Russian for Foreigners: Speak Naturally and Confidently

From 22 C$ /h

Hi there!

My name is Hanna. And I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is simple: love what you teach and love the people you teach.

I work with students of all levels, both adults and children. In the first class, we will identify your level of Russian.

With my students, I work on
1) understanding spoken Russian,
2) clear and natural pronunciation,
3) reading and understanding texts,
4) expanding vocabulary,
5) grammar that you can actually use,
6) speaking without translating every word in your head,
7) and, with kids, overcoming letter-by-letter reading and mirror writing (N-И, R-Я).

I am strongly against cramming and learning things that you will never use in real life or everyday conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential!

I will help you fall in love with Russian and make progress day by day.

And believe me, no one is "not talented enough" to speak Russian. If you want to learn, we will find a way to make it work.

About Me

I am a teacher who truly believes in every student's potential. I don’t believe in “difficult” students; sometimes a teacher hasn’t found the right approach yet.

One of my strongest qualities as a teacher is my ability to see each student as an individual.
I focus on helping students develop their strengths while also working carefully on the areas that need improvement.
I know how to adjust the learning pace and workload, and I can be demanding when I clearly see that a student is capable of more than they believe themselves.
At the same time, I remain patient and calm when we need to go over something multiple times until it finally becomes clear.

In everyday life, I’m a cheerful and curious person. I enjoy humor and meaningful conversations, and I’m interested in many different topics. Because of that, I always enjoy learning new things from my students as well. Every student is unique and brings their own experiences and perspectives, and I love discussing those during our lessons.

Seeing my students’ progress is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. Their results motivate me to keep growing as a teacher and to bring even more value to people who are interested in learning Russian.

Education

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from European Humanities University. During my studies, I developed strong skills in communication, language analysis, and working with people from different cultural backgrounds.

My academic background helped me better understand how language works not only as a system of grammar and vocabulary, but also as a tool for connection, expression, and cultural exchange. These studies strengthened my ability to explain complex ideas in a clear and accessible way, which is an important part of effective teaching.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Hello! I'm Sanghee and a native Korean speaker.

With 5+ years of teaching experience and a certificate from a Korean teacher training program, I've taught many different students from other countries. I started my 'Uri Korean' business in the Netherlands, and I also make educational content for all learners to make it very accessible.

If you don't know any Korean, we can start by learning the Korean alphabet.
The private classes can be 1:1 or 1:2, and they will be focused on your level and pace.
You will just need to spend 1 to 2 hours doing your homework assignments.

I use Korean language school textbooks for the class, so you can learn step-by-step.
My classes consist of speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary.
I will give you many chances to speak Korean in every lesson.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you soon in class!

Homework support isn't about getting answers faster. It's about learning how to learn.
While some parents see homework as a battle, I see an opportunity: teaching your child how his brain actually works.

In this class, your child will learn:
✓ How to actually study: not "work harder," but use methods that stick (mind maps, spaced repetition, Pomodoro technique)
✓ Time management without stress: organizing a chaotic schedule without anxiety apps
✓ When to use AI wisely: ChatGPT and other tools as learning partners, not cheating shortcuts
✓ Skills that matter: clear communication, problem-solving like a real thinker, asking good questions
✓ Support in any subject: math, languages, science, humanities, whatever they struggle with

How it works:
We start by understanding how your child actually learns, we don't impose a system that doesn't work for him.
Then we build a toolkit: proven study methods, personal strategies, technology used intelligently, and the confidence that he can learn anything.

What they take home:
A study system that works for him, not for others. Techniques he uses across all subjects. And something more important: the belief that learning isn't something that happens to him — it's something he controls.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Personalized to his age, subjects, and pace.
For parents wondering "Why is homework still a battle?"

Let's rebuild the foundation

For some students, homework help in the evening (over a fairly short period of time, often an hour from time to time is enough to create a method that allows the student to improve their work by themselves) may be a necessity.
What can also be useful is the deepening of the lessons through small exercises and clarification on the gray points of the courses.
What I am proposing here is this help, multidisciplinary until the start of middle school, then, in middle school or high school, in all subjects with the exception of mathematics and possibly physics.
I can particularly help in French, history geography, English, SVT, Spanish and geopolitics.

The purpose of this course ranges from the simple explanation, reformulation and relearning of a misunderstood course to the development of the student in a given discipline.
To do this, I do multiple application exercises, followed by corrections and more theoretical parts if necessary.

Hi everyone!

I’m from Poland and I’m a huge foreign-language enthusiast. Learning languages is one of my biggest hobbies, and I spend a lot of my free time studying and practicing them. I’ve already had the opportunity to teach some students in Poland, and now I’d love to teach people from Zagreb as well — or anyone interested in learning via webcam!

I’d be happy to help you learn or improve any of the following languages:

German — C1 level, confirmed by a Goethe-Zertifikat. I also have 1.5 years of experience living and communicating in a German-speaking environment.

English — C1 level. I studied Biomedical Engineering in English and I’m also a member of ESN, a student organization where communicating with exchange students from all over the world is an important part of what we do.

Russian — C1 level. In high school, I was preparing for the Russian Language Olympiad, which was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Italian — B2 level. I’m currently working towards taking the C1 Italian exam in 2027.

Polish - my native language!

If you’re interested in learning a language, improving your speaking skills, or simply having someone to practice with, feel free to message me! I’d be happy to tell you more about how I teach and arrange a lesson:)

Children learn best when head, heart and hands work together.Numbers don't have to be scary. In my lessons, children experience math through rhythm, movement, stories and imagination, and discover why it works, not just how to get the answer.

*About the class*
Based on Waldorf pedagogy, this online class helps children aged 6–12 build a deep, lasting relationship with mathematics. Instead of drilling and memorizing, we start from the whole and move to the parts: from stories, images and hands-on activity to number sense and confident calculation.
This approach nurtures curiosity, concentration and confidence, so math becomes something children enjoy rather than endure.

Hello, my name is Dauirzhan! And I know the struggles or learning a new language. So, let me help you overcome them.

These one-on-one English lessons will be tailored directly to your specific goals, level, and learning style.
They are taught by me: a Cambridge CELTA-certified teacher with degrees in Law and International Relations, and we will focus on building real practical communication skills rather than repeating passive textbook drills.

Whether you need to gain confidence in conversational English, master professional terminology for corporate work, or score higher on the IELTS exam, every session is designed around active practice and clear progress.

Learning Tracks Offered:
1) General & Conversational English: Improve fluency, polish pronunciation, and build confidence for everyday conversations, travel, or living abroad.
2) Business & Legal English (ESP): Tailored training focusing on contract terminology, high-stakes negotiations, executive email writing, and professional presentations, drawing directly on legal and international relations experience.
3) IELTS & Exam Strategy: Focused exam preparation covering speaking, writing, reading, and listening strategies (85% of previous students achieved their target scores).
4) Academic English: Writing structure, analytical reading, and presentation skills for university applications and coursework.

I learnt English myself once, so I know it can be complicated and may seem impossible. However, I will help you with learning English in the smoothest atmosphere possible and of course without forgetting about efficiency.
