Aleksey

Aleksey is the consummate language instructor. He has a talent for explaining complex topics in an easy-to-understand manner and the knowledge to back his explanations up. He is flexible and patient enough to adapt his instructions to his students' particular needs. And his passion for teaching helps to cultivate a fun and non-judgemental atmosphere for language learning.

Having completed over seventy lessons with Alexey, I am truly impressed with his skill as a teacher. For almost two years, he has been able to keep our weekly lessons ever lively and fruitful. He is happy to prepare lesson materials, such as study notes and exercises, focusing on subjects which I am struggling with. Alternatively, he is flexible and capable of answering spontaneous questions I have during our lessons. He is very good at finding grammatical explanations which are rigorous and comprehensive but also suited to my current level. Sometimes our lessons are purely in Russian for my speaking practice, but when I need a deeper discussion on finer points of grammar or usage, he can switch to English and speaks with wonderful clarity and precision. Alexey is an engaging teacher who is passionate about language, and generous in imparting insights from his experiences both as a professional translator and as a native speaker from a Ukrainian family with deep roots :)

Спасибо, Алексей, это была очень хорошая дискуссия, ты очень хорошо объясняешь русскую грамматику :)

we reviewed the homeworks and we ended the compound sounds: дз, дж ~ good reading and translating lesson, I wish I could talk more

We finished the alphabet and we started with the genitive case: У мене є сина машина. More interactive lesson, looking forward to more interaction in teh future

We studied the pronunciation of letters з and ж, Ш, ц and ч, щ. Interesting explanation about В ~ Bона vs жовта I like the reading and translating exercises
