🌄 Kids, exam preparation, high levels, and beginners are welcome.🚀 I like using modern teaching techniques and building well-structured and engaging lessons. I stick to the 9 classical principles of education: gaining attention, informing the learner of the objective, stimulating recall of prerequisite learned capabilities, presenting the stimulus material, providing learning guidance, eliciting the performance, providing feedback, assessing, enhancing retention, and transfer to the job. The last one is the most important! Я использую новые педагогические методы, но не отказываюсь от классических приёмов, чтобы мои студенты начали свободно и правильно говорить по-русски. Я люблю русский язык и показываю его красоту и богатство ученикам.

Being a native russian and kazakh speaker which are two really different languages from different language families I have got not only knowledge, but also sense of what might be a problem spot for most of my students. Also knowing other languages like English, Korean, Japanese and others let me be more productive with the students. I am very patient with students, but I am also a demanding teacher (in a good sense).

Polyglot / language lover / book a lesson - we will have lots of fun learning =) My first teaching experience was long time ago, when I was a substitute teacher of martial arts. That time I really enjoyed teaching so I decided to learn how to teach languages since I have always liked them. So I got a degree in Linguistics, afterwards I got some certificates in Teaching approach (including world famous CELTA). That time my foreign friends asked me to help them with their Russian and that was how my "Russian Teaching Path" started =) I have 5 years of teaching experience. I have been teaching small/large groups, one-to-one classes and via Skype. Moreover I have experience in teaching groups of international students in Ireland.

Russian, English and German Lessons with Maria -> is a challenge, so if you need some extra-motivation, I cannot help you. I teach without camera because I want to focus on teaching / learning, but I am free to talk and discuss many topics with you. Another thing: if you feel a teacher should pursue you, if you are not interested in learning yourself, but you think some magic might happen, unfortunately, I cannot help. I can help only people who want to study and just search for a teacher to get more explanation, understand some details, have mistakes corrected (and I do that). I teach lessons the way I consider best, in my opinion, so you should be ready it may be different from a perfect teacher's lesson plan. ;) However, I am ...

My students often say that I'm very patient and systematic :) I've been teaching Russian since 2014. Although my teaching experience started a long time ago, I still find teaching a deeply creative process and a practice of being in the moment. I have a bachelor's degree in pedagogy and a good knowledge of teaching methods. I've been trained to give professional lessons in teaching Russian at Moscow state university. I always prepare my lessons in details but I can easily improvise as well! Recently I have developed and given the course on teaching Russian as a foreign language to other language teachers. It helped me even more to optimize and clarify the approach that grew out of my practice.

Systematic approach, well structured lessons I apply a classical, structured approach to help you master Russian. My lessons cover all 5 key components of language: listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. I use modern Russian textbooks, my professional expertise, and authentic materials from Russian media to create a comprehensive learning experience. While I guide and support you throughout the process, remember: LEARNING IS NOT FREE—YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION! Your progress depends on your investment of time and effort. The more you put in, the faster and more successfully you’ll improve. My lessons are structured, clear, and engaging, using systems and visual aids. Together we make great progress in Russian!

Делаю трудное лёгким 😉 tu tutora de confianza *работаю со студентами и школьниками от 13 лет Говорят, что я спокойный, терпеливый человек. Я показываю, что иностранные языки - это интересно. 🚀 Обожаю превращать сложные правила в простые истории и по-дружески беседовать о путешествиях, книгах, фильмах, животных, еде или науке. Soy una persona paciente. Creo que los errores son una parte del proceso de aprendizaje. Y además pienso que aprender idiomas puede ser entretenido. I will help you to speak Russian! You should know that I am not fluent in English. I think it’s not a problem, because my goal is to make you speak Russian!

Check out my reviews on my profile page! They are the most honest representation of my classes :) As a teacher, my goal will be to make all the processes easier for you. I understand a language as a system, so you just need to understand the logic of this system and then practice it. We'll do lots of exercises, and of course practice lots of SPEAKING. Also during our lessons I'm trying to reach the best balance between grammar, vocabulary, and reading. It can be both formal and informal lessons. ! Cancelation policy! If you ask to reschedule more than 24 hours before our lesson, we'll just reschedule. If you don't show up without a notification it counts as a lesson. Thanks for understanding.
