The 30 min meeting to know each other, understand your Russian level, set your goals. Even if you decide not to continue with practicing your Russian with me, I will gladly share my recommendations and materials for your studying.

These lessons are great for people who want to study Russian to talk to their Russian friends and loved ones. We won't be focusing on grammar but will work on speaking:
- ready-to-use phrases on every lesson, so you can put the Russian into your life easily,
- only useful vocabulary adapted to your life (because people around you won't be asking you questions from textbooks and talking about textbook's topics)
- using words you already know in sentences like Lego, so you have an unlimited amount of phrases,
- easy structures and phrasing for communication.

In the trial lesson, we will practice questions, revise your vocabulary, and make your own first list of go-to phrases :)

Russian for everyday life

Do you already know the basics, and want to work on your fluency? 
Using language coaching techniques, modern teaching approaches, and a wide range of materials (that suit you), lesson by lesson we will be growing your confidence and proficiency in Russian.
Three main points:
1. Buiding an effective vocabulary that can be used in different contexts. And revising it regularly.
2. Russian grammar in use. I do not believe in teaching grammar on its own, that's why the rules will be implemented with the topics and new lexis.
3. All of the notes and materials from lessons are staying with you. And I would gladly provide you more materials for practice, if welcome.

Russian Speaking Practice

Do you need the Russian for your very specific and narrow goal, which demands a highly-tailored approach? Some examples of requests I worked with:

1. Russian language to talk with clients in Russian (surfing business, art curators)
2. Application to the University to a Russian philology department (we are still working together with the student on mastering his Russian, even after being successfully accepted)
3. Russian for translators. Supervising non-Russian professionals who work with text in Russian (literature, media)
4. Moving to Russia in a very short time. We talk about a route to work, prices in supermarkets nearby, future job, etc.

In each of these cases, we develop the course plan together to perfectly fit the student's needs. In a trial lesson, we discuss your goal precisely, and even after the first lesson, I provide a plan with further steps and my recommendations.
