Hello! I'm Alexandra. I was born and live in Moscow. I've been teaching since 2019, mostly English for Russian teens and adults.
I'm here on Italki to help you maintain learning Russian without annoying frustration. I did Cultural Studies at University, so I know what deconstruction of a piece of content is. I use it in my teaching method now.
As a person, I love beautiful things, art, design and Italian cuisine. I'm studying Italian language and Maths as a hobby. I strive to create beauty myself and hope our lessons will be the case.
Me as a Teacher
I'm providing my own unique method of learning Rusian with songs which I developped through work with my students. I basically simplify complex things and complicate simple things when needed. It makes my method rather adjustable to the level of the student.
Moreover, I highlight the importance of speaking practice. Our lessons are a dialogue in which we elicit the vocabulary of the studied songs. Not mere translation but this interaction with the imagery and contexts lead to deeper understandring and further the ability to use new words and prases.
We do little grammar, though. Just little bits, so that it won't create any confusion.
My lessons & teaching style
Song is our anchor and we dance around it (yes, poetic).
We work in shared presentations that I create for you in advance, then I make notes there during the lesson and eventually it becomes your personal, sort of, student's book that you can revise.
What does my method help with:
> avoiding frustration from complexity
> not giving up studying Russian
What it provides you with:
> managable chuncks of new info.
> speaking practice
> singing! (you can do it :))
> and many more, actually
Homework: the best result comes when you revise our notes and tell me in the next class what we discussed in the previous one. Though, I never insist.

Мне посчастливилось изучать русский язык с Александрой, и я с уверенностью могу сказать, что это выдающийся преподаватель. Её страсть к обучению и глубокое знание языка действительно вдохновляют. Каждый урок был тщательно продуман, сочетая чёткие объяснения с интересными и увлекательными заданиями. Кроме того, её терпение и способность адаптироваться к потребностям каждого ученика заслуживают огромного уважения. Благодаря её поддержке я смог улучшить свои знания русского языка намного быстрее, чем ожидал. Я без сомнений рекомендую Александру всем, кто хочет изучать этот красивый и богатый язык :)
