As a teacher with over 8 years of experience I’m extremely friendly, and truly interested in helping students make progress. I have a deep understanding of grammar, although I prioritize conversational skills and working towards the students’ specific goals. The resources I use are vast and updated, and include media blocks, Youtube channels, authentic materials, articles, diverse online platforms, and more. I love working with people of all ages and I am particularly good with adult beginners who want to learn Russian and German. From an emotional point of view, I’m very good at helping students overcome their fears and develop confidence through the process:)

Structure of lessons. My lessons include 3 parts:
1. Conversational improvisation (spontaneous speaking as an ice-breaker)
2. ?orrection of assignments: grammar, listening, videos, reading (depending on the student's needs)
3. Presentation an learning the material

The structure depends on the student's specific goals. We can prepare for international exams, for job interviews, working in German, stays in German-speaking countries, speaking to relatives and friends or simply become more fluent in the language.
