Fun Spanish lessons for kids and adults with songs, cartoons and movies

19 € /h

Hello, my name is Kateryna. I will be glad to become your Spanish teacher. I also speak and can teach Ukrainian, Russian, English and Dutch :) I like to learn new things, especially languages. And also to share knowledge and study methods. I write poems and prose, draw abstractions. I believe in the perfection of the world and a bright future.

I have 3 years of experience as a teacher:
1 year of experience teaching Spanish online;
2 years of experience in private online English lessons;
7 months of offline English language teaching experience for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands.

Interesting and fun Spanish lessons for children and adults who remain children at heart.

We watch cartoons, listen to songs, read poetry and prose. We analyze what is happening there, we speak out loud a lot, put pronunciation, do interesting exercises. We also sing a lot - because this is the best way to learn a new language.

I also arrange a practice with a native Ecuadorian. I myself lived in Ecuador and Spain for a long time, and I practice using the language with native speakers every day.

Russian literature is captivating, complex, beautiful... But also essential for understanding Russian language, culture and even its current situation. As Yevtushenko said, "In Russia a poet is more than just a poet". And this is why learning more about Russian literature is essential. As a scholar in the area of Russian studies, I've written quite a few articles on that matter, and I'm happy to share my expertise with you!

Teaching Russian is both natural and motivating for me, as it is my native language. I already have solid experience in teaching languages remotely and I particularly enjoy supporting students in their progress, adapting lessons to their objectives and pace.
Joining a language school would allow me to get involved in a structured professional environment, to share my passion for languages and to continue to develop my teaching skills.

Hello!

My name is Julia.

I am a native Russian speaker and a professional teacher with a pedagogical background and experience in an international environment. I currently live and work in Ghent, where I teach Russian to bilingual children at a school.

I understand the specific needs of children growing up in a multilingual environment: how to maintain their interest in the language, expand their vocabulary, and develop both their oral and written skills. In my lessons, I focus not only on language skills but also on the cultural context, so that students can maintain their connection with the Russian language and culture.

I teach both online and offline in Ghent. Lessons are adapted to the student's age, level, and goals—whether it's speaking skills, supporting bilingualism, preparing for school, or deepening their language skills.

During my lessons, I create a warm and supportive atmosphere in which students feel confident and motivated. My goal is not just to explain the material but to make real progress and develop a love for the language.

I'd be happy to help you or your child learn Russian!

• Russian for work in tourism, logistics, and export
• Reading literature, watching films, and cultural immersion

My name is Hanna, and I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is to love what I teach and those to whom I teach.

The first class is devoted to identifying your level of Russian language proficiency.

With my students, I work on
1) listening comprehension,
2) correct pronunciation,
3) reading comprehension,
4) expansion of vocabulary,
5) learning grammar,
6) elimination of letter-by-letter reading,
7) mirror writing (N-И, R-Я) (with children).

I am an extreme opponent of cramming and learning something that is not useful to you in everyday life and day-to-day conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential.

I will help you to fall in love with Russian and to make progress day by day 😊

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.
