Introduction
I like to consider myself as a warm, patient tutor who helps Russian schoolchildren speak English with confidence. Her students make steady progress in speaking, reading, and schoolwork by using short, practical lessons and daily practice.
My background and experience starts similar to your children with private English lessons when I was younger. While my instructor was not a native English speaker, she was knowledgable, patient and focused on my needs. Fast forward a few years and I graduated with honors from Penza State University, where I studied Marketing and continued my studies in the English language and teaching. I have more than 10 years of active English-speaking experience living and working in Europe and the United States. That real-life use of English — in classrooms, shops, travel, and workplaces — makes me fluent and gave me a strong cultural understanding.
Why This Matters for Your Child
My time in English-speaking countries showed me the common problems Russian-speaking learners face: sounds that are hard to pronounce, word order differences, and confidence when speaking. Because I have lived both languages, I know how to explain tricky grammar simply and how to build speaking skills step-by-step.
1. How I Teach Personalized Lessons
- I adapts each lesson to the child’s age, level, and interests.
- Lessons are short, focused, and fun to keep children motivated.
2. Practical English Speaking and Listening
- Most lessons focus on speaking and listening, not only grammar.
- Role play, storytelling, and real-life tasks help children use English naturally.
3. Bilingual Strategies
- I use Russian when needed to explain new ideas quickly.
- I switch to English for most practice to build fluency and listening skills.
4. Positive, Measurable Progress
- Lessons include small goals so children see progress each week.
- Praise and small rewards build confidence and reduce fear of mistakes.
