Certified Russian Tutor: Breaking the language barriers!

From 29 $ /h

Hi, would you like to learn Russian without stressing too much about grammar? Do you want to start speaking Russian and break the language barrier? I can help you with that!

My classes are student-oriented, which means I will build our learning plan according to your needs or wishes. I have a variety of learning materials and books that we can use depending on your level. I follow the strategy of learning language through immersion in it and active practice. So during our classes, we will have time to both practice conversation skills as well as touch the most important grammar aspects.

I am looking forward to having classes with you!

About Me

I am a linguist fascinated by learning languages. I speak fluently Russian, English, and Swedish, have some intermediate knowledge of Spanish, and basic skills in Norwegian, Icelandic, Finnish, and Danish. I lived for one year in Peru and learned Spanish there, and I can say that I fell in love with the cultures of Latin America. Now I'm starting to learn Dutch, because I live in the Netherlands, and before that I spent many years in Finland.

I started living abroad a long time ago, but I love Russian language and culture and I feel that I want to bring it with me anywhere I go and to show it to the world. In my classes I enjoy sharing different experiences about life in Russia, talking about traditions, customs and history of Russia, as well as literature. In addition to that I like to explore etymology of Russian vocabulary and discuss it with my students.

One of my students said once, that "language is like a city, made of buildings and districts, institutions and facilities, interconnected by streets and wires". Learning a language is not just learning some separate words and phrases, it is building the whole system of inner communications that language has with grammar, pronunciation and syntax. That is what I try to do during my classes - help my students to build understanding of the Russian language in its complex system while learning how to use it and not to be afraid to make mistakes.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Swedish teaching and a Master’s degree in Nordic Languages, and I have 2 years of experience helping beginners feel comfortable and confident in Swedish.

I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

For over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.

Hi everyone! My name is Ksyusha, and I'm here to prove that the Russian language can be cool and modern. I have 3 years of experience working with students from different corners of the world (England, America, Germany, France, China, Turkey, Canada, and other countries), and I definitely know how to explain complex things in simple words and find the right approach for different people.

I have a bachelor's degree from the Russian university "Voenmeh" with a degree in Linguistics. So I truly understand how the languages work.
My second degree is a Pedagogical one (Peter the Great University, "Polytech"), which means I am familiar with modern teaching methods and approaches in education.

It's easy and fun to communicate with me. We will use and practice the language from the very first lesson. Making mistakes is completely normal, that’s why I will always support you and explain things as many times as needed. Let's get to know each other and learn Russian together!

I'm here to help you learn English or Spanish :) I adapt to any need you may have; whether you need my help for exams, language certification exams, homework, or simply because you want to improve your English or Spanish skills for work or everyday life.
