Okay, so the name of my favorite teacher is Maria Exandral. She was my Russian language and literature teacher at Kremlin school in my hometown. I first met her when I was at sixth grade. She was the new teacher in our school. So, yeah, as I have already mentioned, she taught me literature and Russian language. And it was a pretty unique experience because she didn’t use classical teaching approaches. As you may know, teachers usually are very strict and they really like to use restrictions in their work while teaching students. And she was not like that. She allowed us, me and my classmates to express our opinions and oppositions, for example. She had such an opinion that there cannot be a wrong answer to any questions. She was pretty similar to a teacher from the movie The Poets Society. So, yeah, and she was my favorite teacher because she was really open minded. She allowed me to express myself, to show my personality, in my compositions, in my answers. She allowed me to interpret the books as I would like to do without saying what I was supposed to say. Yeah, so she was my teacher throughout only two years, but I liked her very much. I did some projects with her and I even won a conference, like a study conference at my school. And she was my, I don’t know how to say, name, but she was the teacher who helped me with the project.

She allowed my classmates and me to express our opinions and oppositions, for example. She believed that there cannot be a wrong answer to any question. She was quite similar to a teacher from the movie Dead Poets Society. She was my favorite teacher because she was really open-minded. She allowed me to express myself and show my personality in my compositions and answers. She let me interpret the books as I wanted to, without dictating what I was supposed to say. She was my teacher for only two years, but I liked her very much. I did some projects with her, and I even won a study conference at my school. She was the teacher who helped me with the project.
