I was born and raised in Russia and studied English at the University there. I moved to the United States about 10 years ago. Teaching has been a passion of mine- I come from 4 generations of teachers. I also have studied and worked in the beauty field and like to bring more holistic philosophy into all that I do. I like to spend my free time gardening and in nature. I believe that every child has a special gift and it’s our responsibility to help a child open this inner flower. The first time I was in a Montessori classroom, I didn’t feel like I was at work, and realized that teaching Montessori is what I needed to do. Excited to help create a natural, harmonious, motivating, peaceful environment for your children.
