Russian is one of my top subjects! I have been taking Russian courses since my freshman year of college. During my senior year, I was a Russian apprentice teacher, teaching groups of 8-9 college students the language 3 times per week.

I am very experienced in teaching small groups of college level students. During my senior year of college I was selected to be a Russian apprentice teacher through Kenyon College's Intensive Language Program. I taught students three times per week for approximately an hour each session. I had to go through training for this position, which taught me how to design lessons and utilize teaching tools to help students understand the material. As I am a recent graduate myself, I understand the needs of most students and what it takes to keep them engaged in learning. For example, I frequently used games as memorization tools for students that focused on repetition as a learning aid. In September, I am leaving to take part in the Peace Corps as a teacher of English language in Ukraine. I plan on pursuing teaching as my future career and want to keep building on my experience.

My comments on tutoring Russian : As a teacher of Russian Language and Literature and a native Russian speaker I have many years of experience teaching language and literature in secondary school and tutoring/teaching Russian as a second/foreign language

As a language teacher, I believe in integrated learning. I use strategies to teach all four language skills and culture of the targeted language every lesson. I also think that learning vocabulary is as important as learning listening, speaking, reading and writing. I work with my students on accent reduction as it has lately become a part of the language proficiency test. I customize my lesson courses to meet the needs of every particular student.
I graduated from Nazareth College of Rochester NY, with Master's in Education, majoring in Teaching English to Speakers for who English is not a native language. I am looking forward to finding tutoring opportunities as a New York State certified English as a Second Language and Literacy (ESL/ESLL) teacher, certified to teach/tutor students from K to 12 and adults. Additionally, I would like my future students to know that my native la ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been born in Russia and Russian is my first language. I feel like I would like to share this beautiful and colorful language with another person who is interested in learning it. I have been teaching English to Russians for more than 3 years and taught Russian to the Americans who lived in Moscow for more than 4 years while working for Intel. I find it extremely rewarding to hear a non-Russian speaker speak my language. This is when I know that my goals are achieved. I have a BS Degree in International Economics and have experience working in multi-national corporation, small business and educational institution. Currently I am employed by RIT.
I love teaching children and adults. It is always fantastic to get to know people by ways of communicating. Dialogs, writing and reading excercises are part of my program. I also expect my students to memorize texts by heart. I ... read more
