05 / THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m
Alessandra.
I’m a California-born English teacher, linguist and professional artist based in Tbilisi.
I’ve taught English for more than ten years, including professionals from EU institutions and international companies in Luxembourg and Brussels. I’m bilingual in English and Russian, and my background spans language, art and cultural education.
I created Hi. to bring those worlds together: thoughtful teaching, interesting ideas and spaces where people actually want to talk.
