My name is Takhira. I was born in Azerbaijan but have lived my whole life in St. Petersburg, Russia. I graduated from Herzen State Pedagogical University in 2022 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been teaching English as a foreign language to different age groups and students from diverse backgrounds at various community-based and language schools. I enjoy learning new languages, crossing cultural boundaries, and acquiring different linguistic identities. Knowing multiple languages has helped me establish cultural bridges between individuals and foster my critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spend a lot of my free time outdoors and enjoy bike rides, long walks, and picnics in the woods. I particularly appreciate museum visits and theater performances. My recent interests have been in the areas of information technologies and data analysis. I enjoy gaining insights from exploring number relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal for the upcoming academic year at Bates is to support all students pursuing courses in Russian language and share my knowledge of Russian culture. I am also very excited to learn about American culture through meaningful interactions with students and the larger campus community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
