Class Experience

This is a private class, so can be adapted if the learner has any particular requests or areas on which they would like to work. I will take into account whether the learner has any prior knowledge of Russian, but this is not essential. The aim of the class is to cover three main areas: letters, numbers and a short conversation. I will work quickly through the Russian alphabet, as an introduction to the lesson. Then I will cover the numbers from 1 - 20, including a short numbers song to help with memorising the first 10 digits. I will finish the lesson by teaching the learner how to greet someone in Russian, giving them the tools to hold a short conversation.
Learning Goals
The learner will be introduced to Russian letters, numbers and be able to hold a short conversation.

Supply List
I will attach a worksheet for each of the lesson objectives - letters, numbers and conversation. The worksheets can be printed off but if this is not possible, the student can follow along with a plain piece of paper and a pencil.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am currently studying English and Russian at the University of Exeter. I have a love of languages and a passion for all things Russian! I believe that learning a language should be fun and so I aim to tailor all my lessons to the individual learners, whether you are a beginner or have been learning Russian for a few years. This means that each student can get the most out of every lesson and still enjoy learning Russian. 

Russian is a beautiful but complex language. I like to use a variety of exercises and activities in every lesson to avoid endless lists and repetition. Speaking is, of course, also a crucial part of learning any language and so we will speak some Russian every lesson. This could be a few of the words we have learnt that day, or a full conversation - depending on the level at which you're studying. 

Learning about the culture of a country comes hand-in-hand with learning the language. Russia has a rich culture and I like to acknowledge this in my lessons. This could include activities from listening to songs or reading poems in Russian to looking at pictures of Russian festivals and celebrations. Progress is important, but we will work at the pace which is enjoyable and right for you.

I studied Russian for both GCSE and A-Level and I am now studying Russian as part of my joint honours degree. I am an enthusiastic and hard-working student about to enter my third year at university. As a tutor, I would like to use my ability to help other students of all ages and levels in their study of languages.
