About me - English
Hi! I'm Tania. I’ve started teaching Russian language about 8 years ago. My first clients were expats in Moscow – working with big foreign companies as PR expert I was preparing speakers to Q&A sessions, some of them had to be mainly in Russian. Most of my clients had been struggling with Russian for a while already, desperately trying to start understanding and speaking Russian language, which all of them were calling “bloody difficult”. I had to take a deep dive into the world of Russian language teaching methods and handpicked the most advanced concepts, targeted to the minimum time and maximum efficiency. It was quite a challenge, but I figured out approaches which were really working – people started to hear, to understand and to speak.
Qualifications & Experience
Today I’m a professional TESOL teacher with Master’s Degree from Arizona State University and Russian language tutor focused on business audience and students, who're preparing themselves for a highly competitive corporate environment. Depending on your goals and timings I offer advanced teaching method and efficient individualized programs for the professionals, who need to start communicating in Russian in a very short time. You can reach the Intermediate level and take the exam of Russian as a foreign language (TORFL-1) within 3–4 months, practicing 3 hours (180 minutes) a day (15 hours a week).
