Hey everyone! I'm Marisa! I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2018 with degrees in European studies, Spanish and Russian. I finally fulfilled my dream of moving to Russia when I won a Fulbright grant. I spent the 2019-20 school year teaching English and American culture at Kazan Federal University and returned this year to teach all ages, all over Moscow!
As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. Because of this, I do everything I can to create lessons and materials where language learning is personal and interesting, and therefore enjoyable. While I value grammar, I really love teaching idioms, slang and colloquial speech the best! It's so fun helping others elevate their language and self-expression.
