Business Russian - Russian Tutors & Teachers

Hello, everyone. If you want to study Russian language or want to practice it, you are welcome. I teach the Russian language from the very beginning - elementary (A1) - to higher levels. During my lessons I'm trying to reach the best balance between grammar, conversation and other aspects of the language. Unlike many other tutors, I minimised the so-called "verbal outrunning" - to practice new grammar you won't get exercises and texts with too many new words and structures that you don't understand yet. My own studying materials are well-balanced. I won't let you forget about things that we studied months ago, we will keep using previous grammar topics with new ones, words that you learnt before in new topics. New knowledge won't replace the old one, words won't go into the passive memory. My goal is to help you understand the system of the Russian language, so that you were not limited by phrases that you learn during the lesson, but could make your own sentences, express your thoughts. I practice different ways of making you speak - retelling texts from different perspectives, offering imaginary situaions, asking you many questions to help you understand what you hear and be able to react. To study grammar and new words, we'll be using my textbook (I will send you the pdf file) that contains examples and exercises I collected and created myself. We will pay enough attention to grammar, pronunciation, reading and speaking. I will explain you the way we, Russians, talk in our everyday life, because our foundations and manners differ from foreign ones. I'm 36 and I live in Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation. I've graduated from the University of Architecture and Construction in 2004, but later I took the course "Methods of teaching Russian as foreign language" at the International Centre of Russian language and got a certificate. I'll be happy to help you learn the Russian language. Feel free to contact me and ask any questions. I also teach children from 6 from the beginning, but not always and usually lessons are 30 minutes long (the price is lower). If you want your little CHILD to study Russian please CONTACT ME FIRST and we'll discuss everything in advance. P.S. If you want to book lessons, please, don't book a lesson right after or before another student's lesson, if possible, because usually I need some time to finish the previous lesson and prepare for the next one (just leave a 30 minutes gap). If you cannot do that, please understand that I'll be two minutes late to our lesson or I will have to finish it 2 minutes earlier. Thank you

Привет! Меня зовут Вика и я помогу тебе изучить русский язык. Hi! My name is Vika and I’d be happy to help you learn Russian. ______________________________________________________________________ WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE ME: First of all I’m a professional teacher and a native Russian language speaker. I taught already about 145 people (more that 2000 lesson). ______________________________________________________________________ WHAT YOU GET IN CLASS AND WHAT YOU PAY FOR: 1. You get all the materials for FREE. No need to pay for anything else besides lessons. My courses include presentations, reading, video and audio materials, online games and programs to learn the vocabulary. I built my programs all by myself because most of textbooks are just boring. 2. All my explanations of grammar is EASY. I teach only necessary active spoken language. Every lesson I speak with my students in different topics starting with family ending with politics and science. 3. I speak 4 languages (Hi! Guten Tag! Hola! Bonjour!) and I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language. I do my best to support my students and answer ALL their questions 24/7. Also my students say I’m funny :) 4. No time wasted. My lessons are filled with information and hard work to achieve the result. ______________________________________________________________________ WHAT MY STUDENTS AND I ALREADY ACHIEVED THIS YEAR: This year was very productive. 2 of my students applied for The Fulbright scholarship program, and both of them won the contest. Next January they are coming to Russia. They will spend 9 months here conducting their research. I prepared them for the interview in Russian language and gave recommendations as their teacher. They start learning from me as beginners, now they can live in Russia and do their own projects. I'm proud them so much! Another results of this year: 1. Another my student entered Middlebury Language School with the highest score in Russian this year. I helped her with tests and interviews as well. In the future she is planning to teach Russian in the universities herself. 2. More than 20 students already visited Russia and Ukraine as tourists after learning from me. Some of them found here their future spouses. With me you start talking in Russian from the very first lesson. 3. I help my students to reduce their accent and I also worked as accent trainer for an American TV show (the show was about spies). ______________________________________________________________________ So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start learning right now!

Привет! :D My name is Petr. I'm originally from Moscow, Russia, but I live in the U.S., so if you live in the Western Hemisphere, my schedule will work just great for you. I speak fluent English and am conversant in Spanish and German, so if you speak any of those languages, I will be happy to use them with you. I also speak and understand a little French and Arabic. I hold a bachelor's degree in languages from a university in Moscow, and a master's degree in Language Education from a university in the U.S. I also have experience teaching Russian and English as a Second Language (ESL) in both Russia and the U.S. I currently work in a university where I teach both these languages. Thank you for your interest - I look forward to seeing you in my classes! ;)
