Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
PLEASE NO STUDENTS UNDER 10 YEARS OF AGE OR BEGINNERS. Also, I WILL NOT ACCEPT A NEW STUDENT WITHOUT RECEIVING AN INTRODUCTION MESSAGE FIRST. We will enjoy having video chats together where you can gain confidence in your skills. My sessions are for informal conversation practice only. I do not offer formal lessons or homework assignments.
This lesson was highly engaging and provided a natural conversational flow, which is excellent for practicing real-world English. The teacher's storytelling and openness made the session very relatable and enjoyable. The variety of topics, from personal anecdotes to cultural differences, kept the conversation interesting and informative. It was also helpful to explore pronunciation, sentence structures, and vocabulary naturally during the discussion. Great session

It feels like speaking with old good friend and that's why conversation is getting more and more better. I definitely recommend Russell as a teacher.

I could understand well of all the things we talked. I liked the quite explicit pronunciation and enjoyed the speed of the talking. Thank you very much!

I was looking for a first lesson on italki. It was the first time I had a conversation with a native speaker, a speaking conversation, so I was a little bit nervous, but every time I didn't have anything to talk about he would find a way to continue the conversation, so I got more confident during the conversation. I often have conversations in my native language that are not as good as the conversation I had with him. So not only I recommend him, but I'll hopefully book more lessons with him in the future.

It's a pity we only have thirty minutes to talk. Teacher is absolutely nice. Thank you for your time tonight, and apologize again for my bad environment when we talking.
