Experience

Tutored English writing and Russian language at the University level as a Teacher's Assistant. Taught Russian language in individual instruction and classroom. I have taken courses on Shakespeare, English poetry, Russian poetry, English and American 19th and 20th Century literature, and most major Russian authors, including Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Turgenev. I love teaching, especially literature. I love the energy that comes from a good discussion and unlocking someone's ability to understand a difficult piece of literature.

Hobbies

I love reading and writing. In writing I like keeping a journal of my thoughts, and to try my hand at poetry and other things. I also love music, especially playing the piano and singing with my wife, who is a music teacher. We also enjoy just being with family, Netflix, and going to Church together.
