Personal Description:

Hello! My name is Liudmila. I am a native Russian speaker from Moscow. I am a qualified linguist and a professional Russian language tutor. I’ve been teaching Russian in the UK from 2000 as an academic and a freelance tutor.
I offer private tailored individual and group Russian tuition at all levels, for all ages. I use various teaching methods as: individual teaching, coaching & instructions, open & directed Q, mini-lectures, revision exercises, individual work, dictating, student presentation, case study, instructions, drill, using video/TV, OHP, white board, audio tapes, pictures, realia, literature, music, art, IT.

Teaching Experience:

Teaching Experience in England:
Visiting Lecturer of Chelsea Independent College (A-Level Russian)
Visiting Lecturer of Lansdown College (GCSE, a-level Russian)
Visiting Lecturer of Lingualearn Ltd (Business Russian)
Visiting Lecturer of Kensington and Chelsea College (OCR Russian (Business)
Visiting Lecturer of (Russian for beginners, GCSE, A-level, FLAW, business Russian, IOL BA Diploma) South Thames College, Wandsworth, UK

Teaching Approach:

Every student is unique so all my lessons are tailor-made. Some students prefer to learn by a textbook. It this case I help them to select the best book suitable for their needs and level. Other students like to learn the language for their specific needs so I prepare special materials using various text-books, literature, films etc.
Over the years I have worked out a large selection of my own lesson plans. I know that the key for success in leaning language is motivation but sometimes it is not sufficient so I try to include in my lessons elements of history of Russia and also try to get the students acquainted with some aspects of the Russian culture, literature, music, folklore, national traditions and cuisine. In doing this I follow the input from students and try to cater for their specific interests. By my experience, learning a foreign language is easier when students find commonalities with their native language so I actively use this important aspect in my teaching.
