Russian in person by a native. Learn or improve in English\German.

Hey hey! You've clicked here - means you're on your way to learn or to improve your Russian skills with a native! Surely the task isn't easy at any point, but it's surely rewarding and fun (though sometimes in some masochistic ways, haha). I'm NOT a professional teacher, but helping friends and peers with some skills that I possess works pretty good for me, in my honest opinion.
With me you'll learn Russian in a more playful and intuitive form, allowing you to think less of the grammar and spelling rules and to juggle with it easily. I'll introduce you all of the greatest cultural niches and nuances, books and songs, films and memes. I prefer to do in person classes with the place chosen by a student, though i don't negate online possibilities. I'm ready to work with English and German speaking students of all ages :3.

About Me

A Russian native living in Amsterdam at the moment, though I tried to live in multiple countries in span of recent years: Germany, Italy, Bulgary. Decided to settle in for at least several years in the Netherlands as I've found a good bachelor's programm here which could supplement my previous degree.
Until recently I haven't realised that people often come to me with some tutoring asks, so I've decided to try to teach a language I'm genuinely fascinated with. In teaching people remark my calmness above other things - I feel never frustrated if someone struggles with any concept, as it's highly natural to do so. Among others ability to describe things in multiple ways is also one of my strengths, so hopefully I'll be able to explain anything in a clear and student-oriented way.

Education

Russian State Medical University (past). I've studied there for 6 years and now I'm in a process of diplom confirmation in the EU.
HvA Physiotherapy (in moment). It helps me to diverse a bit in the medical and wellness fields, as well as with other diploma confirmation.

Experience / Qualifications

English and German on C1 level.
Have been studying English since 5 years old, visited both English and American language camps. I'm especially proud of my German studies - managed to get to C1 level with practically 6 months of studies in Berlin, which became one of my most beloved cities.

English Tutoring with Holistic Approach for All Levels
English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills. Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid. In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals. Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
