Teaching is a deeply creative process for me and a practice of being in the moment. ➡️ Very systematic ➡️Suggested homework ➡️ A variety of materials used - videos, texts, interviews,etc. ➡️ at your pace.
I'm a native Russian living now by the Black sea and previously whole life in beautiful Siberia. I’m interested in different things, the most important for me now are reading (popular science - how the brain works; classical literature, modern literature from literary awards shortlists) and contact improvisation (which I also teach in my city).Me as a Teacher
Although my teaching experience started a long time ago, I still find teaching a deeply creative process and a practice of being in the moment.
I have a bachelor's degree in pedagogy and a good knowledge of teaching methods. I've been trained to give professional lessons in teaching Russian at Moscow state university. I always prepare my lessons in details but I can easily improvise as well!
Recently I have developed and given the course on teaching Russian as a foreign language to other language teachers. It helped me even more to optimize and clarify the approach that grew out of my practice.My lessons & teaching style
I offer different courses and work with/without textbooks. Teaching beginners, I use English because it’s important to get core ideas across in a clear way but then gradually I give instructions in Russian. Giving new material, I use the 3P method (presentation, practice, production), mnemonics and cultural-historical concepts. Before moving on, I make sure that students have mastered the previous material. Between lessons students do homework to practice new material and get corrections before their next lesson. Having a textbook-based course, I use a book written by one of the best Russian methodists which deals with different aspects of the language. I also use authentic materials.My teaching material

Tatiana is a wonderful teacher. She has developed many very effective methods to help you remember difficult or important aspects of the Russian language. I highly recommend her to any student attempting to improve his/her Russian . Always focused on your needs, provides lots of feedback, corrects mistakes in a tactful way, organized, uses Internet materials in an efficient manner, researches tailored topics for you and the list goes on... In short a real professional !

Tatiana has been a fantastic teacher, she always explains grammatical structure in a very simple way, and she makes learning Russian fun. :) I will definitely take lessons again with her, when she is able to renew teaching. большое спасибо!

My review is true and genuine. If you want to learn or strengthen your Russian. Honesty, and without hesitation you should try Tatianna. I do not believe that it is likely that you will find a better teacher on this site. I have taken quite a few lessons from many teachers and tutors. Tatianna is one, if not the best. Honesty, I am an older, anxious student that has difficulty focusing. She keeps me on track. She is always on time & prepared. No distractions. The material she presents is appropriate and she alters it to turn in on my weaknesses. I have never felt bored.
