Hello, my name is Sergey. I am 36 years old, Russian is my native language . I have more than 10 years of experience in teaching, including my... current job at KubSTU as senior lecturer at the Department of Russian Language. Every year I give classes to 500-1000 students, including foreigners from Africa, Asia and Europe. As a Russian language teacher, I have been teaching classes for over 5 years and working with students from different countries and different ages. I have a special book from my university on the study of the Russian language, which is suitable for different levels, as well as videos, quizzes and other methods. We can discuss, if necessary, almost any specific terminology in conversational topics or vocabulary, because I have many friends in different fields. I always approach each person individually and rejoice at his success in learning Russian, it gives me strength and energy for further work. I always carefully monitor the student's reaction to the material being studied, give him the opportunity to speak out, and then tactfully correct him, re-discussing difficult points. During the lesson, we switch to another form of presentation of the material if I see that the student is tired or lacks patience, perseverance. Here, of course, everything depends on the age of the student and his abilities. At the end of the lesson, I explain the homework in detail and give practical examples of the material in various forms, taking into account the goals of language learning, professional skills and other features. I also take into account how much time a student can spend on homework See you in the class! Read more

“I need to learn Russian because I work with Russians a lot, but many of them don’t speak English”. “I often go to Russia for work, but... it’s so hard to move around on my own! I don’t understand anything and I feel helpless”. “I’ve been studying Russian for a while now, but I still can’t speak. I need more practice in conversation”. “I’m studying Russian at college, but I need help to get ready for the exam”. Do you recognize yourself in any of these statements? These are some typical things that I hear from people who come to my lessons. People study Russian for all sorts of reasons. Whatever your needs are, I’m here to help you. If you have never studied Russian, after my lessons you will be able to: - read that mysterious Russian alphabet and understand a lot of Russian words, because, once the code has been cracked, they appear to be very similar to English; - learn and use simple phrases of everyday use to communicate with Russians from the very start; - understand Russian native speakers thanks to the use of authentic audio and video materials, - write simple messages and emails in Russian; - read simple texts and find the information you need even if you don’t understand every single word. If you have already studied Russian and have some command of the language, you will be able to: - improve your grammar; - speak in Russian on different topics and gain fluency; - write different types of texts (from text messages and greeting cards to presentations and essays); - read and listen to different authentic texts suitable for your linguistic level, and improve your comprehension skills; - discover the fascinating world of the Russian culture, from history and traditions to life in modern Russia. Studying a new language opens a new world. Studying Russian opens the door not just to the Russian world, but also to other countries where Russian is widely spoken and understood, like Belarus, Ukraine, or Kazakhstan. Moreover, if you know Russian, it will be easier to study other Slavic languages, too. So, why choose me as your Russian teacher? Here are some good reasons: - I am a native speaker of Russian; - I have more than 10 years of experience as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language and more than 20 years of teaching foreign languages in general; - I’m very patient and I adapt my teaching style to the needs and the level of my students; - I use a lot of authentic materials and I never limit myself to just one textbook; - I can explain grammar in your language; - with me, you can practice Russian in a friendly and stimulating environment, without any fear of mistakes.

At our first meeting, we’ll be able to get to know each other, I will learn about your needs and skills, together we will prepare your lesson plan, determine the goals and choose appropriate materials.

My students are people of different age groups from different countries: USA, Canada, Switzerland, Finland, Germany, France, Italy and others. Other Details As a result of our long experience working with foreigners we have been able to gather all the best practices from different methods of language teaching, then using real life situations, we have come up with our own unique study material. This approach is based on over a few decades of experience using Russian and Western specialists in foreign language teaching. It is a method which is universal, it is suitable for anyone regardless of their mother tongue. Our method combines the lexical and communicative approaches. This does not mean we neglect grammar teaching; it means that grammar structures are presented and acquired in realistic situations. All the examples, conversations and texts in our book are authentic, taken from real life and carefully selected according to students’ needs. Most importantly all our materials represent the living modern Russian language. Read more
