Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a native Russian speaker, I am fluent in English, Chinese, Kyrgyz, and Kazakh. With over five years of teaching experience in Russian, Chinese, and English across both online and offline platforms, I have worked with students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, ranging in age from 5 to 65.
In addition, I bring more than eight years of international teaching experience, primarily based in China but also spanning other countries. This extensive exposure has equipped me with a solid command of various educational theories and methodologies, allowing me to adapt my instructional strategies to the unique needs of learners from different national and cultural contexts for a more
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My teaching style is distinctive and designed to facilitate clear, lasting comprehension. I structure lessons around three core components: Grammar, Vocabulary, and Practice.
To illustrate this approach, consider grammar as a high-performance sports car. Vocabulary serves as the essential fuel—without it, the car will not move. However, even with both car and fuel, mastery is impossible without the ability to drive. Thus, practice represents the development of practical skills needed to navigate this powerful vehicle we call language.
I tailor every lesson to the individual student, ensuring that all instructional materials and methods are adapted to their specific needs, goals.
This was a very enjoyable and useful lesson. I learned some more words and inflections that I might not have uncovered on my own. I clarified some aspectual and other semantic distinctions in Russian verbs of motion. I will always return for more informative lessons with this instructor.
Really great introductory Russian lesson. Mike gave a realistic and positive perspective on learning the language to fluency, the atmosphere in the session was relaxed and conversational; Mike is supportive and presents the subject matter very clearly and with evident enthusiasm & knowledge. I will absolutely be returning for many more classes to come!
