About Me
italki teacher since May 3, 2024InterestsArtMusicReadingScienceFilms & 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
I focus on both traditional and alternative methods of teaching. All people are different and seek different approaches for learning Russian language. I'm able to help with either basics of Russian grammar (as I've studied for grammar teaching certificate) or improving knowledge of the language with alternative methods such as Comprehensible Input or Crosstalk which I use for learning languages myself. However, if a students have no clear idea of how they should learn Russian, I'm always happy to share my views on learning languages.My teaching material

Nikita is a compassionate listener and overall wonderful human being. I could understand almost all of what he was saying because he talks in a calm and slow pace. I look forward to the next class. Spasiba!
