Approach to learning

The structure of my Russian lesson is well balanced. I include grammar and pronunciation techniques, also tips for better and quicker memorisation. I’ve developed my own materials, and I also supplement them with published resources, videos and recorded conversations. My Russian lessons are based on high frequency vocabulary and grammatical structures.

All lessons are very interactive: you will be saying Russian words, repeating after me, we will be role-playing short dialogues, and you will be building your grammar and vocabulary bank gradually. I’ll be giving a homework task after each session so that you can consolidate your learning.

Pronunciation techniques are embedded in each class, so along with vocabulary, grammar and communicative strategies, you will be practising the Russian sounds and intonation.
