Russian Language Classes Through Personally Tailored Curriculum

I have Masters Degree in education and teaching English and Spanish from the Linguistic University of Russia in Nizhny Novgorod (LUNN). I am a Russian native speaker and have been working in the linguistic field for the last seven years in the US.

For three years I worked as a primary Russian Instructor for the Army linguists (Ft. Lewis, WA).I developed and implemented a Russian language program of instruction with supporting syllabi and lesson plans for different level classes and intensity of language courses. For additional two years, I worked for the Richard Milburn High School program for US Army foreign language training in the position of a Russian Language Instructor, Translator, and Editor.

I base my personal teaching approach to an individuals' learning style. I always care deeply about my students and am passionate about improving their linguistic skills. I see teaching as a two-way street because students inspire me to continuously improve my own methods and understanding. I love the challenges and satisfaction that teaching brings to my life. I like to think that my enthusiasm for my metier is contagious and that my students are learning as much every day as I do.

Since then, I have based my educational interests on foreign languages and cultures.

Russian

I would like to sincerely welcome everyone who decided to learn the Russian language. I feel very gratified when my students express a genuine interest in the culture, history, art of my country because that's what learning other languages implies. It expands one's horizons and understanding of the country and gives a deeper understanding of one's own country.

Learning Russian might seem to be a challenge due to its complex grammar structure, but it is also an unforgettable journey... Read More
