I give private lessons (Russian, English and Spanish) to adults and teenagers

Over the course of the last twenty years, I have honed my professional skills through university linguistics study, teaching in private institutions and tutoring, as well as translation/interpretation at home and abroad. Deep familiarity with language acquisition has
led me to develop a broad-spectrum methodology regarding the five key capabilities that students can readily employ on their journey to fluency
Some of the key features of my own teaching methodology:
• a systemic and comprehensive approach to learning;
• extensive use of authentic video materials: on-the-street interviews, reports, documentaries, dramatized stories, videoblogs and different YouTube videos;
• great emphasis on the functional and situational language used in a variety of daily situations.
During the learning process, my students acquire and develop the following five key skills and abilities:
1) Oral expression (in the lesson).
Students engage in impromptu conversation and conversation about the topics relevant to the study materials in question. Special attention is paid to various practical communicative situations (functional and situational language).
2) Listening comprehension through video materials (individual practice between lessons, later development in the lesson).
The entire learning process is based on the use of authentic audiovisual material, and each section of the course is complemented by interviews, movie scenes, reports, video blogs, etc.
3) Correct usage of the language, grammar and vocabulary exercises (individual practice between lessons, later development in the lessons).
4) Reading comprehension (individual practice between lessons).
As part of the homework, students perform reading activities and work with video transcripts.
5) Written expression (individual practice between lessons).
Students answer various questions from the units of the coursebook in writing and write small texts following the tasks given in the corresponding sections. Then they send me the written work by email so that I can check it and make corrections.
Throughout the whole learning process, active use of online dictionaries is recommended.
