A few years ago, I began to learn Russian and Irina has been my teacher. Irina is proficient at steering us through the intricacies of Russian grammar but she also makes the classes fun and interesting. We spend time in each class chatting informally (in Russian). Irina likes to share her enthusiasm for Russian culture with her pupils by organising the Russia Club. These are social occasions where we are introduced to Russian writers, poets and musicians and sometimes taste Russian food. Now that Covid is on the wane I look forward to more meetings of the club. Thanks Irina
