My name is Hanna, and I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is to love what I teach and those to whom I teach.

The first class is devoted to identifying your level of Russian language proficiency.

With my students, I work on
1) listening comprehension,
2) correct pronunciation,
3) reading comprehension,
4) expansion of vocabulary,
5) learning grammar,
6) elimination of letter-by-letter reading,
7) mirror writing (N-И, R-Я) (with children).

I am an extreme opponent of cramming and learning something that is not useful to you in everyday life and day-to-day conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential.

I will help you to fall in love with Russian and to make progress day by day 😊

that the student feels comfortable and together we will develop a personalized study plan that best suits each student's performance and pace. (ESTIMATED TIME DESIRED BY THE SERVICE PURCHASER)

The service includes almost 24/7 availability via WhatsApp for questions and emergencies. Furthermore, resources designed exclusively for the student are guaranteed to minimize the traditional memorization method and provide alternative learning tools that can be used not only in primary and secondary school but also as a foundation for future high school and vocational training.

As a teacher, I have experience in learning situations and developing quality classes rather than quantity.

Furthermore, on a personal level, I have values that I always like to transmit to my students since I have practiced competitive karate for more than 8 years, as well as having been at the conservatory for 6. These disciplines seek to promote discipline and commitment as well as dynamism.

In my support as a private tutor there is no such thing as "going too slowly" or "being behind schedule" since each student's pace is different and you just have to find a method and the necessary support to achieve the right approach.
