Did you know that almost all of St. Petersburg was built by Italians?
If you visit the apartment building on Prospekt Mira 40, it reminds you of southern countries in its architecture. Two of its facades are decorated with open terraces, which is quite unusual for our latitudes. According to the artist, this decision was prompted by the unusually hot summer in the year of the beginning of the project.
And there are a lot of houses like that around the city. You can discuss it while walking with your friends and you are sure to give the impression of a well-rounded person.

John-Henry Till
Lecturer on the History of Art course
"Hello everyone!
My name is John-Henry Till, and I have been teaching English as a foreign language for 11 years.
I did my initial teacher training in Italy. I then received my post-graduate teaching certificate and diploma in International Education from the University of Nottingham, England. At the same time, I continued to gain experience in teaching in international schools and in teaching associations abroad.
I taught in Italy for 3 years, in Spain for 1 year, and in Russia for 7 years, as well as teaching in summer schools in Austria, Bulgaria, and the USA. I have a wealth of experience teaching both children and adults. I get great pleasure from helping others to learn and develop!
Currently, in addition to teaching, I am involved in theater group and local choir, where I manage to train my voice to make it even clearer and easier to hear.
I hope you enjoy discovering new things in an English language art history course with me! Take care and all the best."
