Conversational English for Russian Native Speakers

A native Russian speaker, I have obtained all my education in English, starting with high school. My goal in this class is to help those who still feel shaky or unsure about their conversational English or who just wants to start practicing their speaking.

We can talk about anything you would like. I can help with preparation for a speaking exam or train you for your next trip abroad - let me know what your needs are and we can work towards your goals or just have a nice chat for you to practice your social skills in another language.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching privately and in groups for over 4 years. I have experience with different kinds of age groups, from school pupils to university students and working professionals.
I am a native Russian speaker and I have been giving Russian language classes to all sorts of international students for a while. I am an incredibly passionate language learner myself, so I love discovering all kinds of ways to share my love for languages with those curious about one of the allegedly hardest languages. (Spoiler: it is not that scary!) I teach at every level, tailoring the materials and curriculum to the student's individual needs - we can learn the alphabet together or have deep philosophical discussions, just let me know what you need.
