Russian as second language. Learn how to speak in Russian to a high standard

Hello Everyone,
I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia and moved to the UK in 2018.
At my classes I love coaching my students through talking to them about interesting topics and setting challenging tasks and ambitious goals for them. I really enjoy setting stretching targets for my students and helping them achieve their goals whether it is working abroad, moving to a Russian-speaking country or exams.
The most important thing for me as a teacher is to see my students speak. When we do speaking exercises, I usually write my students’ mistakes down in order to discuss them later. This way of correcting mistakes makes my students more relaxed because they are not interrupted while they are speaking.
Over the years I have developed and fine tuned my own 9 point plan to make our classes more effective. The 9 point plan includes:
• Speaking the language you learn every lesson
• Listening to engaging audio materials
• Learning how practical grammar works and how locals use it
• Expanding vocabulary every lesson
• Learning correct sentence building
• Reading fluently and confidently
• Learning how to communicate the way that locals do
• Learning to pronounce like the locals
• Building confidence in all the above using discussions and role-plays

Education

Pedagogical college of Nekrasov N.A. - 2008 (teacher of English as a second language)
Lomonosov Moscow State University - October 2019 (teacher of Russian as a second language)

Experience / Qualifications

Throughout my practice I’ve had lots of students who didn’t feel comfortable enough when speaking a foreign language. In order to help them to overcome their fear, I try to create a relaxing and friendly atmosphere.
If my students are not comfortable in groups, they are always welcome to have individual classes instead where they will feel comfortable.

Chinese (Mandarin), English, Russian classes in Amsterdam area
Hello everyone! I'm a professional teacher in different areas that include languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, Russian. I have been teaching for about 10 years since I started my bachelor’s degree in Chinese studies and world literature in Ukraine. I have also worked as an early childhood educator in Shanghai for over 3 years. I love to work with children of different ages. I like to imply Friedrich Froebel's educational method, when children construct their understanding of the world through direct experience of it in play (free self-activity, creativity, social participation and motor expression). I have experience in both kindergarten and home education. I have also given Russian classes to adults and I can prepare all the necessary materials for you based on your level, but you can also provide your own materials. The courses cover the following areas: general language, oral language, reading and writing. On request: world literature and creative writing, scientific writing, Chinese calligraphy. My background: Bachelor's in Chinese and World Literature (Ukraine) Master’s in Media & News (China) Master’s in Art (Germany)

Discover the Russian language and the culture of the country
Do you want to study Russian as a foreign language for work or study? for everyday life or just for fun? You are then in the right place. I will help you to be among the speakers of the eighth most spoken language in the world. My lessons have been designed to give you a broad knowledge of the language, and include the four main disciplines of language learning: reading, writing, speaking and listening. I consider it important to keep the balance between practice and theory during the course for that the geography, the culture, the traditions, the civilization of Russia are an integral part of the courses. NB: On average a student can acquire an A1 basic level in Russian in 6 months, this duration can be reduced if they take intensive courses. Face-to-face lessons mainly take place at the teacher's home.

Learn the Russian language, its alphabet, how to pronounce letters, and know the grammatical rules of the language, which are the basic factor for mastering it.
Russian requires a deep understanding of grammar, especially grammatical cases. Learning grammar is mandatory in order to speak Russian fluently. By focusing on understanding the rules and practicing the exercises, the learning process will become easier. It will enable you to improve your reading level and facilitate the communication process.

Russian Language A1 - C2 / Русский язык и литература
Hi All, thank you for checking out my course. This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul. I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work. You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

Margarita
French/Français/Французский для любого уровня. Russian/Russe pour les francophons. Les langues, c'est simple comme bonjour!
Если ты хочешь наконец ЗАГОВОРИТЬ на французском, срочно читай описание моего профиля и начинай заниматься! Как проходят уроки со мной: Работаем по коммуникативной методике (на уроке ты много говоришь, а дома закрепляешь упражнениями по грамматике и лексике) Что получишь: из материального - учебники в формате pdf из нематериального - хороший разговорный уровень французского Почему нужно работать со мной? Все просто, - я работаю на результат. (Результаты моих студентов - это их успешно сданные экзамены и комфортная жизнь во франкоговорящей среде) До какого уровня ты можешь выучить язык со мной: от 0 до С2 (да, есть студенты с подтвержденными сертификатами на С2, с которыми мы начинали без знания языка) Ты хочешь заговорить на французском? Со мной ты заговоришь. Практически с первого-второго урока (если уровень 0). Направления по которым я работаю: - интенсивное изучение языка (для выезда за границу и жизни там); - язык «для себя» Провожу индивидуальные занятия, занятия в мини-группах (2-3 человека) со взрослыми, опыт обучения французскому всей семьи - взрослые и дети; занятия по Zoom (1-4 чел) Использую коммуникативные методики преподавания как основу (вы заговорите уже со 1-2го урока); +огромная медиатека (язык будет учить интересно и не скучно!) Занятия до уровня В1 – по Taxi (как основной учебник) + дополнительные материалы в виде учебника по грамматике, статей, видео и т.п. Занятия B2 - C2 - индивидуально разработанная программа, которая "апдейтится" под каждого студента (основа - реальная пресса, видео, продвинутая грамматика, изучение нюансов) Обучаю ЖИВОМУ/повседневному языку (а не правильно литературному), на момент уровня В2 вы сможете читать статьи, слушать и понимать новости и фильмы, читать книги современных авторов Подготовка к сдаче международных экзаменов DELF, DALF, TEF, TCF; Подготовка к прохождению иммиграционных интервью (Канада, Квебек), сдаче теста TEFaQ.
