Our teachers

Olga accompanies children through their first school years: she helps them settle in, feel more confident and find their first friends in class. Children gradually join the learning process and become more independent — and parents can see how this period goes and be at ease about their child.

More than 15 years of teaching, from early preschool to primary school. Olga has worked at Kinderville since 2015 and has become a favourite teacher for many children and parents. Her experience includes helping children adapt to school, personal support, building friendly and warm relationships in a class, and developing reading, writing, counting and speaking skills.

Higher education in Social Pedagogy, degree with honours.

Professional development courses in teaching reading and writing and in primary pedagogy.

In Y4–Y6 children take more and more responsibility for themselves. Elizaveta helps them grow in this independence: hold themselves more confidently in class, build relationships with peers, join school projects and events. And helps parents see how the child's school life is going and be at ease about them.

7 years of teaching, 4 of them as a tutor and senior tutor at a school. Her experience includes organising class hours, development sessions, school events, trips and projects. Elizaveta also has experience in child psychology, observation and assessment of children in grades 1–4, and work as an activities organiser.

Two degrees: educational psychologist and journalist.

Professional development in career guidance. Speaks English.

Maria's task is to organise the teaching process so that the school achieves strong results both in teaching children on the Russian and English programmes and in developing children's cooperation and independence.

Her efforts aim to give children a positive experience of school: of overcoming difficulties, of achievement and of friendship.

13 years of teaching, 2 years of management in education, experience in HR consulting.

Higher education in Philology.

Art school course, professional development in primary education and child development, TESOL certificate, courses in recruitment and staff management. English at C1 level.

Margarita teaches Russian and literature in Y4–Y5, and in Y2 — Russian, literature and pre-writing skills. She helps children love reading and express their thoughts confidently — orally and in writing.

Margarita also leads the dance elective for primary pupils, helping children develop coordination, a sense of rhythm, confidence in movement and the ability to express themselves through dance.

Margarita is a speech therapist: she works professionally with children's speech.

Gayane helps children develop literate speech and writing, an interest in reading and careful attention to text. In her work she combines subject expertise in philology, methodological experience and the ability to build a clear, consistent learning process.

More than 13 years of teaching. Gayane has worked as a teacher of Russian language and literature, a German teacher, a methodologist and a deputy head for studies at state and private schools in Kaliningrad. Her experience covers teaching, methodology, organising the learning process and supporting teaching projects.

Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Philology, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University.

Professional development in current approaches to teaching Russian language and literature, ICT support for teachers, mind mapping and cinema therapy.

Olga is a true mathematician: she adores her subject, and the love passes to the children. She helps them build a solid mathematical foundation and develop logical thinking, numeracy and confidence in solving problems. In her teaching she combines L. G. Peterson's system with an activity- and project-based approach.

More than 10 years of teaching. For the last 3 years Olga has worked in Phuket at a Russian-language school and in an international educational setting, giving individual and group maths lessons to primary and secondary pupils on Russian FGOS programmes. She also has experience teaching on the British programme.

Higher education in Applied Informatics in Economics, degree with honours. Further qualifications: IT teacher, TEFL/TESOL.

Olga runs extra hands-on STEM classes: robotics, engineering design and 3D modelling. This helps children see maths not only as a school subject but as a tool for solving real problems and building their own projects.

Albina teaches with a no-translation method — only in English, without translating into Russian. But she understands Russian herself, so if a child gets lost or cannot find the words, they will be understood and helped to finish. A child is not afraid of mistakes — this is how a language is learned naturally, through live speech.

More than 14 years of teaching English to children. Her first job was as a nanny in an American family. Albina has worked as an English teacher in private schools and kindergartens, including on the Singapore system, and as an English methodologist. Her experience covers educational organisations in Thailand, Vietnam, China and the USA. She successfully prepares both children and adults for English exams.

At her parents' insistence Albina completed a law degree but never worked a day in that field. Her interest always lay in learning and teaching languages, so she took courses and gained a TESOL certificate (Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages), became an English teacher and later also a teacher of Chinese.

Samragni (Sam) is a native English speaker. Her lessons are in English only: no Russian is spoken, and the child is in an English-speaking environment for the whole lesson. Sam's special experience is children with no English at all: she takes them from zero to the level at which a child calmly studies in a mainstream class on international programmes.

6 years of international teaching practice, including a school with a Singapore approach. Her experience covers pupils aged 6–10, including complete beginners in English; preparing children to join English-medium subject classes; teaching on IPC and British programmes. She has experience adapting teaching for children with ADHD and dyslexia.

CELTA (International House Bangkok) — an international English teaching qualification. Master of Arts in International Relations, Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Currently completing the TEACH NOW programme at Moreland University towards a US teaching licence.

Besides English, Sam speaks Hindi, Bengali and Thai. Knowing several languages helps her see a lesson through the eyes of a child for whom English is still foreign.

Alexander teaches children to swim from scratch, helps them feel confident in the water and develop technique, discipline and a sporting character. He also prepares pupils for pool competitions.

Coaching since 2014. Alexander has worked with children and adults; he started at a youth sports school and a fitness club and later joined the private sports school I Love Swimming in Moscow.

He went from young athlete to member of the Russian national team, holds the title of Master of Sport and competed in national and international events.

Specialised Olympic reserve sports school (SDYuShOR), Moscow; Russian State Social University, Moscow.

Coach Nai runs football training, helping children develop technique, coordination, confidence on the pitch and teamwork. For older pupils he also organises friendly matches with other schools' teams, giving children the experience of real games and healthy competition.

Before Kinderville, Coach Nai coached children at Together Football Academy.
