Our teachers
Natalia Hagelin
Director, teacher, organizer of camps and events. "My love for the Russian language and literature was instilled in me by my wonderful teacher in my early childhood. It is great to study and teach, so the idea of establishing our wonderful school in Guildford was born. I received an education in Latvia in two specialties, continued to study in England and am especially proud of my specialization in teaching bilingual children in Surrey schools."

Olesya Kasparis
Teacher of junior and senior grades. In 1998, she graduated from the philological faculty of the Ryazan State Pedagogical University named after S. Yesenin. In parallel with her studies, from the 3rd year, she worked as an English teacher in grades 4-5 of a comprehensive school in the city of Ryazan. Excellent knowledge of Russian, English and German allowed me to work as a tutor after graduating from university, and later as a translator. I love working with children, teaching them not only to speak, read and write in Russian, but also to enrich their general outlook on Russian culture. In my Russian language lessons, I periodically include elements of geography, history, art, which is very important for children studying Russian in another country.

Leysan Shilina
Teacher of primary and preparatory schools, logorhythmics and music. I am a teacher - a specialist in the development of preschool and primary school age. In my classes, I really like to combine logorhythmics, sensory activities and creative activities. I have good experience in teaching speech development for bilingual children. I am interested in speech therapy, and I often include elements of speech therapy exercises in my classes. For me, the most pleasant thing in my work with children is to see their faces shining with joy, sincerity in their every action, and inexhaustible creative energy!

Olga Volkova
Teacher of junior and senior grades. "Many years of experience as a primary school teacher have convinced me that the comprehensive development of a person occurs in parallel with the formation of beautiful and correct speech. When planning lessons, I take into account the psychological and physiological characteristics of a junior schoolchild. I like to combine games, activities, speaking and writing practice, riddles, and creative tasks in class. I believe it is important to awaken in a child the desire to express their thoughts without fear of making mistakes, thus developing critical and productive thinking, enriching their active vocabulary."

Irina Gurevich
Preparatory school teacher. "You can't fool children. You don't just have to accept them as they are, but you have to love being with them" - this phrase dropped by someone has accompanied me for 27 years in the company of preschoolers in Israel, being a correctional teacher as the director of a special kindergarten. As a family consultant, I have always noted for myself that a child is a business card of his family.
