Aigerim - Tokyo$16

$16Russian language for learners of every level and age.

Trusted teacher: Russian is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is an official language of Russian, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is spoken in all other post-soviet countries, and also in Israel, the Balkans and the U.S. As Russia has been in the process of positioning itself as a major economic force, including the Russian language in CV would definitely give a good impression to employers. Many companies today are looking for qualified international workers who master Russian. Apart from that, being able to speak the Russian language will allow you to understand Russians and their culture, something which could never happen through cultural exchanges. You would develop a new view of Russian literature, music, and art. Why choose me as a tutor? - I am a native Russian speaker with experience in teaching the Russian language to non-Russians. - I have been teaching Russian for years to beginners and advanced learners. My English and Japanese are fluent, so in our lessons, I will explain everything to you in a very understandable and easy way. - I have been giving private lessons and teaching in classrooms. I have worked with children and adults. - I ensure that you would enjoy my classes because I always try to make the learning process fun and relaxed. Our lessons will always be well organized and well structured. -All the lessons are tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you succeed. - I will help you to achieve the necessary level of communication in the shortest possible time since I also have been learning foreign languages and know the secret for learning them quickly. You will finally begin to speak fluently in Russian. Even if you have not learned the language before, by the end of the course you will be able to speak Russian, learn all the grammar basics, understand native Russian speakers, read and write in Russian. I look forward to meeting you!
