As a professional teacher and native Russian speaker, as well as an interpreter with a Master's degree, I bring considerable expertise to my online tutoring sessions. My personal interests in linguistics, grammar, history, art, culture, music, technology, and crypto greatly enhance my teaching approach. I am enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and incorporating these fascinating subjects into our lessons. With years of teaching experience in secondary schools, high schools, and universities, I have successfully guided students with diverse goals. Some of my students learn Russian to communicate with partners/families in Russian, others seek to immerse themselves in new culture, or prepare for the TORFL exam. You can be confident that your specific language needs will be met. I provide comprehensive learning materials, including student books, supplementary practice sheets, and listening files, to improve your speaking skills, grammar proficiency, and vocabulary. If you are a beginner, you will be amazed at how quickly you grasp the fundamentals of Russian, starting from the Alphabet and progressing to essential grammar rules, vocabulary, and conversational phrases. In my Intermediate and Advanced lessons, the primary focus is on enhancing your communication skills and fluency. Through regular speaking practice and engaging in challenging discussions, you will see a significant improvement in your Russian language proficiency. I understand that Russian may initially appear daunting, but I assure you that it is more structured and straightforward than English in many aspects. Trust your senses and intuition, and you will soon discover that mastering Russian is well within your reach.
