Thema von InteresseEssenFilmeLesen
I am a native speaker of English, born and raised in New York. I hold a PhD in linguistics from Stony Brook University. I have a true passion for pronunciation and grammar, and have taught university courses on phonetics and syntax for over 10 years.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am comfortable teaching true beginners as well as highly advanced students, and am happy to tailor each lesson to your particular strengths and interests. Teaching is something to be taken seriously, but it's equally important that both of us are having fun, otherwise the learning won't happen.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I enjoy creating phonetics and grammar drills to work on students' weak spots, and establishing a warm, friendly environment where you can feel free to be as expressive as possible, knowing that your mistakes will be eventually be corrected, but not in a way that breaks up the flow of the conversation.
Russel has a huge talent in the language and can point out my speaking problem easily.

I am working with Russell specifically on pronunciation. He is amazing! I highly recommend working with him. Our classes are very interactive. He clearly loves what he does and he transmits his passion for pronouncing correctly. He is also both thorough and very kind in his corrections, which helps me improve while at the same time, I feel comfortable mispronouncing words in front of him :)

Russel is a very professional and experienced teacher. During an hour we had a chance to work on my accent and grammar. Will definitely book the lesson again and highly recommend Russel, if you’re struggling with the accent as me.
