I would be delighted to give lessons to determined learners, who are eager to build up their current knowledge or to start from scratch, and who are committed to achieving a certain level in a very short time, from elementary to higher advanced level. I believe that not every native speaker of a language can work as a tutor/teacher. Like any profession, it requires relevant qualifications, experience and dedication. I have had more than 10 years Russian language teaching in total. I have a profound understanding of grammar, both English and Russian, and I posses a so called %u2018sense of language%u2019, or high literacy. My husband is English and it%u2019s the language spoken in my home. It means I wouldn%u2019t have any difficulty to explain you complicated issues of Russian grammar in English, which is especially important for beginners. My professional focus is on improving conversational skills, using intensive speaking activities, discussions, developing grammar and vocabulary, the key phrases and expressions that can be used in real life situations. I believe I am a happy, well educated person with a rounded and relaxed approach to life, ready to take on any challenge. Over these years I was able to acquire knowledge and skills and to convey them successfully to other people.
