Здравствуйте! 

My name is Zarina and I am 21 years old. For the last few years, I have been immersed in academic life, since I was getting a bachelor's degree in Russian philology at Irkutsk State University. When I first applied, I didn't know whether I was choosing the right path, but I soon realized that learning my native language was exactly what I wanted to do. It was not just about memorizing spelling or grammar rules and turned my expectations upside down.

Several years of my life were associated with volunteering, especially working with children and teens. When I've grown and gained more knowledge, I've started working as a tutor. However, my primary focus has always stayed on my studies.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts and cooking sweets for my loved ones. I am also engaged in translating stories, as well as editing amateur works by aspiring authors. 

Every year my family and I visit Lake Baikal and the Sayan Mountains, and it always fills me with a sense of openness and freedom.

While I ay appear reserved, I'm actually a friendly and caring person, and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. See you soon! A lot awaits us.
