My name is Malika. I am from Kazakhstan. My native languages are russian and kazakh. After school I went to college where I studied Interpretation (English). I got my bachelor degree in Oriental studies at Eurasian National University. My region of study was Japan. I learned Japanese language as well as economics, politics, history and culture, etc. Went to Japan on behalf of short-term exchange program MIRAI. While Junior year I got interested in Korea and started to learn Korean. Afterwards I studied in Seoul for 1 term. Recently started to learn Greek, Turkish, Farsi and German. Being a native russian and kazakh speaker which are two really different languages from different language families I have got not only knowledge, but also sense of what might be a problem spot for most of my students. Also knowing other languages like English, Korean, Japanese and others let me be more productive with the students. I am very patient with students, but I am also a demanding teacher (in a good sense). With each lesson I try to speak russian more to a student, to the extent of their understanding and comfortable level of difficulty. Besides grammar, which is must of course, we focus on "real" language, using video materials, vlogs, articles, news, songs. Doing your homework makes a great deal of success in the learning process There is a time-limit in our classes, so I would really like it if the students used our time together more productive, by doing their studies at home.
