Our Tutor: Alina Sharabariana
My name is Alina Sharabarina. I moved to New Zealand in 2020 from the beautiful city of Vladivostok, right in the midst of the online learning boom. I hold a master’s degree in teaching and have spent the past 7 years sharing the richness, humor, and unique charm of the Russian language with students from all over the world. My classes are fun, interactive, and focused on practical language skills. I truly enjoy connecting with new students and often find that I learn just as much from them.
I am so excited to bring Russian to the Parnell Community Centre!
