Experienced educators and advisors who will help your children succeed.

We would like to introduce our educators to you.

Mgr. Alena Valentinovna Pinskaja PhD.

( The founder of the school )

She graduated in theatre criticism and history of theatre from the Russian Theatre Academy in Moscow, earning a Ph.D. in sociology. Due to her love for children and education, and the belief that education can be provided more effectively and with higher quality than in state schools, she founded a fully accredited school in Moscow in 1992. Since 1999, this school has been operating in Prague, while maintaining partnerships with schools in Moscow.

She continues her education and actively participates in numerous conferences to ensure that the educational center “Věda” has the best possible international connections and stays updated on new trends in learning. She is actively involved in the daily life of the school. She serves as an ambassador for the European Association of Bilingual Schools Via Light on behalf of our school.

ing. Eduard Karapetyan

karapetyan@zsveda.cz

( MA, FY, IT )

Absolvent Jerevanské státní univerzity, Fyzikální fakulty, v oboru fyzika, pedagogika se specializací jaderná fyzika, získal titul Ing. v oboru marketingová komunikace na vysoké škole v Praze.

Pracoval na jazykové škole v Praze jako učitel matematiky a fyziky pro přípravu na vysokou školu.

Při výuce používám interaktivní formu a neustálé opakování látky, abych dosáhl co největšího účinku a lepšího rozvoje paměti. Jsem přesvědčen, že takové předměty, jako je matematika, pomohou žákům rozvíjet rychlé reakce, dobrou paměť, systematické myšlení a rychle se přizpůsobit modernímu světu. A fyzika pomůže žákům najít správné logické souvislosti mezi vědou a reálným životem.
