About Me

My name is Jannes. I was born and raised in Flanders. I studied translation at the University of Antwerp and graduated with highest honors. I’m specialised in Russian and Dutch. After graduating I started my studies at the conservatory of Leuven, where I studied the violin. In addition, I’ve been playing the piano for about 15 years. Currently, I’m specialising in classical singing as a countertenor.

Teaching is something that I reall enjoy. I guess it comes from my willingness to help people. I love to see people motivated and eager to learn and exchange knowledge and skills. I have worked as a language teacher for several private schools before and have given violin lessons in the past as well.

I’m very flexible in terms of what a learning process should look like, since everyone is different. Having mutual trust and being comfortable with each other is also very important to me.

Education

Bachelor in applied languages, University of Antwerp
Master in translation, University of Antwerp and Moscow State Linguistic University (exchange programme)
Bachelor in music, Violin, LUCA School of Arts (current study)

Experience / Qualifications

5 years of intensive language and translation training from different teachers in Belgium and Russia
Immersive Russian course in Ryazan
Experience in teaching Dutch to beginners, intermediate and advanced learners

Playing the violin is something many people dream of. Would you like to discover how to play this beautiful instrument? Have you played the violin in your childhood? Let us face the music and play! I’m a conservatory student who has experience with teaching at a beginner and intermediate level. We will go through the basics of technique, getting to know the instrument, etc., so you can find your own voice.

Thanks to its rich sound and endless possibilities, piano has become one of the most played instruments. Do you also like the sound of this instrument, but no idea where to start? I’m here to help you with the basics. I’m a conservatory student (violin) who has played piano at an intermediate level for several years now. I speak Dutch, English, Russian and basic French.

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.

If you are serious about getting really good at Russian, your next step is simple: Sign up for the entire course! Se hai una idea seria di migliorare il russo, il tuo next step è semplice: iscriviti il corso! 🇮🇹 Le lezioni in cui si articola il corso intero seguono la struttura > - Dialoghi che sviluppano una abilità di costruire descrizioni, comparatività, spiegazioni e così via : ascolto e pratica come parlare meglio. - I materiali didattici e l'approcio sono organizzati per lo studio del russo in molti situazioni sociali: inviti, suggerimenti, conversazioni riguardo a film o musica, etc. - Grammatica d'uso: la teoria degli argomenti neccessari e adeguati al'livello del studente, gli esercizi vari durante la lezione e come compito. - Gli esercizi con l'approccio di farti pensare in russo. - Molto di più! 2. RUSSIAN for KIDS This original course is designed to develop spoken Russian in bilingual children. If your child was born abroad or moved to a non-Russian-speaking country at an early age, and you wish for them to speak, read, and write in Russian, and communicate freely with you, friends, and relatives — then this course is for you. I use play-based methods for teaching writing, including for complete beginners. To make the most of these lessons, I recommend that you provide your child with a writing/drawing tablet and a Russian-language keyboard (or Cyrillic stickers for the keys). To develop both dialogue and monologue speech, we will work with materials from Russian folklore as well as everyday topics tailored to your child's interests and goals. Each lesson is fully personalized, and the overall language development plan is carefully coordinated with you, the parent. The course also involves a significant amount of independent work, both autonomously and with parental participation. If you're looking for a meaningful and educational way for your child to spend the summer — this course is for you!
