Teaching is a deeply creative process for me and a practice of being in the moment. ➡️ Very systematic ➡️Suggested homework ➡️ A variety of materials used - videos, texts, interviews,etc. ➡️ at your pace.
I'm a native Russian living now by the Black sea and previously whole life in beautiful Siberia. I’m interested in different things, the most important for me now are reading (popular science - how the brain works; classical literature, modern literature from literary awards shortlists) and contact improvisation (which I also teach in my city).Me as a Teacher
Although my teaching experience started a long time ago, I still find teaching a deeply creative process and a practice of being in the moment.
I have a bachelor's degree in pedagogy and a good knowledge of teaching methods. I've been trained to give professional lessons in teaching Russian at Moscow state university. I always prepare my lessons in details but I can easily improvise as well!
Recently I have developed and given the course on teaching Russian as a foreign language to other language teachers. It helped me even more to optimize and clarify the approach that grew out of my practice.My lessons & teaching style
I offer different courses and work with/without textbooks. Teaching beginners, I use English because it’s important to get core ideas across in a clear way but then gradually I give instructions in Russian. Giving new material, I use the 3P method (presentation, practice, production), mnemonics and cultural-historical concepts. Before moving on, I make sure that students have mastered the previous material. Between lessons students do homework to practice new material and get corrections before their next lesson. Having a textbook-based course, I use a book written by one of the best Russian methodists which deals with different aspects of the language. I also use authentic materials.My teaching material

Tatiana is a wonderful teacher. She has developed many very effective methods to help you remember difficult or important aspects of the Russian language. I highly recommend her to any student attempting to improve his/her Russian . Always focused on your needs, provides lots of feedback, corrects mistakes in a tactful way, organized, uses Internet materials in an efficient manner, researches tailored topics for you and the list goes on... In short a real professional !
