Maxim Mirgiyasov Executive Director, English teacher Teaching for me is not just about learning words, explaining grammar, and reading a text. I believe that you need to get acquainted with all aspects, starting with the «living language», correct pronunciation and the ability to understand «untranslatable phrases».![Alexandra Konovalova]( "Alexandra Konovalova")

Stella Hartung Teacher of English and German, Postgraduate student of ISU My life has always been connected with foreign languages. That’s why I went to study linguistics, and then I did a lot of research. However, having accidentally got a teacher in a kindergarten, I was so impressed with the teaching that I decided to continue this activity. Thus, I have been in the field of teaching for more than 5 years!
