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

22.6 $ /Std

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).

The "Giver's" Grammar: Mastering the Dative Case (А 1)

22.6 $ /Std

Once you know the basics, the Dative Case is your next big step toward natural Russian. It is the case of kindness (giving), communication (calling), and even your own feelings and age!

What makes this lesson different? Forget about endless grammar tables. As a university teacher with 25 years of experience, I show you the logic behind the endings. Why do we say "Мне нравится" instead of "Я нравлюсь"? Why does your age need the Dative case? We will answer these "whys" together.
In this lesson, we will cover:

The Logic of Giving: How to use verbs like give, call, help, and tell.

Emotions & Age: Mastering the "Мне 20 лет" and "Мне холодно" constructions.

Visual Patterns: My illustrated presentations will show you the endings in a way that’s easy to visualize and remember.

Practical Practice: We will create real-life dialogues: "Buying a gift," "Calling a friend," and "Sharing your feelings."

I use a communicative-cognitive approach. First, we see the pattern in a vivid illustration, then we understand the rule, and finally, we use it in a conversation.

Elementary learners (A1): You should already be able to read and know basic Russian verbs.

Intermediate refreshers: If you are confused about when to use the Dative case. My method is based on visual logic. Instead of memorizing grammar tables from a book, you will see how the language works through my PPTX slides. This approach is especially effective for the Dative case, as it allows you to 'see' the direction of the action (to whom/for what) through images and clear patterns."

I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I worked in a language school and at universities. I have been teaching Turkish professionally for more than 16 years. I also taught Turkish for 5 years when I was a university student. In 2018, I obtained a TESOL certificate and also began teaching English.

I teach both adults and children. Creating a comfortable learning environment for my students is one of my top priorities. If you would like to learn Turkish or English in a consistent and structured way, I would be happy to work with you.

I hold firmly to two main principles: creating a comfortable space for learning and building an encouraging atmosphere.

My students often describe me as patient, positive, and well-organised. Over time, I’ve found my own way of making Turkish feel easier, more enjoyable, and more practical to learn.

I love shaping each lesson around my students’ interests, needs, and learning styles. I adapt my teaching to the needs of students with special conditions, such as ADHD and OCD.

In my lessons, you’ll never feel afraid of making mistakes. Before long, you’ll start noticing them on your own and correcting yourself naturally.

Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid understanding of grammar, as Turkish has a very different structure.

I use the course book set prepared by Istanbul University. It follows a strategic approach to learning Turkish and includes all language skills—reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking—from A1 to C2. All of these skills are essential for conversation.

I teach English for the A1 and A2 levels.

The workbook offers many exercises for homework or revision, and I support the book with my own authentic materials. I also use an interactive board that you can view anytime, and you can edit it as well. Repetition-based speaking practice plays an important role in my lessons.

I speak English well, and a bit of Italian, and I have also studied Persian and German grammar. I am interested in literature.

One-on-one lessons on Apprentus are just for you. Are you ready to see the benefits and start speaking right away? We will not forget to smile while doing fun and interesting lessons! :)

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you!

This chapter explains the Arabic language curriculum for the Gulf countries in a simplified and comprehensive way suitable for all student levels. The lesson employs modern teaching methods that combine detailed explanations with direct interaction with students, focusing on building their language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

My passion for teaching Arabic stems from my deep belief in its importance as part of our cultural identity, and my desire to help students understand its grammar and enjoy its beauty. I use motivational methods to engage students in the lesson, such as interactive quizzes, practical examples, and engaging short stories that touch on their daily lives.

In this lesson, students will learn to analyze and understand texts accurately, along with grammar and syntax skills in an organized and easy way. I also make sure to enhance their self-confidence through practical applications and exercises that support repetition and practice.

I aim to make Arabic a fun subject rather than a challenge, and I work to provide a positive learning environment that helps students reach their full potential. In addition, I provide personalized advice to each student to improve their level according to their individual needs.

This lesson is not just an explanation of the course, but rather a journey to discover the beauty of the Arabic language and communicate effectively through it.

I'm a TEFL-certified teacher of English as a foreign language with 3+ years of experience teaching at a private bilingual school in Thailand.

I know how to help my students break the language barrier, make them confident speakers, and help them be able to use English in real communicative situations.

I have a degree in English Philology, which gave me a deep understanding of linguistics and how languages are acquired, and I always try to apply that knowledge in my work. I have a neutral accent and a deep knowledge of phonology, which helps me teach English pronunciation successfully. I can teach my students to produce both American and British neutral accents and understand the differences between them.

I prefer a communicative approach and always try to maximize student talking time in my classes. Also, I love using the TPR (Total Physical Response) and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) approaches in my classes, because they are extremely beneficial for young learners and increase their interest and motivation.
