I am a Doctor of Philology from Sorbonne University and hold a PhD in Classics from KU Leuven. Originally from Russia, I am a native speaker of Russian and have lived in Paris for nearly 15 years, where French became my second native and professional language. Now based in Glasgow, UK, I am conducting research in philology and palaeography at the University of Glasgow. My academic interests focus on Byzantine Greek philology, palaeography, the New Testament manuscript tradition, and the history of Byzantium. Passionate about languages and teaching, I offer private lessons in Ancient Greek, Russian, French, and Church Slavonic at all levels, conducted in English, French, or Russian.
