Natalia

Certified professional Russian and English language teacher with more than 35 years experience, MA in Linguistics and Teaching Languages as well as Cambridge CELTA Teaching Certificate. My priorities are my students' confidence and convenience while studying, and their satisfaction with the final results.

I have mastered a wide range of teaching techniques which afford me to be very flexible in teaching and to make each lesson tailored, where the main principal is to simplify things, make them fun and easy to learn.

I love teaching, it has been my life's work. For me it's more than just a profession, it's a state of mind and soul, when you as a teacher and a person want to constantly grow and develop, open new doors and look into new cultures. It isn't just for self-development but also for sharing with students and carrying them with you. I'd like to share the knowledge of Russian with my students and open the door to the huge world of Russia.

Tutoring Experience

I've been teaching languages (English and Russian) since I graduated from the university, starting with teaching at schools then colleges,universities (mainly as a senior teacher at Kazan State University, one of the oldest and biggest universities in Russia ), blue chip companies among which is Johnson & Johnson (Spoken and Business Russian) as well as giving face -to-face and on-line private tuition, which all in all comprise the students’ age range 5 - 67.

Tutoring Approach

My priorities are my students' confidence and convenience while studying, and their satisfaction with the final results.
That’s why I’m so very proud to say that my students have achieved many of their goals, whether it’s just a simple trip to Russia or passing their exams, living in bilingual families, helping their companies to strengthen relations with Russia and even working and living in Russia. I will help you to learn, step by step, at your own pace.

I provide my students with all the necessary materials as well as offer interactive games that they can play after lessons to increase their vocabulary.
