What kind of experience do you have?
I have got 10 years tutoring and 4 years teaching experience. I worked in state and independent schools, taught at the University and as a private tutor both back in the UK and overseas.

Having taught several business clients (from law, banking, SME sectors) I am confident that we can find your own way into Business Russian even if you have lack of time and should undergo for frequent business trips.

How much do you charge?
My hourly rate starts from £34 (discounted for students, UCL graduates, over 65s, members of the Vegetarian Society)

Where do you teach?
I come to students' home or offices in Central London. I also teach online via special elearning software (more robust than Skype).

When are you available?
I teach mostly in the mornings and evenings and am available during the weekends.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I mostly teach adult learners from the corporate world and not-for-profit organisations. However, I have tutored a number of University and high school students

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Enhanced CRB check

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I deliver live online lessons via special elearning software boasting audio and video transmissions, chat, whiteboard, sharing powerpoint applications and urls.

I can also teach via Skype and by phone when necessary (eg when you are on business trips or holidays with limited access to PC).

Where and with whom did you train?
I trained at the University of St Petersburg, Russia.

Tell me about some of your current students.
My current students are from the corporate world working for leading banks and hedge funds in London. they study Russian to use it when they occasionally visit Russia and work with Russian clients and partners.
I also have two students working in the public sector who enjoy the language as it brings them closer to the Russian culture (literature and theatre).
Finally, I tutor an A-level student who enjoys learning languages and has got particular passion for Russian.

Do you have a personal message for students?
'Not failure, but low aim, is crime' - these words by James Russell Lowell are totally applicable when we speak about learning languages.

'Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice'. /A. Chekhov/
