Great first lesson, Maxim had materials printed and prepared. Everything was clearly explained. Highly recommend.
Alright!
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Maxim helped me a lot in the lecture to improve my french prononciation, which is my weak point. He was always quite patient and provided me important feedbacks so i can improve. For my specific question he even found better teaching material to explain. I really enjoyed all the lectures and am proud of the progress i could make with Maxim's help.
Church Slavonic: grammar, reading of medieval manuscripts and texts, history of religious literature; study of Orthodox liturgy; exegesis of the Holy Scriptures translated from Greek into Slavonic. Slavon de l'Eglise : grammaire, lecture des manuscrits et des textes médiévaux, correction de la prononciation, histoire de la littérature religieuse ; étude sur la liturgie orthodoxe ; exégèse des Saintes Ecritures traduites du grec en slavon.
Grammar, conversation and/or reading lessons to learn Dutch. Individual method for each student; all ages. Grammar, conversation and reading courses to learn Dutch. Individual method for each student; all ages.
I lived for almost 15 years in Paris (in a French family) and defended my doctoral thesis in philology and literature at the Sorbonne University. French became my first professional language and second native language. Passionate about the French language, I would like to share my experiences and teach you this beautiful language: - communication for daily life, - corrections of articles in French, - immersion in literature, - lots of other learning methods... I always adapt to your interests and goals!
Russian (native speaker): I offer lessons for all levels: grammar, conversation, litterature... Language is my passion. I obtained the degree of Doctor in the Faculty of Philology at the Sorbonne University, then a PhD in Classics at KU Leuven. In Russia I also got the pedagogical diploma. Currently I am doing my research on philology and palaeography in Glasgow University. I really like teaching the Russian language; we can tackle different aspects: communicating to travel, expressing in everyday life, but also reading literature, understanding the etymology and rapprochements of Russian with other languages. My method is complete immersion, structure and progression according to the rhythm of each student. I have all the necessary materials for the courses, but you can always bring your own textbooks. Feel free to contact me for any details!

Ancient Greek Grammar, Syntax, and Literature: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
My Ancient Greek class is fitting for learners at any level. Having studied Ancient Greek now for six years, not only in school but also at the Universities of Glasgow and Cambridge, I am extremely familiar with the language and its challenges. Using the Cambridge Reading Greek and Greek GCSE textbooks, adapted texts, and even "real" Greek literature where appropriate, I envisage Greek teaching and tutoring that focusses on the necessary aspects of grammar and rote language learning but supplements them with knowledge of Ancient Greek culture, history, and literature to make the language more alive and relevant. I am well-acquainted not only with the requirements of Greek learning at school, particularly for GCSEs, but also with the expectations of university Greek courses. A beginner will come to understand the fundamentals of the language, common vocabulary, and the "philosophy" that underlies grammatical forms and syntactical structures, an intermediate learner will come to grasp the more nuanced and trickier aspects of Greek grammar and reading, and an advanced learner will find confidence in reading Greek texts "in the wild" and the fluidity of translation and interpretation. Classes can be catered easily to the specific learning needs of any individual.

1st Class Cambridge Graduate – Latin & Ancient Greek Classes
Flexibility is central to my approach, and I will adapt our lesson plans to your specific needs and objectives. I have a deep knowledge of Latin and Greek linguistics, and offer tuition to all levels from Beginner, through GCSE and A-Level, up to those studying Classics at university. In our first lesson, we'll get to know each other and discuss your objectives and style of learning - I want to understand how you like to learn, what you find easy, and what you find difficult. And from there, we'll develop a well-prepared, interesting and valuable lesson plan. If learning a language is the scariest thing in the world to you, don't worry! I will always be a friendly, patient and devoted tutor. I have experience tutoring students in 4 different languages over the past 5 years. I understand the importance of sympathy and patience in teaching, and will always be able to slow down or speed up the course of learning as required. Latin and Greek are not easy, but with an experienced and friendly teacher, it can be a brilliant experience! I'm happy to run lessons of any length, and at any frequency. At various times in my life I've personally tried to learn almost 20 different languages (though Latin and Greek remain my favourites!), so I know very well how it feels to be staring at a page full of weird-looking words, and not have a clue where to start. Helping people to cut through the chaos, and see the wild beauty of complex languages like Latin and Greek, is one of the most satisfying feelings I've had through my years of tutoring both children and adults. My mission as a tutor will always be more than just to build your ability in these languages, it will be to build your love of them as well.
