RUSSIAN TUTORING:

Over the course of my teaching career, I've developed specialized programs tailored to different levels and objectives. These programs include Russian for Beginners, Survival Russian for Travelers, Russian for Kids, Russian for Advanced Learners, and a Business Russian Course.

Holding a philological education, I possess in-depth knowledge across various linguistic facets, including phonetics, phonology, lexicon, and more.

My lessons are meticulously planned, well-structured, and conducted with a professional approach, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

I offer Russian lessons for students ranging from A1 to C2 levels, catering to beginners through advanced learners.

Armed with a Master's degree in German language and translation, I bring a strong academic foundation to my German tutoring.

My research and diploma topic delved into "German dialects in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland," showcasing my expertise in German linguistics.

I have hands-on experience translating scientific German literature, adding a practical dimension to my language instruction.

I believe learning should be fun. I use many different kinds of teaching materials, exercises and technologies. Sometimes I use games and activities to help you learn in ways that don’t feel like studying. You learn faster and retain more when you enjoy your lessons!

My professional focus is on improving communication skills using fast-track and immersion (For rapid language learning progress in the shortest possible time!) techniques. The pace of my training is intensive and dynamic with focus on developing grammar, vocabulary, fluency and how to use the language in authentic situations.

MY LEARNING PLAN

I do a lot of work preparing for every lesson. I write lesson plans to guide each class and keep it focused on your learning goals. I will also teach you ways to integrate Russian, German into your daily life so you learn faster and more effectively.

Also, I have collected a lot of my own material and I can use this material to supplement a lesson or teach it by itself, if needed. I have always looked for new and creative ways to improve lessons and I continue to have the same desire in finding interesting ways of teaching Russian and German.

In general lessons include:

- Reading practice

- Proper grammar - tenses, conjugations, cases, genders

- Accurate pronunciation and accent reduction

- Vocabulary expansion/ conversation practice

- Developing oral speech.

I can change lessons plan depending on students level and purposes.

Deutsch

Mich zeichnet viel Motivation aus, denn Motivation ist der Schlüssel für einen guten Unterricht und das erfolgreiche Lernen. Das Motivieren der Studenten zu bessern Noten ist ein großer bestandteil meiner Lehraufgabe. Das Ziel meiner Nachhilfe ist, dass sich der Student selbst Lehrninhalte beibringen kann und selbstständig Lernen kann.

Meinen Unterricht richte ich ganz nach den Bedürfnissen der Studenten aus. Der Einsatz von bewährten Lehrmitteln, wie Büchern und Arbeitsblättern, sowie die moderne Variante über Internet sind bestandteil meiner Unterrichts. Mein Deutsch Unterrischt ist ganz kommunikativ, kreativ und spielerish.
