My name is Alex and I’m from the state of Maryland, right next to Washington D.C.  This is my second year teaching at the American Home, and I am very happy to be back. 

I graduated from the University of Maryland last spring with a double major in Linguistics and Russian language.  I’ve been interested in foreign languages for a long time, and love trying to learn new ones so I can communicate with people from many countries.  In the Fall of 2017, I studied Russian language in Vladimir.  While I was there, I got to see many different cities and sights (like Suzdal, Murom, Volgograd, and others).

When I have free time, I like to do things outside, like walking, hiking, or any kind of exercise or sport.  I also enjoy reading up and studying different languages, by either watching videos or reading.
