Marina Purina, Ph.D.

She is a university lecturer with over a decade of experience teaching economics, accounting, and related subjects in the Czech Republic and abroad. Alongside her academic work, she runs Purrfect Studies, an EdTech platform that helps students and teachers create a calm, supportive learning environment. Over the years she has supervised dozens of theses, guided thousands of students in both group and one-to-one settings, and written several textbooks. Yet her proudest achievement is showing students a different perspective on learning — helping them overcome fear and stress, start to understand the subject and even enjoy it. In her classes she likes to use humour, funny videos, and interactive games to make complex topics approachable and memorable. She speaks English, Czech, and Russian fluently and enjoys combining the best international approaches in a friendly, practical style of teaching.
