Marie
Certified teacher with over 14 years of teaching experience I'm friendly, flexible and very patient. I like discussing various topics such as music, films, food, technologies, traveling, culture, etc. I'm good at explaining grammar, so you can ask me any questions about that. I prefer not to push but to inspire, and individual approach is my main principle. I let the students study at their own pace, and I always try to find the best way to help them achieve their goals. I'm happy to see how my lessons help my students to travel, to communicate with their family members, to find work in another country, to get another citizenship, etc. I also hope I can help people from different countries understand each other better.

Olga
Certified teacher of Russian since 2013. In my lessons I use only modern textbooks whith athentic materials. I explain each grammatical topic in much detail and answer gladly any following questions. I work out the Aspects of Verbs (Imperfective and Perfective) in details using modern technique of explaination. Я очень понятно объясняю грамматику и тщательно отрабатываю с учениками каждую грамматическую тему. Я считаю, что лучше идти медленно и фундаментально, чем быстро и поверхностно. На уроках я использую современные учебные материалы. Когда ученик достигает определённого уровня, я включаю материал рекламные ролики, куски из фильмов, объявления, таким образом погружаю ученика в аутентичный язык.

Step by step in understanding the beauty and harmony of the Russian 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. 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Discover Russian Brilliance: Your Path to Fluency May Start Here! 👇👇👇 Open to English, Spanish, Italian, and Turkish speakers of ALL AGES. 👋👋👋 I studied Linguistics, English and Spanish Languages and Literature at the University. Additionally, completed Italian language courses and earned a degree in teaching Russian as a foreign language. As a hardworking person who values and respects the time and resources invested, I’m usually quite strict with myself because I believe that good discipline accounts for 50% of success. I believe that understanding your goals and requirements is essential to making your learning experience as effective as possible. This is my teaching philosophy. The rest is simply wise planning and discipline.

Ibrahim
Русский язык - O'zbek tili - English I would say I started teaching Russian and Uzbek to my university friends first. It was nothing more than a conversational Russian practice help, but with a few grammar explanations and new words and phrases. It happened to be very effective. After university, I started taking teaching Russian more seriously. I put more emphasis on grammar and practicing speaking skills to make well-constructed lessons. But at the same time, I learned to build an individual approach to every student. I worked in a summer language school in Russia for some time, where I taught English as a second language. In general, I have been working as a language tutor on different language levels for about 5 years now.

The world is our home and knowledge of the language allows you to erase the boundaries in it. I have students of all ages, both children and adults!.

Evgueni
JC - TESOL Certified with 7+ Years of Experience I have worked in high pressure environments such as company meeting halls with large groups of people but I prefer to teach in private. I think 1-on-1 lessons are far more beneficial than other types of lessons. Other lessons may indeed be more fun but you will likely learn less. After teaching for 7+ years now, there were many demonstrable success stories with students regularly passing various language tests such as EIKEN in Japan or TRKI in Russia. I combine writing, speaking and listening into a unique experience. I also include thorough notes after each class, not just things copy-pasted from the chat.
