Real-Life Russian: From Zero to Confident Speaking

From 23 £ /h

If you want to master Russian without boring memorization, outdated textbooks, or psychological barriers, you are in the right place. As a certified linguist, translator, and holder of a Master's degree in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL / Glottodidactics), I focus on clear logic, modern communicative methods, and real-life context.

What to expect from lessons with me:
- Adaptive, ADHD-friendly learning pace with interactive digital materials.
- Focus on natural speaking practice from lesson one.
- Clear explanations through comparative linguistics (using English, French, or Polish as bridge languages).
- Practical Russian for work, travel, and everyday life.

About Me

Hi!
I’m a certified linguist, translator, and language tutor holding a Master’s degree in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (Glottodidactics). I speak four languages fluently—English, Polish, French, and Russian—and have spent over 7 years working in international projects and multicultural environments across Europe.

For me, teaching isn't about rigid lectures or boring grammar drills—it’s about partnership, curiosity, and genuine connection. I strive to make every lesson a comfortable, judgment-free space where you feel safe making mistakes and celebrating progress. Having ADHD myself, I know that sitting through monotone exercises drains all motivation. That’s why our sessions are dynamic, visually rich, and tailored to keep you stimulated, whether we are breaking down a complex grammar pattern through clear logic or simulating a real conversation.

My tutoring methods:
Comparative & Logical: Because I speak 4 languages, I know where the false friends, tricky sounds, and grammatical shortcuts hide. I explain new concepts using parallels to languages you already know.
Speaking from Day One: We focus on active, authentic language use rather than passive memorization.
Modern & Adaptive Materials: Interactive digital whiteboards, real-life articles, and bite-sized notes instead of dry paper textbooks.

Who my classes are for:
I love working with curious adults, expats, professionals, and students who want to speak confidently in everyday life, integrate smoothly into a new culture, or navigate international workplaces. If you’ve ever felt "stuck," overwhelmed by traditional courses, or anxious about speaking, my lessons are built to help you overcome those barriers at your own rhythm. I look forward to meeting you in class and starting our language journey together!

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Preparation for TCF Canada, DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

I have a master's degree in business engineering and international trade, a certification in French as a Foreign Language and a master's degree in teaching.
I use fun and interactive methods with lots of language practice.
I can help you write your CV and cover letter, and practice for job interviews.

I offer sessions adapted to the needs and pace of each learner.

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.

My 1-1 tutoring sessions are flexible. I typically design a curriculum tailored to the student, aligned to Common Core Standards. However, if you have homework you need help with, or a test coming up you need to prepare for, I am happy to help with that too! I am particularly happy to help you with writing. I have coached students in essay writing, creative writing, and speech writing for contests, resulting in two shortlisted finalists, one second-place winner, and one first-place winner among over 200 entrants!

I have extensive experience helping students improve their reading and writing skills with great success. This includes writing structure and content development, grammar, punctuation, spelling, phonics, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and more. Whatever your ELA or ESL needs are, I can help you meet your goals.

This class is for anyone who wants to learn or improve their Brazilian Portuguese, whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge of the language.

The lessons are adapted to your goals and can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, or a combination of these. You will learn how to communicate more naturally in Brazilian Portuguese and understand how the language is actually used in everyday situations.

If your goal is conversation, we can use topics that interest you to build your vocabulary and speaking confidence. I take notes during our conversations and give you corrections and feedback without constantly interrupting you, so you can speak freely while still learning from your mistakes.

If you want to improve your grammar, we will focus on the structures you actually need and how they are used in real Brazilian Portuguese. I also like to explain the difference between textbook Portuguese and the way Brazilians naturally speak.

Pronunciation can also be part of our lessons, including sounds that are often challenging for learners, such as the nasal sounds in words like *pão*, *não* and *vão*. The goal is clear and natural communication, rather than trying to eliminate your accent.

Every lesson is adapted to your level, interests and learning needs. Whether you are learning Portuguese for travel, work, relationships, studies, or simply because you love the language and Brazilian culture, we can build the lessons around your goals.
