Her fascinating background within the art community and education taught her howto navigate through life’s normal trials and tribulations. However, it wasn’t until her daughter(now fourteen) was diagnosed with a life-altering disability that she was able to truly find hermuse.Elena is the founder and director of Biryukov Academy. She holds a Masters in educationfrom the Moscow State Pedagogical University and has 30 years of teaching experience. Lenacomes from a family of artists, most notably Nikolai Gladkikh (1926 - 1995) and MikhailBiryukov (1927 - 1995), both Soviet era painters and Russian academicians of wide notoriety.Elena’s currently started a movement “Paint Your Breakthrough” in hopes to change thecurrent state of the art education in the US.Zelenina suspected something was inexact as her child’s speech caused her concern aroundage three. After several visits to different speech therapists, one therapist mentioned the phrase“Auditory Processing Disorder.” While Elena feverishly researched the potential disorder,something she had never heard of, her daughter was placed in special education classes as shebegan school. Finally, after close to four years of debate and searching for an answer, ElenaZelenina’s presumptions about her daughter’s possible disorder were verified. Her daughter wasfinally diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder at age seven.Elena decided empowerment through education and art would not only be the mostbeneficial choice for her daughter. Armed with about thirty years of teaching experience, and anatural affinity for art and music, she began a pursuit of healing for her daughter.A crucial path to self-discovery for both Elena and her daughter was about to be broughtto light. Zelenina decided to host classes in her home when she discovered that many schoolshad cut art and music programs to the bone, and share what she had seen work for her own childwith others. Then in 2003, she opened the academy to broaden the reach, influence, and positivemessages of her programs further. The academy is proud to have provided life-altering lessonsfor hundreds of students.Biryukov Academy is dedicated to both the social and cultural enrichment of students,offering art, music, foriegn language and theater classes that foster personal empowerment, andteach self-esteem & community responsibility.
