Hi All,
thank you for checking out my course.

This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul.

I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work.

You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

This isn’t about perfect essays or stiff story structures. Unlock Your Voice is a one-on-one creative writing space built to help people write like they actually feel something. Each session is personal, messy, and different, because every writer is.

We do a mix of everything: character sketches, short scripts, journal letters, even college essays, and whatever else helps you get the words out. Some days it’s about writing freely without overthinking. Other days it’s about pulling apart what you’ve written and finding the heartbeat inside it. There’s no pressure, no grades, just a lot of creative honesty and a few good laughs along the way.

This class is about more than writing well. It’s about finding your rhythm, trusting your thoughts, and learning how to express what you actually mean. By the end, you’ll have a small collection of original work that sounds like you and definitely not like ChatGPT.
