About Me
italki teacher since May 3, 2024Interest topicArtMusicReadingScienceFilms & TV Series
Hello. My name is Nikita, I am from Veliky Novgorod - the heart of Russian history. I was born in 1998, now I live in St. Petersburg. I love to explore the world and explore myself. I like to study about different cultures, foreign languages, and improve my knowledge of the Russian language. I also like psychology and art. In my free time I compose music and play the piano. I think that you can talk to me about a variety of topics: the meaning of life, pictures of cats, the absence of ability to express our true feelings caused by linguistic limits, football, classical music, advantages and disadvantages of pizza with pineapples etc. I believe that all humans are siblings and comrades.Me as a Teacher
In this section I would like to stress that teaching Russian as a foreign language is my conscious choice. I mastered this profession because it is important for me to do something that brings pleasure and fills life with meaning. Therefore, I guarantee fair treatment of my students. For me it is not just a way to make money, but also an activity which gives me an opportunity to help people by doing what I enjoy, using all my skills and knowledge.My lessons & teaching style
Right now I focus only on comprehensible input method. I've tried teaching grammar but I found it not really effective and useful. If you are not familiar with comprehensible input, I highly recommend you to search and read about it. You may also want to visit Dreaming Spanish website because it has a lot of very useful information about that topic. Thank you!My teaching material

It was my first lesson with Nikita but he was great! He spoke clearly and was very patient with me, always happy to help if I got stuck. I look forward to working with him in the future!

Nikita is a great teacher of Comprehensible input. He knows perfectly well how to adjust his level according to the student. I am completely hooked on his lessons and am learning Russian quickly. It feels surreal because I did not expect to learn this fast. Arsalan Sohail from Oslo, Norway
