Russian doctoral student at the École Normale Supérieure gives courses in Russian language and literature

From 48.23 £ /h

Discover the Cyrillic alphabet with classical and contemporary poets? Learn basic vocabulary by listening to cult Russian songs and watching Gaidai's comedies? Chat easily and make jokes in Russian with Chekhov's characters? For me, language and its cultural universe are inseparable, which is why my approach goes beyond monotonous grammar exercises by highlighting the relationship between language and culture in the broadest sense. I prefer games and dialogue to cramming. Experience shows that lessons are more effective when they are first and foremost a pleasure: a pleasure of sharing for me and a pleasure of discovery for you.
About me:
- doctoral student in philosophy at the ENS in Paris
- graduated in literature (Maxim Gorky Institute of Literature, Moscow)
- - 8 years of experience in private lessons: academic support, refresher courses, introductory and advanced courses, preparation for international exams and the baccalaureate (20/20 in the Russian baccalaureate of one of my students in 2025).
- I also offer help with writing, proofreading and translation into Russian.
- Native Russian, I speak fluent French and English

Interested in Russian? Do you already have a little patience? a lot of passion? of curiosity and love for learning? all you need is to find a good teacher? You are in the right place :)

I find it remarkable that my first student, starting 14 months after our first meeting, knows how to hold a good conversation in very difficult Russian and on various subjects and does not need to speak French at all to make me understand his ideas! It's a miracle? Or just the result of our work ?! Since then my teaching methodology has been enhanced by the chance to meet students from different countries, literally from all professional backgrounds and ages, with different interests, dreams, hobbies, needs. This year, one of my students was able to catch up with 2 years of learning Russian in 2 months and there he follows courses at the college with other schoolchildren for whom it is the 3rd year of learning the Russian language at school. So, are we breaking new records together? :)
I'm not going to teach you these 'robot' phrases, my real intention is only to make you love the language, our culture, our traditions, to make you understand our logic, way of living, of seeing things and much sure to teach you to speak the language! And to achieve this, I carefully prepare my lessons drawing inspiration from different sources such as Russian textbooks as the foreign language (all levels from A1 to C2) grammar books, videos, songs, articles press, exam models, I myself make little 'surprise' cards or I imagine little games to make my students revise and reinforce the knowledge received and of course, why not a little Russian literature. Let's learn some wonderful quotes from the poem of the great poet Marina Тsvetaeva or why not share some wonderful lines from Gogol's creation 'The Dead Souls' and of course, if you are not afraid, let's get lost somewhere on the ponds of the Patriarch of Bulgakov in 'The Master and Margarita' :) I would very much like my students to consider my lessons as a pleasure where they can receive solid knowledge while having fun :) I would be grateful and happy if you could share your time with me , your interests and the way you learn other languages and maybe together we could discover new learning methods that will be effective :)
PS I speak French and English so I can provide you with the necessary explanations in these two languages, I have no problem with that :)

See you soon!

Hello,

I would like to give lessons in Russian, Ukrainian and English for all ages.
As a teacher, I like to approach the language in a less academic aspect, but with just as much effectiveness.
I have already given private lessons and these experiences have always been positive.

Professional translator for almost 7 years, I easily navigate between the following languages (French, English, Russian, Ukrainian).
Linguistically reliable, fast and extremely attentive to tone and details, I specialize particularly in the subjects of social sciences, culture and fun. However, thanks to a very diversified experience with various clients, I also acquired a great experience in technical, scientific, IT, commercial, advertising, tourist and industrial translation.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to consult my CV, if you wish to know more about my specialties, or if you want to know more about my past experiences.

Yours,

Tanya

Learning a foreign language can be quite stressful. No stress here: we will adapt our courses to your pace so that you can achieve your goals in a relaxed atmosphere.

I am not a follower of a single methodology, the needs varying from one learner to another. This is why I prepare my lessons according to the expectations of my students to personalize them as much as possible.

Learning a new language involves listening, speaking, reading, writing, sometimes even a new alphabet and writing format. Besides having more chances of landing a good job or advancing in your career, learning a second language can also give you an insight into other cultures. You will be more prepared and confident to travel the world and explore other people's ways of living.
You will learn how to make sentences, make a dialog and speak with native speakers.

My classes take place online or face-to-face via the Google Meet platform. Ideally, we will work individually, but if you wish, it is possible to organize lessons in small groups of maximum 5 people.

Depending on your age and level, the method followed will vary, but we will work on all the aspects necessary for learning a language. There will therefore be content centered on the written as well as the oral, and on expression as well as on understanding. I am a patient and pedagogical person, and I will make sure to go at a pace that suits you.

If a student is particularly interested in Russian culture in general, supplements on the great authors of Russian literature or Soviet cinematography can be added. Lessons on the vocabulary of specific fields such as legal Russian or medical Russian can also be organized, according to the specific needs of the students.

The first session will be devoted to defining your objectives, your current level, as well as your difficulties. In the case of children or adolescents attending school, we will come back to what has been seen in class and help with homework can be provided.

My name is Andrey and I’m a native Russian 🇷🇺 teacher living in Paris. My extensive experience allows me to vary my teaching styles. The communicative approach is the cornerstone of my teaching style but I also place a strong emphasis on pronunciation, especially when it comes to teaching Russian. For any language, I tend to select teaching materials that align with the student's personal or professional interests.

Take a look at some of my reviews (not all of them are here) and let them paint the picture for you.

In terms of my background, I have degrees in teaching French and English, and I've also studied legal translation and IT law. I've been immersed in language teaching for nearly 13 years now. My passion lies in both learning and teaching languages.

I worked with English-speaking executives from various private and public institutions, including banks and government administrations. They all now speak Russian. I know how to quickly adjust to changes in teaching methods depending on your goals. Whether you’re looking to practice conversational Russian, improve your pronunciation, prepare for an exam or a job interview I’d be happy to help you.

I offer Russian lessons for children, teenagers, and adults. Each class is tailored to your needs: conversation, grammar, writing, or exam preparation.
My approach is interactive and personalized: we learn by playing, by exchanging and through living media — film extracts, songs, articles or literary texts.
Learning Russian also means discovering its culture, history, and way of seeing the world. My courses will immerse you in this richness while progressing at your own pace.
