General Russian. All Levels. Choose a class that best suits your needs.

From 23 C$ /h

I offer an exciting range of General Russian classes for all levels, from beginner to proficiency.
Our core class is an integrated skills class. It covers reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. In this class, you'll improve your accuracy (how correct your Russian is) and fluency (how well you can communicate). Lessons have daily and weekly objectives so you know what you’ll learn and how you’ll learn it. I provide you with regular assessments that allow you to keep track of your progress. I use the Communicative Approach, so you'll learn Russian by using Russian—not by listening to grammar lectures and doing worksheets. I feel strongly that this is the most effective method to acquire Russian that students can use in the real world.

About Me

Certified and Experienced English and Russian Tutor - To all New Students -
Hi there! My name is Marina, I’m an English teacher from Russia. I’m currently living in Ukraine, where I am teaching English/Russian online. I started teaching English/Russian professionally in 2000 shortly after graduating from University. I have my Master's degree in ESL Education, as well as a TESOL certificate (Arizona State University, 2018).

Why learn with me?

My lessons are really interesting, interactive and always designed to help your personal English/Russian needs and goals. So, if you would like to improve your pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, I welcome you to join my lessons and we can achieve your goals together.
I possess 17 years of corporate experience in the Finance, Banking, Technology and Construction industries (M.A. Building Engineering, B.A. in Accountancy)
My main areas of teaching are general English/Russian, Business English/ Russian, IELTS preparation, Russian Tests preparation, English for kids.
My areas of specialty are report writing/business and also presentations in English/Russian.
I enjoy developing a strong rapport with my students, combining dynamic and fun classes with a professional style. I will inspire you to succeed on your path to learning and improving your English/Russian whether it be for professional or personal use.

What factors can influence my progress?
– Frequency of lessons
Every lesson begins with a revision of material from previous lessons. The more often you take lessons, the better you remember the revised material and the less repetition you need. If you do less repetition, you have more time for new work and you progress faster.
– Connection quality
It’s very important that your tutors and you can hear each other clearly. Your tutor and you will speak simultaneously a lot of the time, so it’s important that there is no lag. If there are sound issues, your lessons will be less efficient and your progress will be slower.
– Exercises
Between lessons, you will be able to do Exercises that will help you revise on your own as well as practice spelling. If you do these exercises regularly, you will remember previous lessons better and needless repetition.

Hack your day for IELTS practice. IELTS Test Prep.

23 C$ /h

I provide IELTS Online Training for both General and Academic modules. So, you can choose to train yourself according to your requirements.

It's easy to get an average 7 with 4 weeks of preparation provided my assumption is true. If you need a 7+ in writing, then it all comes down to your current quality of language. Without knowing your current quality it is difficult to predict the time frame.
IELTS is not perfect, but it is certainly not unfair. In fact, it is probably the best measure of a person’s English skills.
Do remember that 7 bands in every module is not a piece of cake, so start practicing from now on!
-------- Academic IELTS vs General Training IELTS------------
**** Which one is easier: the IELTS General or the IELTS Academic?
Both versions of the test have the same general format. Your English writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills will be tested separately no matter which version you take. In fact, there aren’t any differences between the listening and speaking sections at all. Both writing versions involve two writing tasks and both reading versions ask 40 questions in response to assigned readings. Differences begin to appear, however, in the nature of the content and task types.
Ultimately these tests really are 70% similar, and you won’t have a choice as to which format you sit for. So it’s probably better to figure out how hard the IELTS will be for you.

***** What is essential to score a high band?
Most of the students do well in their Listening, Reading and Speaking sessions but scoreless bands in the Writing section. This is due to a lack of sentence formation and also repeated use of the same words within an essay. I would like to add a point on grammar and vocabulary.
Where do you begin? A focused IELTS study plan will show you which areas to study and practice every day, gradually preparing you for test day.
----- IELTS study plan (reading, listening, writing, speaking)
----- The IELTS Writing. Modules test your ability to produce two quite different pieces of writing in a fairly short period of time. Before applying to sit the test, you need to decide whether to take the Academic or the General Training module. Each module is divided into two parts and you have only one hour to complete both pieces of writing.
----- IELTS Reading. Reading Techniques & Strategies.
------ IELTS Listening: Essential Skills and Strategies.
------ IELTS Speaking: IELTS mind map to organize and brainstorm your answer for the speaking

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with 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 :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

The Italian course includes an initial introductory meeting to assess the student's level, which will determine the most appropriate learning approach.
It will be possible to choose what to work on based on the objectives agreed upon during the first meeting, considering the possibility of developing written, oral and written production skills, but above all listening skills.
To ensure solid and structured progress, the reinforcement of practical skills is alternated with the study of grammar. The volume and intensity of the grammar modules are adjusted according to the learner's needs, thus ensuring an optimal balance between linguistic theory and practical application.

Given that we live in a globalized world with ever-increasing cultural exchange, it is essential to refine foreign language learning so that it becomes an effective tool for use in various fields (medicine, commerce, office work, etc.). The aim is for the language to be not only an object of knowledge but also a means of communication within a given context. To this end, this course is based on four levels and aims to foster an understanding of British culture by focusing on the four basic skills a person should be able to master: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
