Hello, I am a highly skilled teacher originally from Estonia, with Russian as my native language. I have been residing in the UK for the past 14 years. For over 10 years, I have been teaching Russian at an international school, specializing in GCSE and A-Levels courses. I also completed the recent Russian GCSE and A-Level courses by Pearson with the latest exam updates. All my students passed Russian GCSE with grades 8 and 9, and A-Levels with grades A and A*. I also teach adult groups and children from 4 years old.

I mostly teach offline in a Russian school and privately. A few months ago, I decided to move online to have more freedom. I finished courses on online teaching to be more effective. I also have a degree in Psychology, which helps me find the right way to teach each child and keep them interested in lessons.

In Estonia, I worked as a teacher for 15 years, so I have been teaching all my adult life and truly love the process and seeing the results. I also have access to the latest GCSE and A-Level past papers to keep my lessons up to date.

Tutoring Experience

I worked as a psychologist in an Estonian school, assisting students with learning difficulties and teaching psychology. I hold a pedagogical degree as well. After relocating to the UK, I started working at an International Saturday School as a Russian teacher. During the week, I served as a teacher assistant in an English school. I successfully completed the 'Ready to Teach New Russian GCSE' program by Pearson. Many of my online and offline students have achieved outstanding success, passing the Russian GCSE with a grade of 9.

Tutoring Approach

With over 10 years of experience in online teaching, I've worked with students ranging from 4 years old to adults. I possess the ability to keep young learners engaged during virtual lessons, employing effective techniques to make the learning experience enjoyable. My expertise extends to motivating teenagers, encouraging their interest in learning Russian for GCSE and A Levels.

Additionally, I am well-versed in accent improvement techniques and adept at teaching adults at various stages of proficiency. All my GCSE and A-Level students have achieved a 100% pass rate, with a minimum grade of 8 or A.

As a dedicated teacher, I have diligently cultivated a dynamic teaching environment that is neither stressful nor dull. Online teaching has enhanced my interaction with students and, when necessary, their parents on an individual basis, making the learning experience more interactive. Notably, even amid the challenges of remote learning, my students have shown a continued commitment to their studies.

I always keep in mind that different students have different learning styles, be it auditory, visual, or a mix of both. My commitment is to provide the best possible learning experience, ensuring that my students not only learn effectively but also have fun in the process.
