Тротз, Тайсон Джаред, Sewanee, the University of the South

Здравствуйте! My name is Tyson Trotz and I am proud to be an English teacher at the American Home. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, but both my parents come from Manitoba, Canada. As a child, my two greatest passions were history and nature and not much has changed since then. My interest in Russian was first sparked by my family’s Slavic heritage, leading me to the beautiful rural campus of Sewanee, the University of the South where I double majored in History and Russian. In the summer of 2011 I did a summer study abroad in St. Petersburg and have returned several times since then. I moved to Vladimir and began teaching English at the American Home in August of 2015 and am now returning for my third year. I enjoy spending time with my friends, going to the dacha, reading, and physical activity.
