Revision as of 02:17, 8 May 2024

My name is Travis Lee Bailey, I am an English teacher that has lived in Moscow, Russia for 8 years.

Innovative teaching approach - student centered

English Russian

I teach teenagers and adults, General English, Legal English, Business English, Sociology and International Politics.

As an American, I have been teaching children off and on since 2000 in the United States Peace Corps Ukraine, Odessa. A volunteer government organization which works around the world. Since 2000 I have been teaching English to children and adults utilizing the most cutting edge teaching methods.

I love the Russian people and I will live here in Moscow for the rest of my life. Five of us published a book on the differences between Russians and Americans, entitled “Why Don't Russians Smile?: The definitive guide to the differences between Russians and Americans” in 2021. Teaching allows me to understand the elusive Russian Soul and to share my culture and ideas. As a sociologist, I bring America to my lessons. My experiences living in 6 American states, my years working at a variety of careers, and everything I have learned from my four diplomas. I believe in a student centered approach to learning. With a marketing bachelors, I specially tailor each one of my lessons to what the client is passionate about or must learn for their career. Learning English should be fun.

When students use my English practically in daily life, that is the most rewarding feeling that I can receive in my life. Achieving concrete results is my passion and goal with every one of my dear students. I look forward to meeting you and teaching you soon.
