About me: I grew up in the office of the director of the lyceum, my mother was the founder of one of the first lyceums in Russia in the late 80s of the twentieth century. She is an honored teacher and methodologist of the Russian Federation. Before the birth of my own children, I did not particularly plan to engage myself in pedagogy, plunging into Burmese studies, but, apparently, it is in my blood … The first teaching experience was while I was doing my PhD at MGIMO, then there was the tutoring experience at the University of London. It turned out that I enjoyed teaching. When my own children started a well-known primary school in London, I began to delve into the essence of British primary education. After relocating to Moscow, I decided to create my own school. Recently, quite by accident, in a conversation with a numerologist, I found out that my number is 11 and means “teacher, mentor”.
