I am Irina Naidenova, but you can call me Eira. I am GOODMOVA nieЎzabavie.
</aside>
<aside>
I work in English, Greek, and Belarusian. I hold:
But none of that is why students stay for years.
I built GOODMOVA because I lived what you are living — the experience of being a full person in one language and finding just an “ersatz” version of yourself in another.
I have completed the quest of becoming YOU again — in a new country, a new language, a new life — and I am here to help.
The Ў in nieЎzabavie is from Belarus. So are my roots.
The toucan in the logo is from Brazil. So is part of who I am.
Part of my heart will always live in Cyprus.
Part of my mind will always live in the UK.
And, with all my heart and mind, I stand with Ukraine.

Reading Club:
Being part of this reading club has been an amazing experience. Every week, we read a short story and come together to discuss it. Irina always brings interesting details about the author’s life and the historical and cultural background of the story. Since we have members from different countries and cultures, the discussions are always enriching. It’s fascinating to see how the same story can be interpreted in so many different ways. This club is not just about reading, but it's also about understanding perspectives and learning from each other.

English:
Irina has been working with me for over a year, both as an English teacher and as a coach and career support figure. I have been working in IT for over 23 years, and I can say that Irina has strong expertise in this field. Irina is able to alternate lessons focused on IT topics with lessons focused on self-improvement, soft skills, general culture, and current affairs. She is helping me develop many skills and interests in various areas. She is a reference figure for my personal and professional growth.
