Andrey
Certified native Russian tutor based in Paris and available online
My name is Andrey and I’m a native Russian 🇷🇺 teacher living in Paris. My extensive experience allows me to vary my teaching styles. The communicative approach is the cornerstone of my teaching style but I also place a strong emphasis on pronunciation, especially when it comes to teaching Russian. For any language, I tend to select teaching materials that align with the student's personal or professional interests. Take a look at some of my reviews (not all of them are here) and let them paint the picture for you. In terms of my background, I have degrees in teaching French and English, and I've also studied legal translation and IT law. I've been immersed in language teaching for nearly 13 years now. My passion lies in both learning and teaching languages. I worked with English-speaking executives from various private and public institutions, including banks and government administrations. They all now speak Russian. I know how to quickly adjust to changes in teaching methods depending on your goals. Whether you’re looking to practice conversational Russian, improve your pronunciation, prepare for an exam or a job interview I’d be happy to help you.

We need to talk... Easy start for beginners. Interesting and popular and interesting for students уровня.
What makes my classes so special? 1. Values Comfort, speaking, pleasure. I'm convinced that in a safe and friendly environment, when students feel comfortable, their Russian finally blossoms: they begin to speak. And it's a true miracle. 2. Experience Working with students with different language goals allows me to tailor programs and lessons to each individual case. The variety of techniques and materials I use ensures that students never get bored. 3. Training What's the difference between a professional teacher and a non-professional one? A professional views the language as a system and knows exactly how to guide you smoothly and clearly. I can answer all your questions about Russian: why do we have cases? What are these exceptions? How do I memorize all these endings? In addition, I attend special courses and conferences every year to stay abreast of new trends, find inspiration, and discover new ideas.

Lana
Russian language, improving vocabulary and grammar, introducing Russian culture
Hi! I was born in Vietnam and raised in Russia that is why Russian is my first language. I have been tutoring for 3 years for children and adults. My Russian skills are higher than that of many others Russians, for example, I passed the Unified State Exam in Russia by 100/100 points. My English is at the B2-C1 level, I scored TOEFL for 90 and SAT for 1260, so there will be no problems with the language barrier. I will help you improve your vocabulary and grammar. If there are preferred topics, we can easily discuss them. I try to give interesting assignments at the classes in order to learn the material better. My goal is to make the student love my subject. It's easy to get along with me, all the students tell me how comfortable they feel while studying with me. Just try and you can enjoy it too! No matter at which level you are. What really matters is the willing of learning.

I'm focused not only on "technical" skills like grammar or syntax but also include a cultural aspect into my lessons and enjoy discussing the material with my students. The option of taking adults is also open for discussion.
