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

Àpd 41 € /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!

39 € /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!

41 € /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.

Bonjour,
je suis professeure de langues et de géographie, diplômée de l'Université pédagogique de Moscou (Bac + 5). Après mes études universitaires j'ai enseigné pendant quelques années dans un établissement moscovite. Depuis mon arrivée en France en 1989, j'ai enseigné le russe à l'Institut Leschi à Marseille, à l'école Les Chemins à Aix-en-Provence, niveau collège et lycée, selon le programme d'état. J'ai préparé des élèves au bac et j'ai eu de bons résultats. J'ai également donné des cours de russe à La Chambre de Commerce de Marseille-Provence, à Soft, Euro-tech, Port autonome de Marseille etc.
Chaque cours est adapté en fonction de besoins individuels et du niveau de formation de l'élève, de ses capacités d'assimiler et de mettre en pratique la nouvelle information. Grammaire, conjugaison, lexique, orthographe, la didactique appropriée, plus une bonne dose de culture générale (civilisation, littérature, cinéma, théâtre, peinture, architecture, musique, danse, chant, actualités etc.) , la conversation et un zeste de l'humour.
Je donne des cours à domicile rue Horace Bertin (13005), je peux me déplacer chez mes élèves.

Étudiante en licence de philosophie, je propose des cours de soutien et d’accompagnement en philosophie pour collégiens et lycéens (notamment préparation au bac).

Mon approche est méthodique et concrète :
– compréhension des notions clés (liberté, justice, vérité, conscience, etc.)
– méthode de la dissertation et du commentaire de texte
– aide à la rédaction, structuration des idées, clarification des concepts
– entraînement à l’oral et à l’argumentation

En tant qu’étudiante, je connais exactement les difficultés actuelles des élèves et les attentes scolaires. Mon objectif n’est pas de réciter des cours abstraits, mais de faire comprendre, penser et argumenter avec rigueur.

Je travaille dans un cadre sérieux et bienveillant, avec des explications claires, des exemples concrets et un suivi personnalisé.

Teaching style
I prefer a hybrid style because there is no single method for everyone; I apply a specific methodology to all learners with different objectives and learning needs. I like to encourage students to self-correct and to practice structures through both writing and conversation. I offer conversation, listening, reading, and writing classes.
