Teacher of Russian languages for adults and children

From 164.31 C$ /h

I teach adults and children of any age and any level,

The core of my approach is:

- Practice, practice, practice!
Language proficiency is not knowledge but a SKILL. Every single theoretical topic should be practiced. For that reason, all my courses are full of practical tasks.

- Having fun while learning.
Only by having fun can your studying be effective. That’s why the practical tasks of my courses are interactive games. Another crucial point is 100 % clarity of the course theory — learning objectives for every course is made clear from the start.

- Focus
There is too much information nowadays. It’s more and more difficult to navigate through it. So it’s important to have high-quality curated information for your studies: precisely what you need to address your specific needs: a real language for real life.

- Authentic language.
I provide only genuine language spoken by people in real life.

- A teacher’s mission is to inspire and to give direction, not just transfer knowledge into a student’s head.
The best result is when students can learn by themselves, and when they are motivated to use every opportunity to master a foreign language. I will readily share strategies and resources for independently studying foreign languages.

- Result vs process.
A foreign language is not about good grades. Its real purpose is to improve your life. That’s why each lesson is another step toward your better life. No unnecessary information but precisely what you need to achieve your goals.

I am a native Russian speaker and have a Master's degree from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, where I studied languages and history together with international students. Since foreign students did not possess the knowledge of the Russian language when they came to study, I worked with them as a tutor.

Thanks to this experience I know how to teach Russian to foreigners and will help you too to improve your level by applying specific methodologies. We will work on grammar and vocabulary. All lessons will be tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you progress quickly.

I look forward to meeting you!

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

Online French courses

My name is Maciej. I am a linguist, polyglot and owner of the international language school Partout Languages. My courses are oriented towards intensive learning, based on a diplomatic method. I train, among others, EU staff (European Parliament, Court of Justice of the European Union), entrepreneurs and public figures.

Here are some of our accomplishments:
• Help a diplomat from the Legal Service of the European Parliament to reach level C1 in just 6 months, starting from level B1,
• Accompany a lawyer Mr. SERAFIN to reach DELF B2 level in 10 months, starting from scratch, with a view to a specialized course at the University of Orléans.
• Design training for the international banking sector of EIF Bank on French phonetics and phonology.
Other testimonials can be read on the website of my school Partout Languages, all authenticated by the students' signatures and their Linkedin profiles.

I specialize in diplomatic French lessons, public speech preparation and accent correction. However, I am open to anyone who wants to learn French, whether adults who want to progress for their personal development or young students.

My training :
• Specialized courses in French in Paris – grammar, linguistics, syntax, history of French literature (Paris-Diderot University);
• Fluent in English (Cambridge Proficiency Certificate C2) and advanced level proficiency in German (Goethe Zertifikat B2), which allows me to teach French in combination with English and/or German;
• Experience in international institutions (UNESCO) and interventions in countries requiring humanitarian aid, notably Syria, Lebanon and Iraq;
• Since 2019, I have been focusing on the development of language services within the Partout Languages school (levels A0-C2+).

How are the lessons going?
From the very first consultation, I offer you a teaching program that is fully tailored to your goals. During the first lesson, we define your goals together and then consistently achieve them. I do not exert any unnecessary pressure, I am always there to motivate you positively – all my attention is focused on your needs. During the lessons, we use various materials, many of which are completely personalized and prepared only for you. The pace of the lessons and their program are adjusted to your needs, while creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Hello

My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders.

Why This Specialization?

Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system.

Several factors can explain these obstacles:

• Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information.

• A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty.

• Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions.

Why Private Tutoring?

I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom?

I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange.

As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting.

What kind of support do I offer?

1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.).

2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization.

3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations.

4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers.

5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension.

Methods and Tools

1. Creation of personalized teaching materials

I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals.

2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking

• I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods.

• Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence.

3. Structured sessions and work organization

I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm.

Example of a French lesson:

• Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises.

• Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension.

This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning.

4. Building independence

Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized:

• How to structure their notes to ease revision.

• How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming.

• How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work.

We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams.

Pricing and Follow-up

Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials.

A two-part pricing structure

Each session includes two essential components:

1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange.

2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs.

What does this provide?

• Truly personalized follow-up

• Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges.

• In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session.

Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

What you get in each lesson:
• Clear structure and explanation

Spanish language is the fourth most spoken Language in the world (about 558 Millionen). Every day more people are interested in learning this language, not only for travel, but also as a language for business or to make new friends.
I want to provide the essential vocabulary and pronunciation that students need to use in different situations using visual and other materials. I will focus on the vocabulary needed when the student is in the Hispanic countries.
Also, I want to include conversations used in everyday life, so that students can feel comfortable.
Given my experience as a translator, I can review and correct texts in different fields.
