初心者のための日本語パート4

Hi, I am Ms.  Natalia and I teach critical thinking, inventing, and creative tools.

Creative thinking is at the top of Boom's Taxonomy. Bloom's taxonomy was developed to provide a common language for teachers to discuss and exchange learning and assessment methods.

International Student Assessment PISA test has included a creativity test in its latest assessment (results will be ready in early 2024) because of the worldwide recognition that effective creative problem-solving is one of the most sought-after tool for the next generation. 

I am passionate about teaching effective critical thinking tools and creative techniques to children. I am certified TRIZ teacher


 I also teach Japanese as a foreign language and  Russian language for bilingual children, and Russian as a foreign language. 

I am a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language for children by Moscow State University (MGU). 

Japanese is my lifelong passion and I would love to share it with you. I have completed 3 years of Japanese studies in Moldova. Then continued a 1-year Advanced Japanese coursework at City College of San Francisco.  I currently hold Japanese Proficiency Tests N3 and N4. I continue learning on daily basis from my spouse, who is Japanese. We often travel to Japan to visit family and our last 2 months' trip was very enjoyable. 

I am a Russian native speaker and love teaching children. I come from a family of teachers/university professors and teaching is my lifelong passion. 

I am also a mother of three trilingual children (Russian, English, and Japanese), and have been enjoying homeschooling my children for the last 3 years. 

The practices and methods of teaching Russian to bilingual children are a relatively new field and are constantly evolving.  When raising bilingual/trilingual children, the biggest constraint that the parents are facing is the limited time available for learning Russian.  So I am focusing on using the latest methods like the functional approach and CLIL. I am also facing the same constraints when homeschooling my 3 trilingual children. That's why I constantly upgrade my qualifications by taking certified courses from Moscow State University (MGU) so that I can use the best teaching practices with children and make our lessons fun and engaging. One of the last courses I have taken is " Technologies for Teaching Online", which has prepared me better for teaching children online. 

When teaching languages, I believe the main goal is to be able to use the skills. That's why the lessons are structured in cycles of 4 or 6 with a presentation at the end, where students can showcase their newly acquired skills. 

I enjoy traveling with my family a lot. 

Hope to see your child in my class!

Happy learning!
