I have taught in higher education since 2005, and have done plenty of private tutoring since then. What I love about tutoring is that it frees me and the student from the constraints of a class: we can work on the student's goals for every minute of every lesson. Tutoring is the best kind of teaching, as the teacher can sync the lesson perfectly to the needs of one student. When you're ready to move on, we move on. If you want to spend more time on something, we spend more time...
I have taught in higher education since 2005, and have done plenty of private tutoring since then. What I love about tutoring is that it frees me and the student from the constraints of a class: we can work on the student's goals for every minute of every lesson. Tutoring is the best kind of teaching, as the teacher can sync the lesson perfectly to the needs of one student. When you're ready to move on, we move on. If you want to spend more time on something, we spend more time (productive time) on it.
I have a PhD from Columbia University and a Russian degree from Duke University. I've been serious about Russian for 25 years. I know the grammar inside and out and I can make the most difficult concepts accessible to anyone. You'll find that I understand where you're coming from and can help you make progress. I have taught Russian at all levels, and whatever you need to work on, I can show you how to improve your skills.
I know that whatever help you're looking for is likely to be pretty specific. You need to work on a certain topic for a class, or need to improve a certain skill. We'll discuss exactly what you need BEFORE we have a lesson, and we'll hit the ground running when we're on the clock.
I'm a native speaker of English and an experienced tutor and teacher.
Message me and see. I'm confident I can work with anyone in my areas of expertise. For purposes of our lessons, your goals are my goals. You'll be surprised at how much progress you can make.
