Learn how to communicate in Russian and English now
From 41.6 C$ /h
I am a native speaker of Russian and a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language. I also have a degree in linguistics and translation. My second language is English. I have taught English for seven years to children and adults, in groups and individually.
Russian is the language spoken by people living in vast areas of Eurasia. It is used as a lingua franca by speakers of different languages. A large number of world-famous works of literary art were created by Russian writers.
I invite motivated students to my Russian and English classes who know exactly what they want to learn the language for. Classes are held in an interactive format, so that attention is paid to all four types of communication skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. In the case of special wishes of the student, preference is given to one aspect, for example, reading or speaking.
At the beginning of each lesson, we set a goal, and at the end we sum up the results. I give my students feedback so that they could evaluate their progress.

About Me
I am a native speaker and certified teacher of Russian.
I have a degree in linguistics and translation. My second language is English. I have taught English for seven years to children and adults, in groups and individually.
I have a wealth of life experience and a great sensitivity to human needs. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and disability friendly. I have worked as an assistant for people with disabilities and have been doing self-advocacy in the field of disability justice since 2020. Therefore, in my classes, I take into account the special needs of my students, for example, reading difficulties (dyslexia), or the special interests in autistic people.
