My name is Șochichiu Rodica Mariana (née Danciu). I was born in Romania and I left for Moscow when I was eighteen, where I studied philology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. For many years I lived in Russia, Italy, Germany and South Korea. I have a keen interest in literature, cinema, music and photography. In addition to my native Romanian, I am fluent in Russian, Italian and English, and I enjoy comparing languages and finding the origins of words.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, one of my priorities is adapting to my student's needs and helping them to discover the joy of learning. I start by getting to know them, noticing what grabs their attention, understanding their goals and creating together a customized study plan.
I seek to make the learning experience also serve as a cultural bridge by a mutual sharing of cultural knowledge. Knowing the cultural context of the target language helps maintain interest and informs appropriate usage, while learning to talk about one's own culture in a new language is also immensly beneficial and allows the learner to tie the newly acquired language to their own experience and sharing them with new friends.
My lessons & teaching style
One of my preferred approaches is based on the Facilitator method, creating an interactive and enjoyable context where the student may feel as if they are on a personal journey of discovery rather than merely being taught information. When studying a text, I encourage them to find by themselves the meanings of words that have cognates in the languages they already know and enjoy a sense of achievement and of realization that they can already figure out a great deal of the target language without having studied it beforehand! I also incorporate the natural approach and I a ready to employ a Hybrid method or a more traditionalist approach when appropriate.

This is my third class with this teacher. Today we read blogs on two tourist places in Romania(The Merry Cemetery and the Pales Castle). The teacher helped me comprehend the texts and implemented the grammar she taught me in the last lesson while reading the texts.

The trial lesson was fascinating. The teacher showed me some beautiful monasteries in Romania, and we read a very unique poem related to one of the monasteries. I loved the poem and its meaning, and being a very proactive class I was able to keep my concentration span throughout the entire class!
