Hello! My name is Alena. I live in Saint Petersburg since 2016. I love to travel and learn languages (I am currently learning French). I love Russian culture and I love sharing it.

Me as a Teacher

I have been working as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language for over 5 years. I graduated from St. Petersburg State University with a degree in international relations and Moscow State University with a degree in teaching Russian as a foreign language. Want to learn more about the history of Russia? We will look at a real textbook on the history of Russia for schoolchildren and students of Russian universities Want to work with Russian companies? We will discuss vocabulary and business style of communication Do you have a Russian girlfriend or wife? We will talk about pet names and learn how to give compliments in Russian

My lessons & teaching style

What is the most important thing in learning a language? Communication. We learn a language to communicate with others. That's why in my lessons, students start speaking from the first lessons. What my lessons consist of: 1. Studying the basics of the language and grammar 2. Audio and video in Russian 3. Communication and discussion of various topics related to Russia (starting with general topics (history, politics, economics) and ending with Soviet architecture, the cultural code of the Soviet mentality, the history of scams in the USSR and much more)
