About me - English
Hello! My name is Margarita. I am from Moscow (Russia). I am a native teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language.
I enjoy my job because it is very rewarding for me; it gives me the opportunity to help my students to learn the language they need. At the same time it gives me the pleasure of meeting new people and learning about other traditions as well as teaching about my own. The most gratifying feeling for every teacher is to see the progress of ones students, to encourage and help them to be successful.

Qualifications & Experience
I have been working teaching Russian for Foreigners for 7 years.
I graduated from Moscow State Pedagogical University with the specialisation 'Russian for Foreigners'. I have also got a Masters degree from the University of Friendship of Nations with the specialisation 'Russian as a Foreign Language'. In addition I attended a course in the ‘Methodology of Teaching Russian for Foreigners’ at Moscow State University.

Teaching Approach
I base lessons on your wishes and expectations of learning the Russian language. In my classes I use the communicative method. This means my students learn the language for everyday life and each class will help them feel more confident about communicating in Russian.You will learn grammar to be able to share your ideas in different situations. We will also train vocabulary and listening skills which are to help you to speak and understand better. I use a lot of pictures and contextual explanations, a lot of my own materials and handouts. I find creative approach really necessary teaching languages.
I speak English and Spanish. But the more we speak Russian the faster the process of learning is. Lessons via skype give a great variety of using Web resourses as well.
