We will get to know each other and have some conversation practice! I will ask you about your learning goals more specifically and  I will show materials I plan to use during our lessons.

We can discuss a wide range of topics based on your needs. After practice, I'll provide feedback on any mistakes and recommend specific out-of-class activities to address any problem areas. In all my lessons, we can adjust the primary focus and concentrate more on another skill if we feel it's necessary.

Informal conversation practice

These lessons primarily focus on grammar review, targeted exercises, and correcting common mistakes. I use a personalized grammar review system for extra practice tailored to your needs. While grammar is the core of these lessons, we can adjust the focus to include other skills like speaking or listening if needed. My approach is flexible and adapts to your goals to ensure balanced language development. That type of lesson requires extra time to prepare materials, so the price is a bit higher than that of a conversational class.

Grammar-oriented lesson

We will select an appropriate textbook and learn Russian step by step, following the requirements for the Test of Russian as a Foreign Language. During the lessons, we will focus on different language skills—reading, speaking, listening, and writing if needed—and cover new grammar and vocabulary comprehensively. That type of lesson requires extra time to prepare materials, so the price is a bit higher than that of a conversational class. In all my lessons, we can adjust the primary focus and concentrate more on another skill if necessary.

General Russian

During the lesson, we will focus on improving your pronunciation. You will read aloud materials in Russian or participate in conversation practice, and I will identify any problematic areas. I'll explain the issues and provide guidance on how to overcome them. In all my lessons, we can adjust the primary focus and concentrate more on another skill if we feel it's necessary.
