Travel Russian
To really enjoy your vacation in a foreign country, you need to be able to communicate not only with professional guides who speak fluent English, but also with local residents. The Russian for Travel course gives you the knowledge you need to travel around Russia, helps you overcome language barriers, and manage any situations.
Guided sightseeing trips are just a formal familiarization with the sights of Russia. Many tourists prefer to travel themselves, without being accompanied by travel agencies. They communicate with residents, go not only to museums, where they can be provided with professional guides, but also to shops, walks, and so on. In such places, you cannot do without spoken Russian. When checking-in a hotel, you must be able to fill-in forms, converse with the staff. In the store, you may need to ask to show the product, pay at the pay-office. In emergencies, it is important to be able to communicate with the police, special services, doctor, describe the problem and ask for help. All these topics are also included in the Travel Russian language course.
The content and duration of the course depends on the student’s goal, his/her age, initial level of language. The curriculum includes intensive speaking practice, each lesson is conducted in a dialogue mode. I explain complicated vocabulary and grammatical topics based on certain situations that are typical for a tourist to face. The training does not encompass unnecessary topics, but only those that are required in the traveler everyday life.
Expertise
For the convenience of my students, I identify some of the most popular learning directions.
For students who need language skills in a specific field, I offer specialized courses. For example, learning English for work will allow the student to increase language competence in Customs Service, logistics, economics, job interviews, and so on. For students whose professional activity requires knowledge of the Russian language, I can help master Russian language for work.
Each of these and other courses focuses on increase and accumulating vocabulary for specific goals.
Age
Curriculum for each age category has its own learning content. It is specific and relevant for each particular age and social status.
I teach teenagers topics that are appropriate for their age: school curriculum, chatting with fellows, hobbies, and so on. High school graduates and university students require more sophisticated programs to prepare for various local and international exams.
Adults are provided to study a foreign language for work, business activity and travelling.
My high international qualification allows me to realize any of these tasks which students face, and assist them to obtain required foreign language skills.

Why me
Customized curriculum
The essence of my approach is my own method of selection of active relevant vocabulary for each student individually. Tasks and curriculum are customized for everyone, depending on his/her type of thinking, speed of perception, learning goal, age, and so on. I don’t adapt you for teaching methods, I adapt teaching methods for you.
Massive speaking practice
Massive speaking practice in classes. Everyone has abilities to speak foreign language. You have them too. I pull them out of you and activate. From 4-6th lesson step by step, you start to speak. It doesn’t depend on your initial level. It’s not magic – it’s professionalism.
Comprehensible explanation
I explain complex things in a simple and comprehensible way. Based on your type of thinking, strengths and weaknesses in learning, initial level, I use such wording to make the principles and aspects of the language clear to you. When it’s clear and understandable it’s not scary.
Fluency
I am a fluent speaker of both languages, as I have been living, studied, and worked abroad (in 5 countries) for many years. Fluent speaking + excellent education + huge experience = professionalism.
Statistics
Qualification
