I love to learn water colour painting with Arina. Even for a short period of time, she has taught me basic painting techniques that I can use on my own. She taught me the proper way of how the water colours must be applied to the paper. As a beginner, I find it easy to do it on my own now that I am back in Indonesia.

Arina is my enlightenment tutor on Russian language. She made beautiful slides and taught me the abcs of Russian alphabet, pronunciation and vocabulary. We had the class via Zoom video meeting.
What's really impressive is that she observes my mouth shapes and uses very funny and creative ways to show me how to position the tongue to get the right sound. And she knows exactly why I cannot pronounce certain sounds, and gives practical methods and practices with me on stretching my tongue and my oral muscles for pronouncing the exciting new syllables :-) She is as patient and dedicated as a mama tutoring her murmuring child.
Besides being a bilingual language teacher, Arina is also an artist and practices a creative and authentic lifestyle. She has unique and insightful expressions about life, and would put this creative and artistic part of her into teaching. This means she treats each and every one of her students as a unique individual, and tailors her teaching for the student's specialised needs.
Arina is also a high level gymnast, she is strictly self-disciplined and resilient both physically and emotionally. She keeps wild curiosity for life and has insightful observations for the people around her, this gifted characteristic of her enables impressive and innovative interactions in her class.

She’s great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun and engaging through a variety of activities that improve conversation, writing, and reading skills.Best english teacher I had so far!!
Arina was our tutor at Trinity Hall College, and we were a diverse group of students with varying levels of English proficiency. Her teaching style was engaging and easy to understand for everyone, and the exercises she gave us were particularly enjoyable, especially when working in pairs. I hope she will be tutoring us in the future as well.
