About Lina
Hi there, I have graduate degrees in Russian, Bulgarian, and English/ESL. Additionally, I hold a Certificate for Teaching Languages with Technology! For the past 15 years, I have taught at some of the most prestigious educational institutions in the US – Princeton University, Rider University, Rutgers University, The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, Middlebury College, and Swarthmore College. During my time as a graduate student at Princeton, I attended the Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Teaching and Learning, which greatly contributed to my professional development. I am proud that colleagues’ and students’ evaluation of my work in the past have resulted in several awards for distinguished teaching and innovation. I have experience working with students of all levels and ages, privately or in groups! Many of my students have achieved outstanding academic results and have received scholarships and various other academic awards! I love teaching and look forward to working with YOU! :) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

My teaching method is always tailored to the specific needs of the student, and the basic principles that guide me in my work are: passion, organization, accessibility, and flexibility. In every tutoring session I try to foster a positive experience and individual involvement. I attempt to motivate my students by: (1) making adjustments in the material and pace of learning to best suit the particular group of students (2) making the material relevant to their lives, (3) dividing each class period into several, short-duration activities, which require active participation by all, (4) having and encouraging a sense of humor, (5) using a variety of printed and audio/visual materials as authentic examples of the language. I offer lessons in English (grammar, reading, listening, speaking, writing), ESL, Business English, Russian (grammar, reading, listening, speaking, writing), and Bulgarian (grammar, reading, listening, speaking, writing).

I have watched Lina teach quite a lot, at least 15 times, over the years and highly recommend her as an ESL instructor. I helped her get her lectures recorded and between witnessing her interactions with students first hand and also interviewing her students, I've concluded that she has exceptional teaching skills, patience, and dedication to student success. And her students have said the same. She has years of experience in teaching English as a second language, and is the consummate professional in every teaching environment I've seen her work in and to every student she has taught. She understands every person is different and will tailor lessons to meet the needs of each student, whether they're beginners or advanced learners. Lina creates an engaging and supportive classroom environment that encourages active participation, helping students build confidence in both speaking and writing. She is also very approachable and her passion for teaching makes her an outstanding choice for anyone looking to improve their English language skills.
Lina is professional, friendly, very patient, and very knowledgeable. I can't recommend her enough!!
Lina is well organized while also personally warm. One thing I especially appreciate is how she keeps up with articles and websites about Russian language and culture - she always has something interesting to recommend!
Lina is an outstanding member of our teaching staff. She has worked for us for 6 months. Her students enjoy the atmosphere that she creates in class. The students find her to be a very likeable teacher.
As Chairperson, I hired Lina a number of years ago to teach Russian in our language department at Rider University. Her teaching over the next 5-6 years was exemplary. Her pedagogy was current and students loved her. I’ve followed her career since, and the fact that Swarthmore College has rehired her numerous times speaks for itself. Talented, knowledgeable, accessible to students, collegial.
