Deep dive into the Russian literature with your Slavic studies professor!

Àpd 66.46 C$ /h

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!

Présentation

Hi there and welcome! My name is Vladimir, and I'm here to make your journey in learning Russian easier and more enjoyable!

I live and work in Belgium, but I was born in the USSR, so I’m both a native speaker and a seasoned linguist. I hold a PhD in Slavic Studies and East European Studies, which I earned at KU Leuven in Belgium.

For many years, I’ve taught students at some of the most prestigious universities in Europe, and I’ve had the pleasure of working (and still do!) at my alma mater, KU Leuven, the Brussels Diplomatic Academy, and the College of Europe. But what I love most is teaching – seeing motivated students achieve their goals!

Whether your aim is professional growth or personal development, I will guide you step by step through the beauty (and complexities!) of the Russian language.

Conversational Russian - let's learn how to actually speak!

63.22 C$ /h

You already learned quite some grammar but your missing piece of the puzzle is that you struggle to actually talk?
Then these practical sessions are for you! We'll learn how to keep the conversation up, and I'll point at the most common mistakes and teach you how to be fluent!

As Fritz Mauthner believed, language can only exist when it is used!

So let's talk!

Kick-start your Russian language with a Slavonic studies professor!

66.46 C$ /h

In our lessons, we’ll go beyond grammar and vocabulary together: you’ll get to know the culture, history, and real face of modern Russian society. My goal is to make the language come alive so that you can not only speak it but also feel it.
My teaching method is based on a personalized approach: every student is unique! That’s why I tailor each class to your individual goals and ensure that we can achieve them together – quickly and effectively!

I take into account your learning style and type of intelligence: some are interested in grammar in its almost mathematical form, others learn best through spontaneous conversation and cultural context, while some are very visual... Together, we’ll find the approach that makes learning the most enjoyable and effective.
I believe that learning a language is a personal journey, and I’m here to help you on yours!

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Hello! I'm an Italian high school teacher and published writer with a strong academic background in Literature and Languages, studied across Italy, the UK, and France. I have extensive experience tutoring students of all ages and levels, and I bring both a structured and culturally rich approach to each lesson.
My classes are personalized to suit the individual needs, goals, and current level of each student. Typically, a lesson is divided into two parts:

- Grammar & Language Structure – I teach grammar interactively using a textbook as a guide, alongside custom exercises that I prepare based on each student’s progress and needs.

- Conversation Practice – We dedicate time to speaking and listening, helping students become more confident and fluent in real-life communication.

For intermediate and advanced learners, I enrich lessons with insights into the evolution of the Italian language, drawing connections to Latin roots and Italian literature. I also weave in elements of Italian culture—from regional expressions to literary references—to make the learning experience more immersive and enjoyable.

Whether you're learning Italian for travel, study, work, or personal interest, I’ll help you reach your goals with a method that is both rigorous and inspiring.

Je suis correctrice du bac, j'enseigne en lycée depuis 15 ans.
Je propose un accompagnement en 3 phases, qui s'adapte aux besoins de chaque élève, mais ne laisse pas de place au hasard.

1 => Une 1ère séance de DIAGNOSTIC : points forts sur lesquels s'appuyer/ points à améliorer. Ce diagnostic est, en lui-même, un outil pour progresser, raison pour laquelle cette première séance est payante.

2 => Un PROGRAMME personnalisé de travail est élaboré, et proposé dès la deuxième séance. Des OBJECTIFS réalistes sont définis.

3 => Une EVALUATION est réalisée à la 5ème séance, pour évaluer la progression au regard des objectifs.
Des critères transparents, liés aux attentes du programme sont employés, mais le 'ressenti' de l'élève pourra aussi être pris en compte.
Un réajustement des méthodes et la suite du programme sont proposés en fonction des résultats.

Le bac de français n'est pas difficile : il s'agit de comprendre les attentes de l'examen. Méthode et entraînement permettent une remise à niveau, ou des progrès rapides..
(ECRIT : commentaire ou dissertation / ORAL : Explication linéaire + entretien sur oeuvre).

Rappel : les notes du bac de français sont déterminantes dans les dossiers PARCOURSUP, quelle que soit le choix d'orientation Post bac.
____ ____ ____ ____ __
Possibilités supplémentaires :
- BACS BLANCS ECRITS, correction de copies.
- ORAUX 'TYPE BAC', entraînements conformes à l'examen.
- STAGES INTENSIFS***, possibles pendant les vacances.

Latin, along with Greek, was one of the major languages of culture in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and up until the modern era, particularly in theology and philosophy. It is the language of ancient Rome, but also of the Western Catholic Church, medieval Christianity, theology, and philosophy. It is the language of Plautus, Ennius, Virgil, Cicero, Seneca, Tacitus, Apuleius, Lucretius, Ovid... but also of Perpetua, Tertullian, Egeria, Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, Gregory the Great, Hrotsvita, Bernard of Clairvaux, Angela of Foligno, Francesco Petrarca, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz...
I will help you discover, or better understand and appreciate, this vast and fascinating linguistic and cultural universe. We will work methodically and progressively on the language and texts.

Je propose des cours de français en ligne destinés aux élèves du collège et du lycée qui souhaitent améliorer leur compréhension des textes et développer leurs compétences en expression écrite et orale.
Je suis doctorante en littérature comparée, profondément passionnée par la littérature, et mon objectif est de transmettre cet amour des œuvres aux élèves tout en les aidant à réussir leurs examens.
Durant les séances, nous travaillons sur :
– la compréhension des œuvres intégrales
– l’analyse des textes littéraires
– les méthodes de rédaction (réponses argumentées, commentaire, dissertation)
– la préparation aux examens (contrôles, régional, bac)
Ma méthode consiste à rendre les œuvres plus accessibles et intéressantes, afin que les élèves puissent comprendre les enjeux des textes et prendre confiance dans leur capacité à analyser la littérature.
Les cours se déroulent à distance, dans une atmosphère sérieuse mais bienveillante, adaptée au rythme et aux besoins de chaque élève.

Bonjour,

Reconnue pour mon très grand investissement, mon expérience et mon approche bienveillante mais exigeante, je propose du soutien en français/littérature, une discipline que j'affectionne depuis toujours.

Que ce soit pour reprendre les bases en orthographe/grammaire/conjugaison, améliorer la compréhension et l'analyse de texte, s'exercer à la dissertation ou aider aux examens (brevet, bac), je sais m'adapter à des profils et des besoins variés.

Les cours que je propose se font à distance, un format qui me permet d'accompagner aussi bien les élèves scolarisés que ceux qui sont dans des situations non conventionnelles (CNED, en apprentissage autonome/candidat libre).

J'ai à cœur de donner des cours interactifs et vivants, aussi je m'adapte vraiment à vos besoins et nous discutons ensemble du planning et des points à aborder !
