About Me
italki teacher since Feb 17, 2020InterestsTravelHistoryArtReadingWriting
Hello! My name is Sofiya.
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I was born and raised in Moscow. My first degree was in music theory. I love learning new things and discovering the cultures and traditions of other countries.
I find inspiration in books, art and nature.
I am interested in people and their perspectives on life. I look forward to meeting you!
If you would like to take a class with me at a different time, please message me and we can arrange a time that suits us both.Me as a Teacher
My first degree was in Music, and initially, I was a music teacher. Giving Russian lessons to foreign students was a hobby at first. But then I decided to get a second degree, went to Lomonosov Moscow University, and graduated as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language.
I really like to make complex things simple for my students. Learning a language is like traveling to a new country, and I try to make this journey interesting and comfortable for each student.
I usually use the communicative method of teaching, and during lessons, we use mostly Russian.
In any lesson, I motivate students to speak as much as possible and familiarize them with the traditions and culture of Russia.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are always tailored to the requests and priorities of a student.
If you want to speak more fluently, I offer supportive communication, interesting topics and gentle correction of mistakes.
If you're looking for structured, intense lessons or are preparing for a test, I'll select materials and tailor a course to your goals.
For lessons with children, including bilinguals, I prepare unique learning material for each student, considering their preferences. Once a language becomes a tool for learning something interesting, it strengthens the connection with Russian and helps to feel the grammar rather than memorize it.My teaching material

I've been studying Russian with Sofia for 3 months are so. She's highly professional, really positive and she does her best to cater to my Russian language needs. I highly recommend having classes with her.
