I am a native Russian speaker from Belarus. I have over 12 years of online teaching experience. And more than 15 years teaching experience at the university level.
I like different methods of language learning and offer it to you who learn Russian language. I invite you to take advantage of my blend of these wonderful techniques.
Me as a Teacher
I use the best proven textbooks that will allow you to easily and confidently walk (continue) your chosen path. You will always know where you are and where you are going and what is yet to come.
A website is also available for my students with lots of additional reading and listening material (slow and fast paced) with transcription and translation in the form of pop-up prompts.
You can also record a video of the lesson and repeat it at any time.
On the technical side: I have a very good stable Internet connection, good webcams (not budget level) and a quality noise-canceling audio equipment. Thus, there are almost no problems with communication from my side.
My lessons & teaching style
I think, your experience tells you that when you learn a new language the hardest thing is to use grammar and words easily and naturally, without thinking.
Gaining skills in using of words and rules requires a daily proper practice. The practice requires a labor and time. It's unavoidable. All that you can do in this situation is to increase the effectiveness of your time and your work by using the correct approach to training.
To achieve these goals, in addition to the best textbooks, I use a storytelling method with circling approach well-known for its efficiency. It is a natural, intuitive and adaptive approach. You will understand everything and automatically use your knowledge.

Teacher’s pick
Alex is a great teacher. If you are serious about learning Russian he is the one you need. I have taken many Russian courses over the past couple of years and none have helped as much as Alex's classes. The amount my Russian has improved (and continues to improve) shocks me sometimes. Seriously, if you have a passion or need to learn/improve your Russian then look no further. He is a great guy and a pleasure to converse with. I am grateful and proud to have him not only as my Russian teacher but also as a friend.

Alexander is a very good teacher. He makes you work quite hard, but his technique is very interesting and it is worth putting in the investment that he demands as you come through with a much better understanding of Russian grammar. He is friendly and professional and generous with his time.
Thank you so much for a great lesson. Alexander is very professional and supportive, and a great teacher. Patient, friendly and has very efficient learning methods. I can't recommend him enough.

If you're looking for TPRS-style techniques, Alexander is the first Russian teacher I've found on all platforms that actually knows how to use the techniques. I'm glad to have found him.

Только сейчас я рад, что я чувствую настроение и смысл художественных статьей на русском языке при чтении, не просто я это знаю, я это понимаю, с чувством понять литературу пока со словами преподавателей этого достиг. Вспомнил, когда мы были маленькими, в школе также у нас было проведено чтение, не только в начальном этапе, и даже чуть-чуть поже нам все ровно нужно помощь со стороны. Вот русский язык, русская литература...
