Teaching Approach

I love teaching Russian. Helping students discover my language and my culture is quite satisfying.

I believe that each student is different, so I always do my best to adapt my lessons to your needs and your learning style. However, I don’t think it’s possible to teach “only grammar” or “only conversation” Russian. I offer my students a lot of conversation practice, but also grammar, vocabulary, listening and reading exercises.

The Russian language is powerful tool. If you are ready to work I would like to show you the many wonderful ways to use that tool.
