Experience Summary
I have a Master’s degree from one of the most prestigious schools in Russia. My education is a combination of philology and methodology of teaching. My extensive professional experience in tourist industry and for international companies rendered me bilingual in French.
I taught French language and culture in 10 classes of 20 students each in Russia for 3 years. I was teaching and tutoring ESL for Russian and French-speaking kids and I substituted for French teachers at the Ann Arbor public schools. I taught Russian language and culture at the Wayne State University in Detroit. In addition to that I have experience in private tutoring in Russian grammar, reading, writing/composition and French languages
Teaching Style
I love working with students of different ages: children through adults. I love to see the results of my teaching: for instance, people, who weren't able to pronounce a single word in Russian, start speaking in sentences, understand, write and read in Cyrillic.
I think that the main goal is to achieve the academic success. The teaching methods could be different depending on the particular situation. However the key for successful teaching will be the same with any student: patience, love, encouragement.
