Russian & German Instructor 
 

Teaching has always been Nina’s passion. Nina completed her graduate studies in German, Russian, and English as a Second Language at Orenburg Pedagogical University in Russia and went on to obtain teaching certification in all three languages. She believes that communication is vital to bringing people together and being able to fully express oneself, and that good communication skills can help us in our personal, social, and professional lives. Therefore, Nina always uses the communicative approach when teaching and designs interactive lessons that put emphasis on speaking and comprehension skills from the start. She has taught children, college students, and adults for 25 years.
