Hi there! I'm Masha. I'm a Moscow-based musician and Moscow Conservatory graduate (my major is musicology and choir conducting). Recently I've embarked on my postgraduate studies so I'm currently a 1st year PhD student working on a thesis dedicated to Paul Dukas oeuvre (it's a fascinating fin-de-siècle French composer).
I'm studying English - my level is somewhat B2 - C1 (passed FCE in 2012) - and dreaming about taking CPE one day! And I'm also trying my best to master French! (My level is B1). I love doing sports. I'm keen on tai-boxing. In my free time I read articles and books covering political issues (so I'll be able to recommend you reading some top-notch Russian news sources!)
Me as a Teacher
I'm really passionate about teaching! I'm very talkative and patient, open-minded and easy-going.
I'm versatile: ready to bring up any topic that you're heavily into! Once we're done with a lesson I guarantee you'll have a bunch of new perky phrases to incorporate into your language knowledge!
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons I will help you to boost your vocabulary, implementing some new language patterns in it and spicing it up with some complex and sophisticated constructions so that your speech could become more natural and fluent! We can also work on your writing proficiency! It's another great way to take your language to the next level! You will get some guidance on writing from me and you'll be able to create an essay of your dream in Russian! All the materials are provided by me in advance. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
