Russian language
I teach: Russian
Hello! I'm a native teacher of Russian from Moscow. I have a Master's Degree in philology (The Pushkin State Russian Language Institute)... and I'm a fully qualified teacher of Russian as a foreign language. I speak English.In my lessons I use communicative methodology with development of all language skills, based on speaking. My lessons are well-organized and structured. I can help you to cope with Russian grammar, and it won't be boring at all! During my teaching career I've made my own grammar materials as the explanations in books don't usually give you the key for the correct usage of Russian. I've been working as a tutor of Russian (for natives, for foreigners, Rus. literature) since 2008 with different age groups. I've worked as a teacher at University, language courses, correction school. While working at the Pushkin Institute, I created the program of Academic Russian, which is useful if you're going to study in Russian universities. I can also effectively prepare you for the Russian language Certificate «TRKI», needed for studying, working or getting residence permits in Russia. Currently I teach Russian as a foreign language in Moscow State University. I've taught the directors in Russian departments of such well-known companies as Mitsubishi, Renault and Mastercard. They successfully passed C-1 level Certificate in Russian as a foreign language.Are you ready to master your Russian? Welcome! Read more
