Experience
Having over 25 years of tutoring practice, I offer online classes for different levels and ages. My students' ages vary from 3 to over 40. I teach individual classes as well as group lessons. The program is every time worked out and adjusted to one's needs. Kids lessons are supported by sharing animated bright presentations on the screen, games and puzzles. My goal is to maintain and develop their interest to learning Russian. In my opinion, it's profitable to work with a tutor who is a native speaker of Russian, lives in the US, knows both cultures, languages, way of life and is able to share this experience. In 2005 my business partner and myself started an early childhood development academy in the city of Ryazan (Russia). We worked with children 1 to 7 yo (speech development, math, grammar, fine motor skills and more). The Academy is still working successfully led by my partner in Russia. My family moved to US in 2014. Having this experience as a background, I started teaching group classes of kids from Russian or bilingual families. I also work for MREECC (Michigan Russian and East European Cultural Center), teaching Russian, math and music. All my classes are online since 2017.
