I'm just a regular person with love for cats, languages, traveling and movies. I'm here to become your language friend, who you can rely on! I am currently living in Seoul to study Korean at university.
I believe that learning languages is not only a way to learn more about new culture, but also a chance to be able to try to understand the way people think and be connected to people in a different part of the world.
I've lived in different parts of Russia (Saint Petersburg, Siberia and South of Russia), so I can also tell you about different lifestyles! I have a lot of knowledge about Russian history and literature, so you can ask questions about these topics.
Nice to meet you! :)
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I used to be an English tutor for school students for 4 years, and I help my friends who are learning Russian, that's why I know I love teaching. I'm also very friendly and can talk about almost every theme.
When learning a language, I believe it is important to make mistakes. That's why I always hear my students out and only then make corrections. My goal is to make you comfortable speaking Russian, so I will keep friendly atmosphere, but always make sure you speak in Russian as much as you can.
I put a lot of efforts into creating lessons and feedback, that's why it's going to be helpful. I have a lot of stories to tell and I'm eager to listen to yours. I'm sure our classes will be fun!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I don't have a specific book for all of my classes, however, I have a wide range of materials depending on your level and interests. With my students, we have casual conversations, learn fixed expressions and proverbs, discuss news, read books and poems (both level-adapted and authentic writers). We can also dig into grammar and discuss different ways of diversifying your speech with different constructions.
I always want to use as much Russian as possible, that's why I do not give translaitons for words right away, but explain in Russian, use body language or show pictures. I also love explainig word origins so students will find it easier to remember many words.
Sofia is an excellent teacher. She approaches the classes like a seasoned professional: prepared, patient, and excited to see progress in her student. I always feel comfortable speaking with her and she corrects my mistakes in a polite, yet informative manner. You can tell she just has a knack for language and teaching.
If you're looking to hone in on your Russian skills than I highly recommend you set up time with Sofia.

I feel myself getting more and more conversational as time goes on! I learn how to speak more naturally during every lesson and that is absolutely wonderful!

Sofia is extremely helpful and assisted me greatly in preparing for a test that I have for class. She is very helpful both during class time and provided me feedback outside of class as well; I love the homework she assigns too!
