I've been teaching Russian as a Second Language since I graduated from Moscow State University with MA in Russian Philology.

When I came to US, I was very lucky to find my professional employment at Macalester College - small private school in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I taught there Russian for 5 years. Then in 1999 I moved to Boston with my family. Since that I started to work with children. Throughout of your child course your teacher, that is me - Galina Bunin -- will be of course a language expert and an actor, artist, magician, mime, singer, conductor, coach, friend, leader, facilitator, cultural resource. Come and see for yourself!
