why me?

One class with me includes:

• personal preparation for the class (1-on1/group: depends on students' interests, physiological traits, group dynamic, goals)
• class itself
• preparing & sending assignments after the class
• assignments check-up after the class
• sending correction after after the class
My approach
I use several aspects during a class:
- a well-designed student's book
- my practical worksheets that help you dribble grammar aspects as a built-in skill
- a great variety of short videos in Russian that help even beginners to understand spontaneous native speech with my help. I believe it is very important to start listening to authentic speech as soon as possible, and in my experience it will boost your listening skills.
- I can explain things in English, French or Spanish though I prefer to use the Russian language and demand! a response in Russian ;) it has long been justified students tend to use the language sooner, better and deeper without other language-helper
in 1 month (for the beginners)

you'll be able to read, define gender of nouns, conjugate some part of the verbs, make and understand simple phrases.
in 3,5 months

you will be able to communicate with natives on simple topics;
let them know your basic needs, understand basic conversations;
interact in a simple way in present/past tense;
grammatical aspects of 3 cases.
in 5,5 months

you will be able talk about the future, use verbs of motion;
we will add 3 more cases;
you will be able to insist on things and ask for them with using the Imperative.
if you are already a b1-b2 learner

we will deepen your knowledge and expand your boundaries in grammar, speaking, vocabulary, reading & listening:
playing with suffixes and prefixes, types of verbs, conditionals, subjunctive moods and passive voice

RULES

Monthly payment in advance

● at the beginning to know each other and feel the vibe, 100% prepayment for each lesson 24h before the class (two weeks possible)

● when realize that we are ready to work together - prepayment for a month in advance,
no later than the 7th of the current month
Being late for class

if the student is late, the class won't be prolonged, if the teacher is late - it will be/or next class will be longer.
if the student is absent for 20 min without any heads-up - the class is considered done and paid (except for abrupt internet loss and nature catastrophies, they are rescheduled)
Сancellation of classes

● lessons are not cancelled, but rescheduled:
within two weeks the lesson must be resumed at a time convenient for both parties;
otherwise, the lesson will be cancelled & paid
(does not apply to absences due to illness/movement, in which case the lesson will be resumed at your availability);

● planned rescheduling of the lesson (holidays, concert, parties etc.) must be notified at least:
24 hours in advance on weekdays
48 hours for weekends!
otherwise the lesson will not be recalculated or rescheduled; please, respect my time.

● in force majeure situations beyond the student's control (including long-term treatment), the lesson will be rescheduled;
or if this is not possible, the full cost will be refunded to the student, including the cost of the missed class and subsequent missed ones (PaySend fee is on my part in this case);

● if force majeure situations occur with high frequency, unfortunately we will have to stop our co-operation.
It is important for me to see the results of my work.

Speaking/reading clubs:
classes are held due to the schedule;
the participant buys a subscription which includes 4 sessions (no later than 2 hours before the the first club);
if missed a meeting, the participant will not be charged;
if the time does not suit you, let me know & give me your time zone ;)
Classes per week

2 times a week is a recommendation
once a week is possible

Speaking:
as many classes as you wish though regularity is key to success ;)

once a week

Сommunication with parents

● I am always glad to give feedback to the parents; don't hesitate, you have my contacts, please, feel free to contact me to check on your kid's progress :)
● I always notify parents about systematic tardiness, failure to complete work, other situations that hinder learning.
Should be noted that I am always ok to meet student's needs, as situations in life are different, however, with the experience that I had in the past, now I would like to respect my time & give me an advance notice of any changes in the timetable.

In turn, I also organise my schedule to ensure regular lessons, and only in extreme cases I may ask you to reschedule the lesson, informing you in advance so that you can plan this time.

The rules I created by my personal & professional experience, so I am positive that this will save our time, your money, my energy, so alohas and good luck to everyone!
those who are ready - I'm waiting for your message ;)
