About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making a difference in how people study

ABOUT ME

I tend to believe I'm an easy-going and a laid-back guy, despite of that my face looks very serious in the mirror when I'm looking at it. Possibly I'm double or triple-faced- should I be concerned. I like fun and totally sure a man can have a good time without spending money. All the joyful and the happiest things are free. We are lucky.
I'm kind and open-hearted. And off course I adore messing, but all my jokes are not offending)
I like serious philosophical talks as well.

PHILOSOPHY

I deduced that simplicity, being not selfish and altruistic to the all live creatures and nature are the main things to build a better world.

Interests

Last few years I've been teching a lot. Very interested in new educational technologies and methods.
I compose and record my songs and instrumentals. To create is really important for me. Football!!!basketball, tennis, table tennis,badminton, freesbie, jumping like an idiot - I do. Board games? Fork yeaaaah!!

Nature steals my heart and floats my mind. I admire flat lands , but they wouldn't look flat without breathtaking mountains :) I adore wind and sunshine. It makes me feel full and life-enjoying.

I adore nature and fresh air. Also I fancy beautiful and unusual buildilngs and yards of my city.

I am a memory coach\teacher of studying methods - I help people to memorize tons of foreign language words, numbers, texts and learn a student book for just 1 day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was caught in a hurricane. Another time I was easily bumped by a car, no injures happily, moreover the feeling of the free flying for a few metres was amazing!
Surfing in Morocco. Being electrocuted in Lichtenstein was damn funny - may be I shouldn't have touched that fence :)
