I hold a teacher's certificate for the Russian language after graduating in 1985 from Odessa State University, I.I. Mechnikova, in the Ukraine. My Russian training spanned a period of five years whilsh I was taking up My M.Sc. in biology. After that, I have been doing part time teaching in Russian, participating in English-Russian workshops/seminars, and I have maintained a very close working relationship with Russian colleagues in and out of Russia. |
