About me - English
I am a Russian who lives in Kenya. Being an expat, I know how it feels not to understand people around you. I am also very familiar with the frustration of learning a language by books or on the internet, when all this information is crushing in on you, when you have a lack of time for repetition and are unable to practice in-between classes.
Definitely, a committed tutor with whom you have got a "communication chemistry" will assist a lot in this process. I passed through the same issues like you - not being able to memorise simple words, struggling with pronunciation, forgetting even how to say, "my name is..." I promise, we will solve it together. We will find your way - what works best for you, how YOU can overcome the difficulties and so on.
Qualifications & Experience
I have a Master degree in International Journalism. Since university I have been working as a tutor of Russian language for foreigners. My students have been of different nationalities and had completely different reasons and purposes of studying (from pupils in school up to businessmen).
Teaching Approach
I prefer the natural style of teaching, I talk and see what are the difficulties, goals, which method is suiting more for this certain student. I advise a lot on other techniques for self-studying and self-helping. Actually I find it more pleasant, when the student is not afraid of "class" and looks on it like a another "chat with Katya" . He/She learns something new every time and eliminates previous mistakes.
