I believe that learning a language should feel natural, inspiring, and rewarding. My lessons are based on a systemic approach: each new concept builds on the previous one, creating a snowball effect where your vocabulary, grammar knowledge, and confidence expand step by step.
I use carefully designed learning materials that make grammar clear and manageable, while steadily broadening your vocabulary in an engaging way. To keep learning lively and authentic, I bring in interactive exercises, videos, audios, and real-life texts that help you experience the language as it is used in everyday life.
For learners who prefer a less traditional path, I also offer a textbook-free approach inspired by ACTFL methodology. In this case, we focus on essential questions and can-do statements, so that everything we study is connected to real-life situations and practical communication skills. Grammar is never ignored, but introduced briefly and practiced lightly—just enough to support your progress without slowing you down.
Each lesson has a balance of structure and creativity. A usual session may include:
Warm-up / Conversation starter – short speaking activity to get into Russian mode.
New concept or theme introduction – presented clearly and simply, with examples.
Practice – interactive tasks, games, or discussions that reinforce the material.
Authentic input – a video, audio clip, or short text to see how the language works in real life.
Speaking & application – guided conversation or role-play to use new vocabulary and grammar naturally.
Wrap-up & reflection – quick review of what we learned + setting small goals for next time.
