About me - English

Hello, if you here, it`s great, because you learn ( or planning or want) Russian language!😊

⭐I`m Olga and I`m a GREAT PROFESSIONAL TEACHER of Russian ( you can check this:-) and love teaching and , for sure, I can help you.

⏰ SUMMER DISCOUNTS : my prices`ll be higher in autumn, now I want to support people who wish to study Russian and suffer because of COVID-19 ( if you start now, prices for you will not be changed).

⭐ I`m a PhD HOLDER in Russian Language and a certified PROFESSOR of Russian for foreigners with a diploma from Saint-Petersburg State University and also, I know a couple alternative methods for learning languages ( they really work and they`re fun).

⭐PLUS, I`m a TRKI examiner ( Russian analogue for IELTS) and have 2 certificates.

⭐10 YEARS of teaching experience in total ( offline as well), 4 years abroad ( language school and centers), 6 years in Russian speaking countries ( language schools, universities, private classes).

✔️a FULLY QUALIFIED: PhD + 2 diplomas + 2 examiner`s certificates +2 programs on alternative teaching methods - I`m a REAL EXPERT in teaching Russian as a foreign language who KNOW how to help you

✔️EXPERIENCED teacher: already taught about 250 people + 5000 LESSONS (and it`s only online statistics for other platforms).

✔️with SPECIALIZATION IN RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE : no time wasted I know HOW to teach EFFECTIVELY and INTERESTINGLY

✔️a native Russian language speaker: you`ll get the REAL RUSSIAN ACCENT

✔️positive support: that`s true and essentially important!!!!!

✔️all materials FREE: you don`t pay for anything else besides lessons

We work TOGETHER to improve YOUR Russian.

I use English for my lessons ( or just Russian if you level B1+ and probably some English for Grammar explanations ), as well I continue my own learning of English and it`s really help me to understand challenges in foreign languages much-much better ( I`ve also started Spanish, wish me luck with it!).

You have a few options for Russian Courses depending on your goals, such as:

✔️Russian for Beginners - each class will be customized to the needs of the student, which will be discussed during the trial session or before the first class via messages. Some examples include basic sentences, greetings, talking about yourself, and daily life. I use a variety of materials including pictures, dialogues, audio and video.

This course will help you to build vocabulary and Grammar until you feel confident to start expressing yourself in Russian.

✔️Russian for Pre-Intermediate - Up -Intermediate levels - these lessons usually have three parts: questions from your homework and self-learning, an introduction and explanation of the new grammar and vocabulary, and a conversation to practice and integrate the new words and rules into speaking. Active spoken language and RELEVANT TOPICS with PRACTICAL GRAMMAR STRUCTURES - the main idea of this course.

The approach will be further adjusted based on your Russian level, learning style, short-term and long-term goals.

✔️Test preparation ( TORFL) for all levels ( A1-C2) - language examinations are not only about the language itself. It is crucial for us to learn how the exam is designed, what types of knowledge are tested, and by what criteria our Russian levels are evaluated. To pass the exam, we need to give the examiners exactly what they expect to read and hear from you. As a certified examiner, I for sure can help you with all parts of the exam. These lessons include exam preparation for speaking, grammar, listening, reading, writing.

✔️Russian for everyday conversations - conversations with incorporated grammar, corrections, and pronunciation. This lessons are for beginner to intermediate students and includes emphasis on speaking, so that when you arrive at your destination you will enjoy chatting to the people you meet and will feel comfortable asking for what you need. In a sixty-minute class, it would be something like 40 minutes of conversation with 10-15 minutes for corrections, feedback, and advice.

YOU TELL ME what types of lessons you need and I DO MY BEST to accommodate your requests.
