Education
Even as a child, Svetlana was curious as to why some people achieve financial success and enjoy their lives while others have to work hard, flounder, and live from paycheck to paycheck.

Now, Svetlana Sherstobitova is a certified teacher in various spheres.
In 2003 Svetlana started studying at the Institute of Foreign Languages and Literature of Udmurt State University.

In 2008, Svetlana graduated from the Institute of Foreign Languages and Literature at the Udmurt State University with the qualification of “philologist, teacher of English and German languages”.
