Russian in person by a native. Learn or improve in English\German.

Hey hey! You've clicked here - means you're on your way to learn or to improve your Russian skills with a native! Surely the task isn't easy at any point, but it's surely rewarding and fun (though sometimes in some masochistic ways, haha). I'm NOT a professional teacher, but helping friends and peers with some skills that I possess works pretty good for me, in my honest opinion.
With me you'll learn Russian in a more playful and intuitive form, allowing you to think less of the grammar and spelling rules and to juggle with it easily. I'll introduce you all of the greatest cultural niches and nuances, books and songs, films and memes. I prefer to do in person classes with the place chosen by a student, though i don't negate online possibilities. I'm ready to work with English and German speaking students of all ages :3.

About Me

A Russian native living in Amsterdam at the moment, though I tried to live in multiple countries in span of recent years: Germany, Italy, Bulgary. Decided to settle in for at least several years in the Netherlands as I've found a good bachelor's programm here which could supplement my previous degree.
Until recently I haven't realised that people often come to me with some tutoring asks, so I've decided to try to teach a language I'm genuinely fascinated with. In teaching people remark my calmness above other things - I feel never frustrated if someone struggles with any concept, as it's highly natural to do so. Among others ability to describe things in multiple ways is also one of my strengths, so hopefully I'll be able to explain anything in a clear and student-oriented way.

Education

Russian State Medical University (past). I've studied there for 6 years and now I'm in a process of diplom confirmation in the EU.
HvA Physiotherapy (in moment). It helps me to diverse a bit in the medical and wellness fields, as well as with other diploma confirmation.

Experience / Qualifications

English and German on C1 level.
Have been studying English since 5 years old, visited both English and American language camps. I'm especially proud of my German studies - managed to get to C1 level with practically 6 months of studies in Berlin, which became one of my most beloved cities.

English Tutoring with Holistic Approach for All Levels
English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills. Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid. In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals. Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Personal Training Amsterdam or Online, Lose Weight or Get Stronger
In the Introduction class I will first have a conversation with you to see if there is a connection and if I can help you achieve your goals. Think of goals like losing weight, gaining muscle mass or feeling fitter. Then I will make a movement analysis to see where you are at this moment. We will also do a little sports.

Mastering emotions: Learn to recognize, manage, and express emotions confidently
Emotions are powerful. They can uplift us, motivate us, and bring us closer to others, but they can also overwhelm, frustrate, or hold us back. Whether you're a child navigating big feelings or an adult managing daily stress, emotional regulation is the key to a healthier, happier life. In this class, we’ll explore practical techniques to understand, express, and manage emotions in a positive way. Through interactive exercises, real-life strategies, and mindful practices, you'll gain the tools to stay calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and build stronger relationships. Are you ready to take control of your emotions instead of letting them control you? Let’s get started!

Learn or develop your French (French Course)
I am a French student in computer engineering doing an internship in Amsterdam. I propose French lessons to learn or develop your French. I do not speak Dutch but I speak English fluently, so classes can be done in English or French.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
