“ Once I clipped my nose to show my English teacher how perfectly I pronounced speaking American English.
She sat me down and gave me an “F.”

MY AMERICAN DREAM
“I remember my first Hollywood movie where Meryl Streep played Madeline Ashton in “Death Becomes Her.” It was in the 90s, and it was not easy to find a movie in English, but I got lucky. My father brought a VSH player and several tapes; It was so exciting to watch even though I did not understand!
Tom & Jerry was the second that I was so fond of, then Animaniacs, Darkwing Duck, etc.”
From that moment, I decided I had to speak English natively. Now, my professional life and commitment are working with a diverse group of students to help them acieave their goals in English pronunciation. I am still doing research in Linquistics and Language Education to contribute into Education as well as create new content to make it easier for Speakers of Other Lamguages learn pronunciation with fun.
My educational background is rich and comes from the Institute of Foreign Languages and International Cooperation, where I received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). To expand my teaching competency, I decided to enter the College of Education, where I received a Doctor of Philosophy In Education with a specialization in Theory and Technologies of Professional Education. All my degrees were successfully recognized in U.S. Equivalence by Bruscan Educational Information Services, Irving, Texas, listed in Texas Education Agency.
After graduation, I immediately started working as an assistant professor of English at the Institute of Foreign Languages and International Cooperation at the Tomsk Pedagogical University, at the Department of Linguistics and Lingo-Didactics, where I taught English Phonetics, English literature, English composition, Advanced Grammar, and Writing, etc.
For many years I have been successfully organizing and conducting eLearning (online) teaching as it was a part of my Ph.D. research to give students the best from eLearning opportunities. As a result, I created several successful in-use eLearning online courses for students from the USA, France, Italy, China, Japan, Nigeria, etc., to learn English pronunciation. I am also teaching at various commercial non-profit (USA, India, Russia, etc.) organizations and Universities. Many years of teaching experience helped me develop my methodology for teaching American Pronunciation. I created a unique program that has changed peoples’ lives across the world.
Teaching is not the only thing that captures my attention; I am also interested in collaborating with various international scientific publishers. Recently I published my scientific work where I was a lead editor working with scientists from many countries to contribute to Language Education. I edited the special issue of the International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Vol 4 2020, “Organization for Educational Communications and Technologies (OECT).”
