Aleksandra Shibaeva is a teacher of Russian and Chinese who graduated from the Moscow Pedagogical University with a degree in Russian and Chinese, and she is currently finishing her master's degree in intercultural management in Ljubljana. As a native Russian speaker, she has been living in Slovenia for several years now, where she joyfully shares her love of languages and cultures with students of all ages.

She believes that learning languages is a bridge to understanding the world, as each new language opens doors to different ways of thinking and enriches life.
