Hello everyone!
My name is Sofia. I am a native Russian speaker. I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia, but now I live in Japan. I used to work as a furniture restorer. Since childhood, I have been learning foreign languages with much success. Now I teach Russian as a foreign language. I can use English and Japanese with my students.
I hiking, nature, and learning foreign languages. I love bouldering!
I would be happy to share my experience in those fields:)Me as a Teacher
I have over one year of experience teaching foreign students. My own journey in learning languages has helped me develop effective teaching methods that I apply in my lessons. Additionally, I hold a certification in Methods of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language.
For students with prior knowledge of Russian, you can expect noticeable improvements starting from the trial lesson. I’ll highlight your key mistakes and provide personalized recommendations for structuring your learning routine and out-of-class activities.My lessons & teaching style
If you are a serious learner who doesn't want to spend valuable lesson time on activities you can do independently, I am exactly who you are looking for! I will provide you with all the necessary materials for self-study and ensure that I carefully check your understanding during our lessons. To ensure your studies are progressing well and you are satisfied with everything, we will review your impressions and goals together every 2-4 weeks and make changes to your lesson plan if necessary. If you want to see real progress, please write me!
My students often praise my methods of error correction and my assistance in identifying problematic areas in their speech.My teaching material

Sofia is easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. Her teaching methods are highly effective and she is always engaged in helping you learn. She seems to know exactly what you need to learn and engages you with lessons that are appropriate to your language level. She is very patient, calm, and cares about her students. With her teaching I feel I have made significant progress in my Russian language learning journey. I would strongly recommend her for anyone learning Russian.
