Svetlana ＊ Russian native speaker, certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language ＊ Teach in English ＊ Communicative approach ＊ Teaching materails correspond to the Russian Federation National Education Standard. I teach beginners starting from the alphabet and basic phonetics. After taking an introduction phonetic course we can move on smoothly to the main course (A1 elementary level). I also teach intermediate level students - if you already have some knowledge of Russian, let's define your level and your strenghthes / weaknesses by making a 30 mins diagnostic test and move on from there. We will base on reputable teaching materials and will focus on all aspects of the language: phonetics & pronunciation, comprehension, communication, grammar, writing, reading and building vocabulary. During the course I will also be happy to share some knowledge about our culture and mentality. I would like to give a small amount of homework. It will not take a lot of your time, yet can hardly be overestimated. Everyone has his / her own pace, so do not worry about how fast you go, we will build your knowledge and confidence step by step. If you need to cancel a class, please let your teacher know and cancel the class 12 hours before it’s start time.
