Tutor in New York, New York

I am a native speaker of Russian,originally from St. Petersburg, an independent scholar and a published award-winning poet with 15 years of Russian Language and Culture teaching experience in the United States. I studied philology at the Gertsen Pedagogical University, St.Petersburg and the University of Washington, Seattle. I hold a PH.D in Russian Language and Literature from the University of Washington (2005), where I also taught all levels of Russian language and culture for 8 years. Subsequently I taught culture and language classes at Bellevue Community College and at the Seattle Language Academy. I also have an extensive experience in private teaching. I have taught American native speakers and Russian heritage speakers of all ages in Seattle and NYC. As I teach, I use the most entertaining methodology and techniques, yet I offer a thorough and professional approach to language acquisition. My students learn in a fun and culturally enriched environment. My rates are flexible. I can come to you or you can come to me for your lessons. Individuals and groups (children and adults) are welcome.
