Bio

I was born in Hamburg, but when I was a four-year child my mother took me back to Moscow as she had fallen apart with my father. Despite learning English for the whole of my conscious life, I still want to enhance my English skills. I'm particularly eager to do translations for TED.

I'm passionate about

II'm totally in love with quite a wide range of genres of music and now I'm being taught how to work in musical programmes in exchange of teaching English. Besides that I'm passionate about posh English accent as well as the English phonetics - I do cherish the way it sounds. I'm also keen on reptiles, especially tropical lizards. To be precise - I adore green basilisks. Last but not least I'm addicted to humour.

An idea worth spreading

I'm a firm believer that it's worth including etymology in the school education programme since it would help people grasp various kinds of things in a faster and more profound way.
