Things I can help you with:
- Grammar (a brief outline):
◽️ Genders
◽️ The Russian cases (the six main cases and more)
◽️ Verb tenses
◽️ Verb aspects
◽️ Verbs of motion (Motion verbs)
◽️ Reflexive verbs
◽️ Comparative and superlative forms

...
(the more you learn the more you like grammar because grammar is difficult and wonderful)

- Spoken Phrases and Idioms
- Cultural Insights
Me as a Teacher
My students are:
Entrepreneurs, software engineers, CEOs, college teachers, college/university students, ballet dancers ...
I've taught people from all over the world. I've taught students of different ages starting from 5 to 60+.
(I currently don't teach kids.)
See you in class soon! :-)
My lessons & teaching style
My main emphasis is daily spoken language. So I don't use old fancy materials like old fairy tales from 19th or 18th century. Although we could, of course, if you want.
I'm a big supporter of comprehensive approach. So I think you need grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and listening at the same time but I tend to concentrate more on daily spoken language.
I use whole bunch of different materials. I use textbooks, videos... Sometimes we even sing songs to improve your pronunciation and vocabulary.
Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. :-)

My Armenian is improving so fast with David! I was able to write a card for my dad on father's day in Armenian and that made his day. Looking forward to every lesson!
