Russian Lessons in Girard. Amazing Teachers.

I have a Russian wife, and currently living in Russia. I took a course and I have learned all the basic concepts, that I can teach you to start mastering the language.

Do you want to speak Russian? Are you interested in the Russian culture? Welcome to my lessons! I am a native Russian speaker with a degree in Linguistics from Tver State University, Russia. I live in Indiana and offer Russian lessons to everyone interested in learning the beautiful Russian language. I customize my lessons depending on the needs of my students but at all times I make sure my students spend a lot of time practicing speaking, building vocabulary and learning grammar along the way. I incorporate useful information on the Russian culture and mentality as well so that the "mysterious Russian soul" would not look too mysterious to you! ;)

Interactive methodology, fun and fast. I have developed several teaching methods, which I use during my classes. Together we will establish clear objectives for our lessons and will work on your grammar proficiency, listening and speaking skills, and accent neutrality.
