Hi! My name is Ekaterina and I teach Russian for beginners. This trial lesson will be a good chance to meet each other and set our learning goals. 
If you have never learned Russian before, I suggest that during this lesson we learn some basic phrases and how to read Russian. And if you've already had some experience with the language we will have some speaking practice. Or maybe you have a particular learning request, just let me know about it. 
Can't wait to meet you!

If you have never learned Russian before, we will start with some basic phrases and learn how to read the Russian alphabet. I will show you that it is not that hard :)

We will have listening and speaking practice, that would allow us to use new vocabulary and grammar in conversation starting from the first lessons. I prefer the communicative language teaching approach and I believe that it is crucial to practice speaking a target language starting from the very beginning.

I will provide all the materials for the class and give you some homework if you want to (I really hope you do!)

General course (A1-B2)

During these lessons we will have speaking practice. We will discuss a topic of your interest:
- news/articles/interviews;
- social problems;
- culture/art/literature;
- living in Russia, or any other topic you'd like. 
I will provide the materials (texts or videos) for the discussion.

Conversational Russian (B1-C2)

В настоящий момент учусь в магистратуре, изучаю преподавание русского как иностранного. В качестве доказательства прикрепляю выписку из электронной зачетной книжки. Также проходила курс по русскому как иностранному во время учебы в бакалавриате.

Работала волонтером-преподавателем русского языка в интеграционном центре для детей беженцев и мигрантов "Такие же дети".

I am currently teaching Russian to international students at the HSE university in Moscow.
