I am a native speaker of English, born and raised in New York. I hold a PhD in linguistics from Stony Brook University. I have a true passion for pronunciation and grammar, and have taught university courses on phonetics and syntax for over 10 years.
Ik als leerkracht
I am comfortable teaching true beginners as well as highly advanced students, and am happy to tailor each lesson to your particular strengths and interests. Teaching is something to be taken seriously, but it's equally important that both of us are having fun, otherwise the learning won't happen.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I enjoy creating phonetics and grammar drills to work on students' weak spots, and establishing a warm, friendly environment where you can feel free to be as expressive as possible, knowing that your mistakes will be eventually be corrected, but not in a way that breaks up the flow of the conversation.

Thanks for the lesson, Russell! It was nice to talk to someone else who is obsessed with phonetics and dialectal variation!

I had my first lesson with Russell this morning, and I am very happy with it. He was kind, enthusiastic, smart, and knowledgeable. He graciously helped me correct my mistakes.
I definitely recommend such a competent and dedicated teacher to anyone who wants to truly improve their language skills.
Thank you, Russell! I really appreciate your help.
