I am a native speaker of English, born and raised in New York. I hold a PhD in linguistics from Stony Brook University. I have a true passion for pronunciation and grammar, and have taught university courses on phonetics and syntax for over 10 years.
Ik als leerkracht
I am comfortable teaching true beginners as well as highly advanced students, and am happy to tailor each lesson to your particular strengths and interests. Teaching is something to be taken seriously, but it's equally important that both of us are having fun, otherwise the learning won't happen.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I enjoy creating phonetics and grammar drills to work on students' weak spots, and establishing a warm, friendly environment where you can feel free to be as expressive as possible, knowing that your mistakes will be eventually be corrected, but not in a way that breaks up the flow of the conversation.

Russel is amazing that he helped me correct a bunch of pronunciation and grammatical mistakes of me that I never noticed before. He gave me a lot of helpful tips of English speaking that I can use in daily life. I will continue my lesson with Russel from time to time more of a conversation type to level up my English learning in general! It’s great fun talking with Russel! 👍

Russell 在读诗方面好像有很多经验,他读不同语言的诗,除了英语我还学到其他内容。

我们大概说了自我介绍,时间很短,来不及说课程目标相关的话题。 Russell 会将语言知识辅助地引入,比如在对话框里默默订正表达用语。注重实际运用,他很友善大方,给人轻松的感觉,是随和和随性的人。他会给人自由和主导的空间。他教学的设计和风格是如何我不太了解,比较随性?还是有系统的?有结构的?有计划的?明确的?他的会给实用的表达,不会一上来就很学究,这点我很欣赏。

Russell's ability to speak multiple languages really helps, it quickly solves the problem of how to correct me when I struggle to express something or make a mistake
