About Elena
Hello!
I'm Elena, a professional educator with 35 years of experience teaching English as a second language. Born in Georgia and educated in London, UK, and Moscow, Russia, I've taught English in Moscow to publishers of Bazaar and Forbes, as well as students from primary school to university.
I've also held roles at English First and Oxford Learning, where I focused on teaching children with disabilities. Additionally, I have worked for foreign embassies and international missions as a diplomatic assistant, interpreter, and translator, which allowed me to gain a deep understanding of cross-cultural communication.
Having lived in both London, England, and London, Canada, I have developed a unique teaching style that blends global perspectives with individualized learning strategies.
I have multiple awards for teaching excellence and an award from the European Space Agency for interpretation and translation.
I am fluent in English and Russian, proficient in German, and have basic knowledge of Chinese.
