, Russia, I moved to Chicago at age ten without knowing any English. Having learned two languages from the ground up, I understand the challenges and rewards of language learning firsthand.

As a fluent Russian speaker, I'm passionate about sharing my culture and helping students of all ages feel confident in their Russian skills. I tailor lessons to each learner's needswhether it's grammar, pronunciation, or conversationcreating a supportive, engaging space where growth comes naturally.
