Master the Basics of Phonetics: Speak Russian Confidently from Day 1

A partir de 22.34 $ /h

Are you ready to unlock the Russian language? The secret to success lies in a strong foundation. In this lesson, we will focus on the most important part of starting any language: Phonetics and Pronunciation.

What makes this lesson special? I don’t use boring textbooks. Instead, I use exclusive presentations with rich illustrative materials. These visual aids help you create mental associations, making it much easier to memorize the Cyrillic alphabet and complex sounds. What we will do together:

The Alphabet & Beyond: We’ll cover the letters, but more importantly, the sounds they make in real speech.

Articulation Training: As a professional philologist, I will show you exactly how to produce those "tricky" Russian sounds like 'ы', 'ж', 'щ' or the difference between hard and soft consonants.

Visual Learning: My bright and clear slides will guide you through every step, ensuring you don’t feel overwhelmed.

First Words: You will leave the lesson knowing how to read basic words and introduce yourself.
Who is this for?

For absolute beginners: no prior knowledge required.

Materials provided: I provide all necessary materials: a copy of the presentation, links to video or audio materials, and homework (if you choose to complete it).

Información adicional

Please have your laptop with the camera open. No prior preparation is required.

Приятного аппетита! О еде, вкусах и здоровых привычках (B1)

22.65 $ /h

Bon Appétit: Food, Flavors, and Lifestyle (Level B1)
This lesson goes beyond the menu. We will explore how language describes our physical changes, the nuances of taste, and the colorful idioms Russians use when talking about food and personality.

🎯 Who is this lesson for?
Level: B1 (Intermediate).

Students who want to sound more natural by using common idioms.

Learners interested in topics of health, nutrition, and lifestyle.

What will we cover?
Word Formation: How to turn adjectives into verbs of change. For example: худой → похудеть (thin → to lose weight), толстый → потолстеть (fat → to gain weight), старый → постареть.

The Science of Food: Understanding nutrition labels in Russian. We will study белки (proteins), жиры (fats), and углеводы (carbohydrates).

Flavors & Sensations: Descriptive vocabulary for tastes (bitter, sour, spicy) and how to use the verbs «удалось» (managed to) and «пришлось» (had to) in a culinary context.

Idioms & Expressions: Master vivid phrases like:

Свежий как огурчик (Fresh as a daisy/cucumber).

Ни рыба ни мясо (Neither fish nor fowl — about a person).

С кислым лицом (With a sour face — looking unhappy).

Teaching Methodology and Materials

Lexical Approach: We focus on how words are transformed and combined in real-life speech.

Discussion: Tell us about your diet: what you had to give up and what you managed to achieve.

Город или деревня? (А1+- А2) Cравниваем по-русски.

22.34 $ /h

Level: A2 (Pre-Intermediate/Basic).

It is perfect for students who have a grasp of basic Russian but want to move beyond simple phrases and start comparing objects, describing locations, and expressing opinions.

Vocabulary Expansion: We will learn and practice essential antonyms used to describe surroundings, such as noisy/quiet (шумный/тихий), expensive/cheap (дорогой/дешёвый), and crowded/empty (многолюдный/пустой).

Grammar Focus: We will master the comparative degree of adjectives (e.g., better, cleaner, more comfortable), which is vital for everyday communication at the A2 level.

Speaking Practice: You will participate in a discussion about the pros and cons of city versus country living and create your own "ideal living situation" ranking.

Communicative Approach: My goal is to get you speaking! I prioritize active conversation, where 70% of the lesson time is dedicated to your output.

Interactive Materials: We will use visual aids, flashcards, and short situational dialogues to make learning intuitive and help you memorize new words faster.

Supportive Environment: I provide gentle corrections and help you find the right words to build your confidence in speaking Russian.

Required Skills
To get the most out of this lesson, you should be familiar with the Russian alphabet, know how to read, and be able to construct basic sentences in the Present Tense. Don't worry about making mistakes with endings—at the A2 level, this is part of the process, and we will work on them together!

Homework support isn't about getting answers faster. It's about learning how to learn.
While some parents see homework as a battle, I see an opportunity: teaching your child how his brain actually works.

In this class, your child will learn:
✓ How to actually study: not "work harder," but use methods that stick (mind maps, spaced repetition, Pomodoro technique)
✓ Time management without stress: organizing a chaotic schedule without anxiety apps
✓ When to use AI wisely: ChatGPT and other tools as learning partners, not cheating shortcuts
✓ Skills that matter: clear communication, problem-solving like a real thinker, asking good questions
✓ Support in any subject: math, languages, science, humanities, whatever they struggle with

How it works:
We start by understanding how your child actually learns, we don't impose a system that doesn't work for him.
Then we build a toolkit: proven study methods, personal strategies, technology used intelligently, and the confidence that he can learn anything.

What they take home:
A study system that works for him, not for others. Techniques he uses across all subjects. And something more important: the belief that learning isn't something that happens to him — it's something he controls.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Personalized to his age, subjects, and pace.
For parents wondering "Why is homework still a battle?"

Chaque accompagnement commence par un temps d’échange. Il est important pour moi de comprendre l’histoire, les besoins et les objectifs de l’élève, mais aussi de créer un climat de confiance dès la première rencontre.

Je sais que l’école peut parfois être source de stress, de découragement ou de perte de confiance. Mon rôle est d’offrir un espace rassurant, bienveillant et structuré, où l’élève peut avancer à son rythme, poser ses questions librement et retrouver le plaisir d’apprendre.

Les séances sont adaptées à la personnalité et au fonctionnement de chacun. Nous pouvons travailler sur :
• la compréhension des notions scolaires
• les devoirs et les révisions
• la méthodologie et l’organisation
• le renforcement du français (notamment pour les élèves allophones)
• la confiance en soi et l’autonomie

Grâce à ma maîtrise de l’espagnol (niveau C2), je peux également accompagner les élèves et familles hispanophones dans leur intégration au système scolaire suisse, faciliter la compréhension des consignes et soutenir la transition linguistique si nécessaire.

J’utilise des outils interactifs et des supports personnalisés afin de rendre les séances vivantes, concrètes et adaptées aux besoins réels de l’élève.

Je crois profondément que chaque personne a des capacités et des ressources qui méritent d’être reconnues et encouragées. Mon accompagnement vise autant la progression scolaire que le développement de la confiance et de la motivation.

Dans une logique de collaboration, et toujours avec l’accord des parents, je peux également échanger avec les enseignants ou les professionnels concernés afin d’assurer une cohérence et une continuité dans le suivi.

Je tiens à ce que cet accompagnement puisse rester accessible. Si le tarif représente une difficulté, nous pouvons en discuter ensemble en toute confiance.

French as a second foreign language
science and technology high school
CurriculumPLUS Bavaria
Years 5 to 10

I took French from sixth to tenth grade at a grammar school and consistently got top marks. I've always been passionate about languages, having grown up bilingual at home speaking Vietnamese and German, and then learning three more foreign languages at school: English, French, and Spanish. I would be thrilled if you would give my French class a shot ;)
