Natalia Shiryaeva

I have been working with young children for many years and they never cease to amaze me with their curiosity and fun-loving nature. I believe that positive emotional engagement is the key to all learning. This is why I like my lessons to be dynamic, properly paced, with a great deal of laughter and a sense of fun. My goal as a teacher of Russian as a second language is to maintain the students’ motivation by doing everything possible for them to fall in love with the language and to enjoy studying it during their time in Russia. Teaching at ISM gives me the opportunity to gain new experiences and embrace cultural diversity. I am an active person and have a keen interest in sports like figure-skating, volleyball and table tennis. I am also passionate about dancing.
