Personal Description:

My name is Dmitry, and I'm an Oxford-trained linguist and a qualified teacher of Russian and English. I have been teaching languages for the past 8 years and am currently a Teaching Fellow in Russian at University College London (SSEES, UCL).

Tutoring Experience:

Before moving to England, I spent two and a half years teaching English at Tomsk University. I have been teaching Russian since I graduated from Oxford in 2008 (including at Bristol University last year). I'm now employed as a Teaching Fellow in Russian at UCL. I also teach Russian at the Foreign Office.

Tutoring Approach:

My teaching style is a continuum: from a very formal structural approach to a very relaxed communicative style. Usually, it's a mixture of styles - I believe there's no single most effective teaching method. Of course, I always try to tailor all my lessons to the student's needs. One of the most important things for me is thorough organisation of each individual lesson - lesson plans are absolutely essential. It's also important to eliminate any element of boredom, which I achieve through a relatively fast tempo and a constant change of language activities. Finally, I'm very patient and friendly as a tutor.

From Kathryn (5/5): (University Russian) Dmitry has previously provided me with University-level Russian tutoring and I would not hesitate in recommending him to others who are interested in improving any aspect of their Russian language skill. Dmitry not only helped me with my speaking skills but also significantly consolidated and supplemented my knowledge of Russian grammar and vocabulary. The lessons I had with Dmitry were always well-structured and tailored to my particular requirements, and I appreciate the time he took to understand my own personal strengths and weaknesses. The variety of teaching methods Dmitry used meant that my time with him continued to be interesting and enjoyable throughout! Thanks to Dmitry I experienced a definite improvement in all aspects of my Russian language skill.

From Molly (5/5): (Casual Learner Russian) Off to a very good start!

From Victoria (5/5): (GCSE Russian) Dmitry is an excellent teacher. He always come prepared to lesson and he also had all the information for GCSE exams that we needed. My daughter really enjoys the lessons and we can see that she has very good progress.
