Chinese (Mandarin) and Russian language tutor

I have a 3-4- years experience of tutoring languages. I have experience working both with adults and children. Can teach very small kids, using "play and study" method.

Will consider your own goals and wishes and teach you accordingly. I try to make my lessons more relaxed, frequently change types of activities; I emphasize conversational practice during my lessons, after learning new material or grammar take some time to make student apply new knowledge into the conversation.

I implement a communicative approach as I believe that language lives within a context and within its cultural environment. I prefer to use several coursebooks in the classroom depending on the quality of explanations and exercises in these books. I also help my students to develop all possible skills of language proficiency, including reading, writing, listening and speaking, with the help of literature, mass media, video and audio.
I am Russian, graduate of the Moscow State University holding a PhD degree in linguistics from the same university. I am a certified teacher of Russian and English as a foreign language with more than 8 years of experience. My last position was at Cambridge Russian school (UK) where I taught Russian and literature to young learners.

My comments on tutoring Russian : I am a native Russian speaker and a certified teacher of the Russian language and literature. I graduated from Moscow State University, philological faculty in 2011.

I graduated from Moscow State University in 2011. I am a philologist, not only a native speaker, which means that I know the structure of the language inside out. I grew up and was educated in Moscow, so I speak standard version of Russian. When I was a student I worked as a private tutor for more then 2 years. I also worked as a volunteer at school where I was a teaching assistant. I can teach native Russians and foreign students, children and adults. I teach speaking, writing, reading, grammar.

A Little Bit About Me...

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer instructor of bi-weekly English language classes in Romania and Moldova. In both contexts, I have taught interactive courses for students of various ages, educational levels, and cultural backgrounds. From my background in Linguistics, I understand how language 'works'. I have a quiver full of tools to use in explaining the linguistic nuances, which I use to explain the relationship between thought and language. Additionally, I have been involved in various research projects on language usage, language change, and language learning.
I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on whic ... read more
