I did the internship for the National Park Service and worked in one of the national parks in the USA, where I had a chance to embrace ecological values; I fluently speak three languages (Russian, English, and Spanish). I love traveling and have visited over 35 countries and been to 4 continents. I try to share my travel experience in class to bring the textbook case studies to life. Tutor Introduction

Tutor Teaching Style
The task of a geography teacher is to show how beautiful, amazing and diverse our planet is.
To get to know the student, their favorite topics, difficulties, and improvement areas.
Create an Open Environment Encourage Brainstorming Classroom discussions to encourage the students to make up their own minds Assign Research Projects.
I try to consider students’ interests, connect them to the topics, discuss some global challenges and problems which are widely known and concern every person on the planet. (e.g., Global Warming and sea-level rise – Challenge for people living in coastal areas and low lying islands).
Teach Through Direct Instruction Teach Just One New Concept at a Time Make Review a Priority Power of Encouraging Words
Students may read aloud. Sometimes provide adapted texts to correspond to the level of the student. Retell what they read Reread if the students misunderstood Using ‘check your understanding’ questions
Learning about student’s personal interests Integration of technologies and applications in the classroom Graphic organizers (padlet, miro, flinga, PP Presentations)
I have a set of questions for each topic which I discuss with the students and check their understanding.
I find out the difficulties and areas of improvement.
Textbooks, presentations, articles, exam questions.
