Russian for beginners from an American who lived there

I can adapt my teaching style to the wishes and needs of my students. Say what you want to accomplish, and I can determine how to help you meet your goals.
In the USA, I have had 11 years of experience teaching English at the high school level and four years of experience in teaching English at the college level. I earned an M.A. in English from Marquette University. In Russia I had five years of experience in teaching college English classes and giving private English lessons to children and teenagers. After taking Russian classes at a small college, I went to Russia in 1995 and lived there until 2000, studying Russian every day with a private tutor.

More About This Tutor...

I was an exceptionally driven high school student, taking the most difficult schedule my small private school would offer. My course work included AP calculus and AP US government, on both exams I received good marks. In college I studied a wide variety of classes in pursuit of a degree in the liberal arts. My main foci were history, foreign languages and English literature and grammar while maintaining a love for the sciences and mathematics. I have spent the last two years teaching English as a second language in China. My time there was spent teaching the oral skills and tutoring in reading and writing.
As a student I enjoyed most the teachers who facilitated learning. Teachers who lead students on a road of discovery as they learned, who taught me how to think and not what to think. I model my teaching after the same style I enjoyed as a student. Helping a student disco ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Free and unconstrained autobiographical writing is one of the best ways to coax a student insecure about his or her writing skills into putting into words intense experiences from their own life. I tell my students to just tell me in their own words what they are trying to say. When they speak aloud, the words flow, and then I say, "There is your opening sentence right there. Quick! Write it down." At other times, I ask them to pretend that they are really someone else, an actor in a television show, for example, and I have them imagine that the character, not they themselves, are speaking. This releases the student to let go of inhibitions and let the film roll "for the character" and then they stop focusing on themselves.
As a lifelong lover of literature and writing, I have taught students from fifth grade through junior level college literature and writing courses. My MA and Ph ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned my masters degree and then some in graduate level courses. I am searching as we speak for the perfect school to earn my special education certification. I have taught in two school districts and prior to that I have worked with early childhood settings. I have taught K4,K5,1 -7th grade students and ESL adults at the collegiate level. I currently teach 1st grade. In addition, I have taught my staff members different managerial concepts, literacy lessons, and writing lessons.
I am an energetic, fair, fun loving person who feels at home when surrounded by young learning minds. I feel that differentiation is my niche and am proud with the relationships that I form with families as well. My students leave my class with confidence, social grace, and academic improvement. I am a believer in providing a safe, fun, and structured atmosphere where children are learning.
