Hi! My name is Aleksandr, I’m from Saint Petersburg. I’m a psychologist, but I also love studying and teaching languages, which is why I’m here :) I enjoy traveling, and at the moment I’m living in Vietnam. If we ever happen to be in Saint Petersburg at the same time, I’d be happy to show you around my city! I love meeting new people, and during our lessons we can talk about any topics that interest you. If you don' t see a suitable time in my schedule, just send me a message and we’ll try to find another option! I’ve been teaching English and Russian for four years. I spent a full year teaching both languages in China, and when the pandemic started, I moved my lessons online. My students say they enjoy learning with me. And from my own experience, I know that when you genuinely enjoy the process, reaching your goals becomes much easier and more engaging. I try to make my lessons engaging and comfortable, with a strong focus on speaking practice. We can talk about your daily life, TV shows, current events, or any topics that interest you. I know how intimidating it can feel to speak with a native speaker, especially for the first time. That’s why I aim to be a patient and understanding teacher. My own experience as a language learner really helps me see things from my students’ perspective.

So I read a short story to Aleksandr and he explained some of the difficult words in the text. Then he asked me to summarise the story for him, which was useful, because it required critical thinking and then forming sentences from the summary in my head. Then we talked about fasting in general. Very enjoyable lesson.

The lesson was great and encouraging, Aleksandr helps you with vocabulary so you can speak in Russian, and he is very patient and makes you feel comfortable during the lesson, thank you 😊

We read two stories, one about a misunderstanding about hair drying and another about a girl crawling into the cupboard in the kindergarten. Both are funny stories, and I learnt how Russian jokes work with misunderstood words.

Highly recommend taking this course. The show is really funny, but the language not too difficult. Alex speaks clearly and explains well, using Russian as much as possible. I was laughing and having lots of fun discussing the funny language in the show.

Aleksandr gave me two funny short stories to read. We talked about the plots in the stories, and I love the punchlines at the end.

I expressed difficulty in reading, and Aleksandr gave me a couple of tiny stories to read and discuss. It was difficult but interesting.
