Hello and welcome!

I'm so excited to work with your child this school year as they continue to grow and succeed in English!

As the ENL (English as a New Language) teacher, I support students who are learning English in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We build language skills through fun, engaging lessons that help your child thrive both in the classroom and beyond!

✨ What to Expect in an ENL Class:

• Daily or weekly small group lessons (depending on your child's English level)

• A focus on vocabulary, grammar, and conversational skills

• Help understand classroom instructions and academic content

• A welcoming environment that celebrates all languages and cultures 🌍

💬 Communication is Key!

I believe that strong partnerships with families help children do their best. I’m always happy to answer questions, offer updates, or just say hello!

🏫 A Bit About Me:

I was born in Russia and moved to New York with my daughters in 2013. While in Russi I taught English and Russian as a foreign language, and I have been teaching ENL in the U.S. public schools since 2020. I love working with students from all over the world and learning about different cultures. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy doing yoga, reading poetry, hiking, biking, taking care of my plants and flowers and spending time with my family.

🌈 Let’s Make It a Great Year!

I’m here to help every student feel confident, capable, and proud of their progress. I look forward to getting to know your child and supporting them every step of the way.

Welcome to our ENL family! 💖
