Наша команда

В школе Lingua.ru Вас встретит международная команда, состоящая из преподавателей, преподавателей-консультантов и сотрудников административного персонала, готовых придти к Вам на помощь в любой момент!

Наши преподаватели

В нашей школе работает профессиональная команда преподавателей, которые имеют сертификаты, позволяющие им преподавать английский язык как иностранный в любой стране мира (CELTA, MA in TESOL, IH и т.д.). Не многие школы в России могут похвастаться таким штатом преподавателей. Сертификат CELTA разработан Кэмбриджским университетом (UCLES) - одним из самых престижных университетов в мире, Trinity College London Certificate, MA in TESOL - степень магистра в преподавании английского языка студентам, а также International House (IH) Certificate.

Большое внимание в Lingua.ru уделяется профессиональному росту и развитию преподавателей. Их работу координируют методисты и директора по обучению (Directors of Studies/ Assistants of Directors of Studies), имеющие одну из самых высоких квалификаций в образовании - Cambridge/DELTA. Они регулярно обзервируют занятия учителей со студентами, проводят семинары по методике обучения и оказывают образовательную поддержку преподавателям школы.

Помимо международных сертификатов учителя Lingua.ru имеют высшее гуманитарное образование. Степени в области политики, бизнеса, мировой литературы и культуры позволяют им быть не только преподавателями-специалистами, но и интересными собеседниками.

George

Работает в Lingua.ru около 10-ти лет. Очень общительный и   многосторонний человек.

Интересуется русской культурой, любит обсуждать с нашими студентами историю и делиться своими впечатлениями.

В Америке он получил диплом бакалавра по экономике и диплом MBA, работал в банковской сфере 8 лет, но именно преподавание по-настоящему увлекло Джорджа. Полученное образование и опыт работы очень помогают ему вести занятия и делать их насыщенными и увлекательными.

Для повышения своей квалификации Джордж прошел курс для преподавателей английского языка как иностранного и получил  признанный во всем мире сертификат - CELTA.

"Intelligent, educated, strong, independent thinkers and what a different mentality! These were my strongest impressions of Russians a few months after my arrival here in Moscow 4 years ago. I had never met people so interested in Life. Muscovites always seem ready to do anything, to meet with friends. I almost always heard the same answer when I proposed to anybody here to do anything-"Why not?", "Pochimu Nyet?" It was so good to be in a place where people are so interested in doing things with other people. In America, where I come from, life is much more planned and it's difficult to get anybody to do anything socially. Often I would call a friend and he would say something like- "can you call me back in 20 minutes I'm watching the Simpsons". I was surprised when it never happened here in Moscow.

Russians/Muscovites are unique and I hope they never change, i.e. never become westernized."

 

Kate

Hi!! I'm Kate and I'm a teacher with Lingua.ru. I was born in Moscow and have lived here all my life. I love this city and all that it has to offer. Most of all, I love that I can do all sorts of interesting things in Moscow in one day; for example I can find a quiet spot to sit and read a book, then go to an exhibition, meet some friends in a cafe and finally go to a great rock concert at night.

I graduated from Moscow State Linguistic University in 2005 with a linguistic degree that allows me to teach English. I worked as an English teacher in a secondary school for a year but soon decided that my real love was teaching English to adults. I decided to become a lab teacher at Lingua and took my IH certificate which allows me to teach English to non-native speakers. After a year, I achieved my dream of being an English teacher at Lingua.Ru!

My favourite part about teaching is when I get a chance to see the advances that our students make. Because of Lingua's system, sometimes we don't see a student for a few weeks and when we see them the next time, their progress seems magical! I love seeing that and knowing that I was a part of it!!

I can't wait to see you around our school, make sure you come up and say hi!

 

Svetlana

Hello, I'm Svetlana. I've been teaching English for 7 years now (can't believe it myself!), almost a year with Lingua.ru. I graduated from Minsk State Linguistic University, then taught interpreting at the Management and Law Institute in Minsk. When I came to International House Minsk, I learnt how to teach English with pleasure both for teacher and for students. There I got my IH Certificate in teaching English and worked 5 years teaching kids and adults of all levels. Then I decided to move to Moscow for a change.

What I love most about Lingua are highly motivated students and the flexible schedule.
In my free time I like reading, going out with my family and friends, playing with my three-year-old son and playing computer games :).

 

 

Cheryl

Hi, I'm Cheryl and I'm Australian. This is my second time in Moscow, and with Lingua.ru. I spent 18 months here in 2007 and 2008, and I loved it here so much that I wanted to come back again, so I did! After I left Moscow in May 2008, I did a lot of travelling. I went to Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, France and Switzerland, but I didn't find another place that I love as much as I love Moscow. I also really enjoy teaching at Lingua.ru. The students are so friendly and eager to learn, and it's a pleasure to teach them as they love talking! I plan to try to learn Russian while I'm here this time, and also to discover a little more of Moscow and the Russian way of life.

 

 

Joby

Hello, I'm Joby. Born in England, I've lived there for most of my life, but

have traveled around a bit too. It's great to have arrived in Moscow. Although the city is new to me, I feel at home already.

Since graduating from The University of Bristol, I've completed a TEFL course and worked in a variety of places. After one week of teaching at Lingua.Ru I already feel inspired to stay here for a long time. The students and the general atmosphere make it a great place to work.

 

Katrine

Hi, my name's Katrine and I'm from Moscow. Well, here is my story. I graduated from the State University of Management with a degree in human resources. I worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers, HR department, for 2 years, which was a great experience for me and I developed both professionally and personally there.

I used to be a student at Lingua.ru myself and as a student I loved this school so much. Lingua is really unique! There is always a special atmosphere with friendly and helpful teachers and staff. Students have a great opportunity to study with different teachers and practice English a lot in classes, in the hall and reception. :) I was really upset to leave Lingua when I finished it.

Although I worked in a great team, during my second year with PwC I realized that working in an office, sitting in front of my computer for the whole day and preparing different reports are not as fascinating as I had thought. I wanted to do something more rewarding. By that time I'd finished Advanced and absolutely fallen in love with the English language. So, I decided to become an English teacher. While working for PwC, I continued studying English and I passed both the FCE and then the CAE. After that I earned my CELTA certificate which has allowed me to get a job at Lingua.ru. Finally, my dream to return to Lingua as a teacher came true in March 2008!

James

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona, one of the hottest cities in the United States. I had an interest in Russia and the Soviet Union since childhood, and began studying Russian in high school at the age of 14. During my three years of study I traveled to Southern Russia as part of an exchange. Since then, I decided that I wanted to return to Russia and worked very hard to do so. After seven years, I finally accomplished that goal. In addition to Russian, I have also studied Polish, Serbo-Croatian, and a number of other languages, and I have a basic understanding of other languages ranging from German to Japanese. At the moment I am studying Tatar. In addition to linguistics, I have a passion for history and politics, writing, and I enjoy intellectual discussions, good food, and the company of intelligent people.

 

 

Alex

Hello, my name is Alex, I was born in London, and, apart from a year in Spain, I have lived there all my life. At university I studied Classics, Latin and ancient Greek, and after a brief stint training in law and accountancy I worked in the City for a number of companies. At the beginning of 2009 I retrained as a teacher and, after applying for a few jobs, came to Moscow at the beginning of August. I chose Moscow because of my interest in the country, my desire to learn the language and the opportunity to experience a city as vibrant as London, but perhaps with greater extremes. So far it hasn't disappointed, although my Russian is still terrible. I am learning however. Since starting to teach here I've been struck by the openness and affability of the Russian character and the startlingly fresh viewpoint they bring to even the most conventional of questions. I'm really enjoying my time here and I hope to see you all soon.
Alex

 

 

 

Eric

 My name is Eric. I have been living in Moscow since 2010, but I used to live in Irkutsk. I have a degree from Ohio University (United States) in Russian Literature and have studied Slavistics at Irkutsk State Technical University. I decided to come to Moscow because only in Moscow is there so much history, beauty, and fun! Also I was getting tired of the -45C winters in Siberia. :) I love Lingua.ru and I love working with hard working students. I have taught both English and Russian for several years, and I can say that at Lingua we have the best atmosphere.
