    Learn how to cook with me for your health and for fun!

    I am a home-maker and I have been practising my home cooking for years. I would like to share my love of cooking with a broader audience. I cook a wide array of dishes; however, my favorites are Russian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cooking. I am also a baker and would love to share my baking secrets. I will text you prior to our lesson to determine what type of food you would like and set the menu for the lesson. Within the course of an hour you will have an appetizer and a main dish for your family and a tasty recipe to add to your collection.

    About Tatiana Z.

    4.9
    (66)
    In Moscow I was a professor for 20 years, and I am currently a full-time tutor of ESL, German, Russian, and Italian. I provide a variety of activities for my lessons so you will never get bored. For example, I will use games, interactive conversational lessons, fun warm up tasks, case studies, and even riddles. We will use authentic materials as well. You will learn conversational skills, formal writing skills, and test taking strategies all in a fun manner. I have a background as an experienced lecturer, teacher, and tutor in the field of linguistics (general linguistics, history of linguistics, psycolinguistics, social linguistics, gender studies). Since defending my dissertation, I have continued to do research in gender studies in the field of virtual communication and digital text, especially non-verbal communication, social networks and gender-specific communication. However, I have found that my true passion is helping students in one-on-one lessons. I have been travelling to Germany, Austria, Switzerland for fun and as an interpreter. I have Goethe-Institute certificate which proves my qualifications. Cancellation policy: 24 cancellation notice is required. Ask about special group pricing.

    Tatiana is a very good teacher. Her knowledge of languages is superb. She is very patient with me and adjusts to my pace and abilities. She takes time to answer my questions and varies her lessons to make them interesting and engaging, I've definitely made progress on my German since working with her.

    I highly recommend Tatiana as a tutor. She is patient yet persistent and has a keen sense of where help is needed. She introduced materials that pushed me and helped me stretch my reading comprehension and writing skills. It is evident that Tatiana loves language and languages and her dedication to learning inspired me to want to learn. I will miss our German sessions.

    My daughter took German lessons with Mrs. Tatiana, and the experience was exceptional. The lessons were engaging and tailored to her learning pace. The instructor was knowledgeable, and supplied great study resources. Overall, I would recommend online courses with Mrs. Tatiana for anyone who is looking to learn German.
