Hi everyone! My name is Elena, I live in Russia, in the Urals. During my life, I tried several professions, but gradually and consciously came to the decision that I want to teach Russian as a foreign language. My hobbies include gardening, cycling and, of course, learning English. Over the past 3 years, I have been able to successfully help people from various contries improve their knowledge of the Russian language.
Me as a Teacher
I consider myself an open and patient teacher with a good sense of humor. I am very demanding of myself as a teacher, I always carefully select the material for the upcoming lesson and take seriously the development of homework for the student, as well as feedback. I tend to see the lesson through the eyes of the student and use the questions asked as the main tool.
My lessons & teaching style
I provide structured lessons both for those who are just starting to learn Russian, and for students with a higher level. I prefer to use a communicative approach to teaching, focusing on the development of speaking and listening skills.
During conversational Russian classes, I often use methods and techniques that encourage the student to easily formulate thoughts in the target language. I always try to make lessons fun and as enjoyable as possible for both my students and myself. I consider it very important to create a comfortable atmosphere in my classes where the student’s emotional involvement in what is happening is formed. I have all the necessary materials and my own lesson designs.

I feel good to be able to use the vocabulary I have learned, and with the teacher's patient explanation and guidance, I will respond more actively. Through diversified learning such as listening to recordings, topic discussions and article reading, every class is never boring.

The teacher is really passionate about teaching. She works hard to improve my pronunciation, and this encouragement also give me more motivation to learn actively. Of course, I also hope that I can speak Russian better and more fluently. Now I am going to review the lesson materials and I hope more people will learn Russian with the teacher.

In today’s Russian class, I learned a lot of important vocabulary and grammar, which are very practical in daily life (if I go for a Russia tour one day). Although it's a bit difficult, it's still fun. The teacher shared some local food culture and I learned how to describe different foods, which felt great. I look forward to studying with her again next time.
