러시아어 과정. 레벨 3.

"Nobody can teach you a language. You have to LEARN it. The learning materials and the teacher are significant, but the most important element in every learning situation is YOU". 

"In the moments when the brain is busy making new neuron connections while you are studying and tells you it is uncomfortable and it doesn't want to learn anymore -  remember! YOU are in charge and you tell your brain what to do, and not the other way around". 



Привет, ребята! 

Меня зовут Ms Tanya and I am a native Russian speaker 🇷🇺

📚 I teach Russian language Courses for English speakers: 1 set of Courses for learners 8-13 years old, and another set of Courses for teenagers 13-18 years old. Learners can start from absolute 0 and progress through the Course series to higher-Intermediate and Advanced Levels. 

I also teach additional Russian language classes and help students in private classes. 

✏️ My lessons with Outschool learners tend to be very structured and each activity has its purpose. Though I consider myself to be a calm individual, I receive a lot of feedback from parents and learners that my lessons are fun and engaging. It brings me joy seeing learners progress and learn something new. 

👩‍🎓 I have a vast teaching background working in daycare, public schools, private school, church, winter and summer camps, and with in-home tutoring students. I worked with children as young as 1 year old and as old as 17! 
I have earned two years towards BA in Elementary Education from Moscow State Pedagogical University (МПГУ), in Russia. Then I moved from Russia and finished my education in the United States. I hold an AA in Elementary Education (Community College of Aurora, CO) and a BA in Education with Emphasis on Elementary Math (MSU Denver, CO). I have worked at Denver Public Schools for 3 years. And now I teach on Outschool. 

⭐️I love reading books, learning new languages (I am primarily learning Spanish), playing musical instruments (cello is my favorite), and making delicious vegetarian meals for my family.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

❓Q1. What level is my child? She has been studying Russian for a while now. 
✅A1. Since there are different curriculums and teachers, it's hard to tell what level your child is without meeting the child. Ms Tanya is offering an assessment for a flat fee of $20 per learner to see which of the classes that she is offering would be the best fit for your child. The assessment will last anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on the child’s level. 

❓Q2. Do you have a certain availability for a group class? Private class?
✅A2. I try to schedule classes at different times of the day. If you don’t see a time that fits your schedule, let me know by sending me a private message. I might have an opening that is just right for you. 

❓Q3. My child is already pretty good at speaking Russian but needs help with reading/writing/grammar. What class should I sign him/her up for? 
✅A3. If your child is already fluently speaking Russian or is rather good at speaking Russian but cannot read or write, you will need to sign up for bilingual classes. Ms Tanya is currently offering Russian as a Foreign Language group and private classes ranging from levels A0 to B2. Bilingual curriculum at this time is only available through private classes. 

❓Q4. Do you offer Russian immersion group classes?
✅A4. At this time, I only offer 1-on-1 Russian immersion classes for kids ages 8 and up.
