Elkins biography

This is what was so lacking: communication with interesting people, and self-development, and the opportunity to better understand their parents, who lived at another time, deep gratitude to the House of Culture and personally to Lev Yakovlevich for the possibility of being part of the intellectual society of Russia and St. Petersburg! Gratitude to Mary’s assistants for a clear job.

I am completely delighted with a combination of a capacious witty story with a format. Such events are remembered for a long time: a conceptual, deep, bright story from an expert. Ideas live for a long time. Thank you very much, this is exactly what I am waiting for from the events of the recreation center - an extraordinary approach, reading the usual route that thousands of boards "go" in a new way.

I am completely delighted! But it was warm in communicating with the guide, Maria did not allow me to get bored and debunk Vyborg's myth -making. And the Aalta library, of course, inspired her designer inventions, you understand that this architect was thinking 50 years old. I would never have thought that this city can be viewed from the point of view of national identity, not to mention the complete international among creators and residents.

On her route, Maria Elkin not only showed us examples of Finnish development of the 20th century, but also paid attention to the modern problems of urbanism, which are rooted there, in the Finnish and Soviet period of Vyborg. Special thanks for the organization: everything is perfect, the lunch was very helpful. In Vyborg, now all the time of the crowd to the people, especially on weekends, we would hardly have been able to eat somewhere on our own.

The Aalto library is beautiful in itself, but the context of which Maria spoke about, made the history of its building more voluminous and brighter. The course will allow you to drink your favorite city as an expert on wine that can distinguish between the thinnest shades of taste. Education will definitely become an event among unbearably boring everyday life.

Beautiful speakers! A friendly atmosphere, heterogeneous, but united by love of history and the city group. Pleasant and possibly useful in the future dating. Special gratitude for the opportunity to visit excursions, learn a lot, evaluate the work of different speakers, gain experience! Good luck and prosperity! This course is designed for listeners who are ready to penetrate the history of St.

Petersburg and make new discoveries, which sometimes lie on the surface, but in everyday bustle we simply do not notice them. Speakers inspire the creation of their copyright tours, inspire confidence and learn to share their knowledge and discoveries, falling in love with listeners to beautiful Petersburg I want to note a sincere attitude towards students, a good organization of the educational process, professionalism of teachers, a wonderful graduation excursion and the opportunity to attend the preferential conditions of the event.

The school highlights the profession with a slightly different, non -classical side, and enables everyone to try to open up in it, find their niche. Very valuable comments of curator Nadezhda Morozova. And also, which is important, the school suggests applying your knowledge and abilities for conducting an excursion to the Lurie recreation center. Yes, the bar is high, but this gives you the opportunity to create in a real unique, your, author’s excursion.

Got great pleasure! Thank you all the speakers! Separate Lev Yakovlevich and Julia! I look forward to the next course. Her story about the construction of St. Petersburg transferred us to the Catherine’s era and helped to live alive with the city life of those times. As always informative, voluminous, professionally. The special charm of the excursion was given by the fact that we observed all this from the water.

A special angle, special beauty. Special thanks for the library, which is beautiful. After such excursions, I would like to return for walks and more detailed consideration. We highly recommend everyone! But, it seems to me, a more rare and valuable gift is the ability to share competently, from the heart, without superiority and pathos. Maria Elkina is that rare case.

On excursions in Vyborg I received information, mood and motivation for development! I hasten to press the keys and get the next walk to everyone recommend Alexander on August 12, interesting, interestingly, with the inherent speakers of the DK humor and in some places sarcasm, which only adds impressions from what he heard. The inspiration received at the Lecture of Nadezhda Morozova prompted to come up with his first program and start talking about the city!

All speakers are very grateful! Lev Yakovlevich is low bow and new projects! If there is a continuation of the course "School of Guides 2. Interesting and visual immersion in history. After the tour, she signed her telegram channel. An exciting, non -trivial, consistent communication with teachers and classmates invariably not only brought new knowledge, but simply very pleasant.

Saturday hours of study have become an adornment of my winter and spring. The volume of information received is huge and very multifaceted, requires further understanding and study. The bar is set high and this motivates well in work.I really like that there is no such component as a mandatory verification of how much you have learned the knowledge gained. There are so many all sorts of checks in life that sometimes I want to get knowledge without passing any exams later.

All lecturers - outstanding people - gave actual material, seasoning it with their attitude, appropriate, restrained emotion. The meeting was like pleasant intelligent conversations. It is this style of conducting excursions that future guides are offered into service. Critical comments were valuable during seminars. I liked the venue for lectures, as well as the possibility of free excursions.

Very good support of the course: announcements-recalling, lecture records, the availability of the organizer. After graduating from the school of guides, I had the opportunity to work for the DK Lurie, independently take a walk and cooperate with other travel agencies.

I received city accreditation of the guide, but almost always the mention of the fact that I am a graduate of the guides of Lev Lurie, helps me a lot in work and gives a great advantage over other guides. So in this regard is disappointed at school that it does not pull anymore to attend excursions of the recreation center. And before that, she considered the recreation center - one of the best excursion companies in the city, and indeed there is something to compare with, traveled half the world.

Now I am preparing for my first tour, and if it were not for my inner self -confidence, most likely after the NN comments, I would not be able to continue to act in this direction. Such basic information about the area with which you could start any excursion. I was always interested in the architecture and history of the city, interesting places and non -trivial routes, but to love - one thing, and I learned to show it to a variety of people, Petersburgers and guests of the city, Russian and foreigners, on foot and from a large excursion bus precisely thanks to the meetings of the best teacher Leo Lurie.

In his unique manner, he discovered many secrets of skill, taught how to fall in love with any, even the most skeptical tourist into the city. I spent fruitfully in the company of such highly educated, smart and talented people! There can be no better pastime, also for people who are not going to work as a guide. Recently, one of the excursions that made me think and think!

The main thing was the opportunity to learn directly from Lev Yakovlevich - for me there are no equal figures for me today: secondly, I was “dragged” like a truly Petersburg child in museums. And it was always incredible, fantastically boring! At a conscious age, I realized that this should not always be so. And the information can be interesting, deep and with a necessarily with humor.

This is what they always remember at the school of guides. What is the difference between DK Lurie and its speakers from everyone else. Now I am happy to be part of the team, this without exaggeration changed my life and school of guides - the first and most important step on this path. In an amazing way, the team of the recreation center managed to create a program that is interesting not only to future guides in St.

Petersburg, but also to people interested in the history of the city and wanting to close gaps in knowledge. A warm atmosphere, capacious and clear presentation, records of all lectures and a community of the same lovers in the city! What is very important for me - a person without a specialized education - a thought sounded during the learning of a refrain - it is always interesting to listen to a person who is interested in myself!

Burning eyes are more important than the knowledge of accurate dates! Lev Yakovlevich and Maria Elkina gave a historical canvas, into which we will weave our copyright programs. Konstantin Sholmov prompted sources from which facts are gaining for the most interesting walks. And inspiration, to conduct his first tour, is more than enough after the lecture by Nadezhda Morozova!

Lev Yakovlevich good health and a low bow! With pleasure I will recommend the course! Lev Yakovlevich Lurie was always very interesting to me as a connoisseur of the history of St. Petersburg, a writer and a magnificent guide. I went a lot and with pleasure on excursions of the House of Culture. But when an advertisement for the school of guides appeared on the website of the recreation center, it seemed: this is not about me, the time of "schools" probably has already passed.

And then the home, seeing my indecision, simply gave me training at the school of guides of the House of Culture Lev Lurie as a birthday gift! Great idea! I recommend everyone! Then I talked a lot with the graduates of our and other groups, and everyone said that when classes end, for a long time this weekly festival of knowledge and intelligent communication of like -minded people connected by love for St.

Petersburg and the desire to find out about him as much as possible. And who can tell about the city more interesting than Lev Yakovlevich, and even practically to you personally. The best speakers of the recreation center taught us how to make an author’s excursion interesting, non -casual, how to work with sources, to build relationships with listeners.
