Russian language classes from a native speaker: grammar + practice

From 18.76 Fr /h

Hey there! I am a native Russian speaker (though don't seem to be one :) ). I do NOT have experience in tutoring the Russian language, however, I've always given advice and lessons to my friends and siblings for their Russian classes — no secret Russian language can be no chill sometimes even for native speakers! I am very strong in Russian grammar and was representing my school at the Olympiads for the Russian language. I do NOT have a specific program or technique of teaching but am willing to share my knowledge and adapt to your preferences!

Hey there! Get ready to jump into the world of Italian with me – Roberta- your go-to person for Italian language (yes, including hand gestures!)

I have a background in diplomacy and international relations but a deep love for communications and languages.
My classes are tailored to your needs.
We do an assessment during the first chat and then we choose together the right method: classes with a mix of audio, and video lessons and or just a lot of conversation covering phrases, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. And guess what? It's not just learning; if you come to my house it's a blast through Italian food too! :)

By the end, you'll be rocking phrases like "Supercalifragilistichespiralidoso" and tossing around Italian words like a pro.
🎉 Ci vediamo presto!

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Knowledge of Italian is useful in and of itself; but it is also essential for the study of other fields like history, literature, music, art, business, economics, and political science. So, whether you want to learn how to order your own "gelato" in Rome, improve your knowledge of Italian grammar, or broaden your horizons through study and analysis of literature, by exposing yourself to a different culture, this is the course for you!

In class, we will speak Italian as much as possible to help you develop your speaking skills – obviously paying attention to correct grammar and vocabulary. I will speak Italian as much as possible – even from the very beginning – and encourage you to do the same.
Every class is targeted to the student's goals, which are discussed with me during our first introductory lesson.
Students can bring their own material, in case they need help preparing for a test or exam; alternatively I will provide learning material (digital or hard copy) based on the student's needs.

Hello everyone! I'm a professional teacher in different areas that include languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, Russian. I have been teaching for about 10 years since I started my bachelor’s degree in Chinese studies and world literature in Ukraine. I have also worked as an early childhood educator in Shanghai for over 3 years. I love to work with children of different ages. I like to imply Friedrich Froebel's educational method, when children construct their understanding of the world through direct experience of it in play (free self-activity, creativity, social participation and motor expression). I have experience in both kindergarten and home education. I have also given Russian classes to adults and I can prepare all the necessary materials for you based on your level, but you can also provide your own materials. The courses cover the following areas: general language, oral language, reading and writing.

On request: world literature and creative writing, scientific writing, Chinese calligraphy.

My background:
Bachelor's in Chinese and World Literature (Ukraine)
Master’s in Media & News (China)
Master’s in Art (Germany)

As a student who graduated from the European School, I have gained a lot of knowledge in different languages. Having learnt Greek, German, English, French, and even a bit of Italian, I have become familiar with the ways and mechanisms of teaching a language. I have always been passionate about writing and believe a lot in the importance of writing abilities to help individuals mentally, and the same counts for speaking and reading. Language is a form of self-expression that is of utmost importance to life, and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn these skills.

Additionally, as a political science student at the University of Amsterdam, I offer help with history and sociology lessons, having studied both these subjects with a lot of passion for many years.

I am a very patient person and approach these lessons with excitement and a lot of joy, but most importantly, with passion. Seeing people grow in their skills is very important to me, especially seeing how happy they are with themselves.
