Graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2005 with a degree in Russian Language and Literature. 1 semester in Russia at Petrozavodsk State University. Worked as an adjunct English instructor at Voronezh State Pedagogical University 2005 - 2006. 2008 - 2011 attended Chongqing Normal University in China, received a certificate for completion of a three year series of courses in Chinese Language and Culture, passed the Hanban/Confucius Institute HSK Chinese Proficiency Test Level 5 (Level 6 is the highest)
Native speakers are better language teachers only at the advanced level. For beginning - intermediate level, a teacher who has learned a foreign language is better than a native speaker. I have a clear explanation for many of the problems you are facing, whereas a native speaker may just confuse you more.

"Linguistic ability manifests itself without being taught"

Good afternoon to the potential investor! I want to introduce myself as an experienced and efficient translator and editor, freelance journalist and native Russian speaker who can teach you on academic and basic levels. Regardless to my education and experience my help can be constructive and beneficial for one who is looking for unconscious 'every-day-language' practice, grammar, writing and reading experience.
My tutoring concept is hidden between teaching formal Russian grammar, training writing skills and using this language in practice with native speakers. As editor and freelance journalist my work is focused on particular knowledge, understanding and using language in different fields and for various purposes.

I have experience as a tutor at an international boarding school. I was a math tutor and helped students with the three levels of mathematics which are offered as subjects for the International Baccalaureate program: mathematical studies, standard and higher level mathematics. Due the variety of levels of mathematics which was taught at my high school, my experience as a tutor has helped me learn how to find different approaches to explaining the material. Working with students with different backgrounds in mathematics, answering their questions and helping them with a variety of problems has been a great way to master the material and to become comfortable with dealing with different levels of mathematics. Over the last academic year I have been working as a volunteer for Project for Pride in Living in Saint Paul. I have been working with elementary school students to help them with ... read more

My comments on tutoring Russian : I have been preparing for the last fifteen years, through my education, work, and life experiences, to serve as a leader and leave a lasting impact on people and organizations. My expertise stems from my ability to communicate in three languages and understand how to excel at the university level with degrees from Ukraine (USA credentialed by Education Credential Evaluators, Inc. -WI ) and most recently, in 2012, a Master of Science in Education Administration and Leadership from St. Cloud State University. My background and educational experiences have allowed me to develop a deep personal understanding of the complex needs of people from diverse backgrounds.

Need a casual, friendly and flexible tutor? You found them!

I have a Bahcelor's Degree from the University of Minnesota and have spent the majority of my time working with students who need help in areas like writing, reading, comprehension and essay-composing strengths. I have worked at the Normandale Community College Writing Center when it was just first starting out, and have, in more recent years, acted as a TA for the Slavic Department at the U of M.
I believe that instead of forcing students to fit into rigorous standards which might inhibit their learning, teachers can and should learn to take different, out of the box approaches to every tutoring session. Having a one-on-one lesson is a great opportunity for me to explore what learning style is best for you, and we can work together to develop a comfortable schedule and set of exercises which will be not only educational, but also enjoyable for you.

My first degree in chemical engineering was completed in Lviv, Ukraine with a first class, collecting a litany of awards during the period, especially in applied math and the sciences.My PhD was in Azerbaijan during the Soviet era. For over 20 years I have been in the academia as a professor , examiner, researcher, author,chair of a department and an inventor. I have just completed a research assignment with Virginia Tech as a visiting scholar and I am excited at the prospect of helping the young ones nurture the love for math and the physical sciences- chemistry and physics.
To me there are no weak students. It is essentially a question of approach; how to motivate and inspire the individual to value and love a subject and discover the fun in the subject. Different students are motivated differently and the major challenge to any tutor is how to discover the motivational factors ... read more

My journey to the higher education started ten years ago at the age of 16 when I graduated from high school with honors and was accepted to Department of Law of the Belarusian State Economic University. As for now my educational background also includes BS in Biochemistry (pre-med) from University of Minnesota and I am currently pursuing Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. I was recognized as “Excellent Student” in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Human Anatomy, Genetics, and General Biology and tutored those subjects to college students at Normandale Community College.
Education means a change—a change that we acquire through a long and difficult process of learning, a change that makes us better people and makes our world a better place to live in. But education is not easy; it is something that requires some help and a lot of passion. I believe that my lov ... read more

In Maine (spring 2008) I worked as a substitute teacher for Cumberland County School District. I have also worked as a mentor (Big Brothers/Big Sisters 2004). I am a scholarly person. At Bowdoin College, I was Russian Club President, won the school's Russian Department Prize in 2009, and maintained a 3.8 GPA within the Russian department.I found my experience working as a substitute teacher incredibly rewarding. The student-teacher relationship naturally appeals to me. It is in my opinion a symbiotic relationship. I personally learn by teaching, it helps me to process information. Ultimately, I want to teach Russian or Russian history on a college level. I think that tutoring in Russian or in history would be very helpful for me.
I believe that it is most important for a teacher to be firm, patient, and clear. What worked best for me as a substitute teacher was to first establish a ... read more
