The core curriculum is based on the textbooks Дорога в Россию and Русский сезон, with an intensive focus on: • The six Russian grammatical cases • Verb tenses and aspects • Verbs of motion This structured course ensures students acquire essential linguistic skills for academic success in Russian-speaking environments.

    Independent Practitioner
    2016.01-2023.01(7 years)
    As an independent language teacher, I have provided online English, Russian, and German lessons for students aged 8–18 via Zoom. My work has focused on helping younger students (8–14) improve their general language skills and older students (16–18) prepare for the Russian state exam in English (ЕГЭ). To engage younger students, I have used well-known Cambridge resources such as the Fun for series and Kid's Box, along with interactive materials from the British Council and YouTube ESL songs. I carefully structure my lessons with a clear format: • Warm-up to engage students and review previous material • Main topic presentation using visuals and communicative techniques • Supported practice through guided exercises and games • Independent practice to develop confidence • Brain break to maintain focus and motivation • Revision and goodbye song to conclude on a positive note For exam preparation, I’ve developed a focused curriculum aligned with the requirements of the Russian educational system, including targeted grammar, vocabulary, listening, and speaking practice. I maintain a dedicated website, all4ege.com, where I offer guidance and support for exam preparation.
