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

Von 38.66 Fr /Std

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!

Über mich

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!

36.77 Fr /Std

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!

38.66 Fr /Std

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.

Are you having difficulties analysing texts, poems and prose in your IGCSE English, IB English Literature or IB LangLit course? Are you ready to commit an hour every week over the summer to get that 6 or 7 and get into the university of your dreams? Then this is the course for you!

From helping you master the general techniques of literary analysis and teaching you how to compare literary works to answer exam questions on character development, theme and techniques, my course will provide you with all the tools and knowledge you need to dazzle even the most demanding IB examiner. The combination of my passion for writing prose and poetry and my deep understanding of IB marking criteria thanks to great teachers and thoughtful research means that I am uniquely placed to not only explain what your answers were lacking, but also show you how thinking like a writer can help you dramatically improve your answers.

Following a thorough discussion of your individual needs in our first class, I will create for you an engaging but exam-focused programme drawing on my 3-year experience as a tutor and using interactive teaching platforms. Through my course, you will get access to a vast library of resources (at no extra cost) - from official IB textbooks and past papers to teacher guidance - to help you perfect both your analytical and essay-writing skills. And if English is your second language, I will show you what to focus on in your learning so that you could write better than Shakespeare!

Are you ready to turn the page on disappointing grades in the past? Then contact me today!
