About Me
italki teacher since Jan 20, 2022Interest topic
I am a Lomonosov Moscow State University graduate with a degree in teaching Russian as a foreign language. I have been working as a Russian teacher for more than 5 years both in Russia and abroad (e.g. USA, China). I have experience of teaching Russian at the University as well as a regular language center.
Apart from teaching, I also love learning foreign languages. I have been learning English for over 10 years and am able to speak it well. I have some knowledge of German and currently I am studying French. My other hobbies are dancing, hiking and cooking.Me as a Teacher
My students appreciate that I am patient and always to my best to give them clear explanations. I believe that motivation is the driving force of progress. Therefore in order to keep my students motivated I do a thorough job to prepare the content that will be exciting and new for them. Whenever it is needed, I can be either demanding and strict or understanding and merciful.My lessons & teaching style
I love combining different activities in class so we basically do a bit of everything: grammar, reading, listening, speaking, writing and playing games. This helps me keep my students engaged throughout the entire lesson. Apart from textbook, I use other useful resources for learning such as YouTube videos, authentic texts (news, short stories, jokes etc), movies, songs and so on. I strive to create a rich Russian language environment so that my students could immerse into it and enjoy the learning process more.My teaching material

Marina is a great tutor! She is able to carry the conversation, like no other. She is very patient, and adds to the conversation, which allows me to speak, as well as to listen. I've noticed that some tutors do not say much, which doesn't help in improving my listening comprehension. Thank you, Marina!
