Daria Minhall, a certified Montessori teacher, graduated from Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture and Arts (Russia) and has been teaching Russian and RSL for years. Dasha is a mother raising two bilingual kids. She started working at the Do-Re-Mi as a Russian and RSL teacher in the spring of 2020. Every summer, Daria conducts Russian Immersion Day Camp. She’s adventurous enough to include the cooking of national dishes in her camp program!
Afternoon session during the week of 8/24-28 will be Theater exploration offered by Ms. Lara.
This is more than just acting classes - we immerse children in the magical world behind the scenes. Students will try themselves in different creative roles: playwrights, puppeteers, actors, and even designers.
All of these engaging activities take place in Russian, turning each 3-hour class into a truly immersive experience rather than a traditional “lesson.” Through storytelling, role-play, and performance, children naturally expand their vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and gain confidence expressing their ideas clearly and creatively.
Lara Bakumenko graduated from Kharkiv State University with an M.A. in Foreign Languages. In Ukraine, she earned qualifications as a Certified Interpreter and Translator in German, French, Russian, Ukrainian, and English, as well as a Certified Teacher of these languages at the K-12 level.
Lara worked in the Do-Re-Mi in the past, and restarted in 2021 online, then in person.
