I teach on the IWLP Russian programme.

Background

I am from Uzbekistan, in Central Asia. I have a PhD in Russian language. 

I taught at Tashkent University during the1990s.   In 1999, I moved to the UK to take a Master’s Degree in Political Science at Reading University.  I continued to teach at Reading for a couple of years, and then in London.  My non-university students included diplomats, bankers and people just interested in learning Russian for pleasure.  I began teaching Russian again at Reading University from 2011. In total, I have now been teaching Russian, for more than 25 years.
