elena's Professional Information

I provide one-on-one or group instructions and tutoring for all levels of experience. On-line Skype sessions are also available. I provide learning materials for all levels. I will make you improve your verbal expression, pronunciation,listening, reading and writing skills. I can help you converse more fluently, prepare for any exam or test. You will be able to discuss any topic. Classes are always planned individually for each student (group of students in the same class). The class will emphasize the communication skills appropriate to various contexts, such as conversation among friends and the dynamics of everyday speech.

Introductory course will introduce you to basic Russian grammar. Through intensive use of authentic materials and a strong emphasis on the spoken word in activities you will be proficient in reading, listening comprehension, writing and reading. You will have homework assignments prior to a lesson. Intermediate Course will enhance your abilities to speak, read, write Russian. This course has a strong conversational emphasis. Advanced course conducted almost entirely in Russian. The course designed for those who can speak fairly fluently and need to polish up writing and speaking skills. The course includes reading and discussions mass media, special texts and Russian literature. Business Course combines either introductory or intermediate (advanced) lessons with emphasis on business expressions, useful phrases and vocabulary.

I graduated with Masters from MGSU, Moscow. Additional studies: State Course of Ministry of Foreign Affaires, State Course of Foreign Languages. I've taught Russian to English and French speakers for several years. I use C L T as my teaching method, progressive "recognized approach". Beyond grammatical and discourse elements in communication, CLT is probing the nature of social, cultural and pragmatic features of language. It explores pedagogical means for "real-life" communication in the classroom. I use CLT to develop linguistic fluency, not just accuracy that has so consumed their historical journey. I try to use techniques that focus on learners' needs and goal, that give some control to the student, allow for student creativity and innovation, enhance a student's sense of competence and self-worth.
