I am always doing thatwhich I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it
Most teaching techniques have been based on rote learning of endless lists of verbs and nouns. As a result, students' interest and motivation have been slowly disappearing. The studying has become a tedious process, where students ended up forgetting everything they had previously learnt because of the unconscious rejection they had developed during this forced studying. Also, there are well known methods that promote learning based on a single textbook, in overcrowded classrooms, where the personal needs and particularities of the student are not being considered.
By the way, Altolevel is famous for its friendly environment where students can develop their skills and build linguistic capabilities to deal with the real situations of their everyday lives. We offer different approaches and didactics, designed for the personal needs of each individual.
We have group lessons, as well as individual and couples classes, both face-to-face and online. We have a flexible schedule, so students can always find a suitable study option.
At Altolevel, we see Spanish and English as a great tool for introducing Spanish and English culture, and for this reason we employ only highly qualified teachers who specialize in the language and its various aspects. In addition to love for their work, our teachers also have a huge professional and personal experience, which allows them to show the student different points of view on language learning.
We are open daily from 9.00 to 21.00, and are even ready to open on weekends if our students have such a need.

I was born in Urales, a gloomy and cold area of Russia. Since I wasn't a big fan of cold climates, right after graduating from high school I left Ekaterinburg for good and moved to Moscow where immediately started to study.
Anything, literally - philology, tourism, German, Spanish and English languages. Once I even was spotted in a web design class. The learning process was so fascinating that I didn't want to stop for quite a long time, till one day I realized it was time to share this rich baggage of accumulated knowledge.
Teaching real people right away was somehow scary, in spite of having previously obtained a university degree in Philology and Teaching. So to start with something, I began to arrange educational trips to Great Britain, Malta and Australia, at the same time getting involved in analysis of various methods and approaches to teaching English as a foreign language. At the language courses where I sent students, I studied myself.
I went through everything on my own experience: I compared different programs and training plans, mastered different techniques and approaches. In the meantime, I was working as a private tuitor: one-on-one or in small groups, a maximum of three people. I truly believe it is the most convenient and efficient way to study foreign language.
For many different reasons, in 2016 I moved from Moscow to Spain, Costa del Sol, where the process of endless studying again fell into place. The result was the same as before - an overabundance of acquired knowledge and a bursting desire to share the "know how" led to teaching again.
This time it was Spanish. Despite extended experience in many different fields, teaching languages has always been and still remains my favorite occupation.
I am happy to be on the same wavelength with my colleagues in Altolevel Language Centre, as well as transmit my knowledge to others.
