Interest topicReadingSports & FitnessTravel
Bonjour, hello, здраствуйте!
My name is Katia, I am 27 year old and I am currently working as a business developer in the chemical industry.
I love travelling and I actually have been in many countries all around the world. I love discovering new cultures and meeting new people. So far, I have lived in France (I am French) but also Russia because I am half-Russian! I have also lived 1 year in the USA, in Atlanta, Georgia and 1 year in Japan.
I also love cooking, reading, learning languages, lifting weights at the gym, basketball (used to be a professional player).
I have been teaching on italki for 2 years now and I love it!!

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching French for 3 years and recently started teaching Russian and French. I am very patient with my students and I like to put an accent on the speaking part. A good lesson for me would be to practically not talk at all during the lesson, only to correct your mistakes! But of course I always comme prepared for my lessons as I have had some experience in teaching languages.
I also love having a naturally flowing conversation, I will talk to you as I would talk to my friends in France :)
I do have a job besides italki and keep teaching people because I love meeting new people and hear all the different experiences from you.
My lessons & teaching style
As I said earlier, I put a big accent on speaking in my classes and find different ways to do it. I mostly love working on news articles tailored to your level (do not worry, you won't have to read "Le Monde" if you are a beginner in French!), or videos with a script.
I do not spend much time on grammar, but it mostly depends on your level and your needs. However, when I do teach grammar, it is not very long and we end up speaking using the new grammar point.
But of course if you have other needs, I am happy to hear what you are looking for and design the best lesson possible for you, wether it is preparing a trip abroad, a language exam to study abroad, etc.

Katia était très facile à comprendre et avec qui parler. Je voulais pouvoir avoir une conversation en français et elle me l'a très volontiers fourni, le temps est passé très vite.

Katia est très douée à aider les étudiants à discuter et pratiquer le français. Elle faisait attention à mes fautes, et m’a corrigé toute de suite. (Je lui ai expliqué que je préfère qu’elle me corrige chaque fois, mais elle a déjà commencé à le faire.) J’attends avec impatience notre cours prochain.

Merci beaucoup Katia pour ces merveilleuses leçons ! C’est toujours très intéressant de communiquer, le temps passe vite. La barrière de la langue s’évapore tout simplement sous nos yeux. <3
