About Arina
Hello, my name is Arina and I was a student for a long time. I know what it’s like to crave academic success and what it takes to excel in academic subjects. My academic journey wasn’t a smooth one. After school I studied management at university but wasn’t interested in that subject at that time. I pivoted and I switched to architecture. However, that wasn’t what I expected, and I switched to Fine Arts. There I thrived and found myself in a community of like-minded people. I studied non-stop and my curiosity helped me explore the academic world, and get good results not only in Fine Arts, but also in English and international relations. I realised that the environment with like-minded people is like a land of milk and honey: it propels you to grow and expand. This is what I offer to my students now: a connection with someone who is truly invested in academic achievement.

Perfect! My son had his first Creative Writing lesson with Arina yesterday - she was patient, encouraging, and wonderfully motivating throughout the session. Arina managed to sustain his focus and engagement for the entire lesson—no small feat! He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and looks forward to his next lesson. A fantastic start!
- Working with Mariana's son is a real pleasure. He eagerly uses his imagination to create stories. He listens attentively which helps him absorb new information quickly. He likes taking his characters on a journey. I look forward to our next lesson.Arina's response :

I love to learn water colour painting with Arina. Even for a short period of time, she has taught me basic painting techniques that I can use on my own. She taught me the proper way of how the water colours must be applied to the paper. As a beginner, I find it easy to do it on my own now that I am back in Indonesia.

Arina is my enlightenment tutor on Russian language. She made beautiful slides and taught me the abcs of Russian alphabet, pronunciation and vocabulary. We had the class via Zoom video meeting.
What's really impressive is that she observes my mouth shapes and uses very funny and creative ways to show me how to position the tongue to get the right sound. And she knows exactly why I cannot pronounce certain sounds, and gives practical methods and practices with me on stretching my tongue and my oral muscles for pronouncing the exciting new syllables :-) She is as patient and dedicated as a mama tutoring her murmuring child.
Besides being a bilingual language teacher, Arina is also an artist and practices a creative and authentic lifestyle. She has unique and insightful expressions about life, and would put this creative and artistic part of her into teaching. This means she treats each and every one of her students as a unique individual, and tailors her teaching for the student's specialised needs.
Arina is also a high level gymnast, she is strictly self-disciplined and resilient both physically and emotionally. She keeps wild curiosity for life and has insightful observations for the people around her, this gifted characteristic of her enables impressive and innovative interactions in her class.

She's really patient and explains things in a way that's easy to understand, which makes it easier for her students to learn. Overall, I think Arina is a great tutor and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with English.
Excellent tutor, I had her for a few weeks and I enjoyed her classes. Arina encourages you to participate in the class.
Looking forward to having her as a teacher again.Arina makes good use of speaking practice with a demonstration, she teaches at a fast pace, so we managed to do a lot. She is also very attentive and sociable, I enjoyed communicating with Arina.

Arina’s manner of teaching is so wonderful and refreshing!! She’s patient and supportive, but really knows how to motivate her students. She’s great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun and engaging through a variety of activities that improve conversation, writing, and reading skills.Best english teacher I had so far!!
Arina was our tutor at Trinity Hall College, and we were a diverse group of students with varying levels of English proficiency. Her teaching style was engaging and easy to understand for everyone, and the exercises she gave us were particularly enjoyable, especially when working in pairs. I hope she will be tutoring us in the future as well.
