Experienced Native Russian tutor and pedagogue

Привет! Как дела? Hello, I’m Alla, a native Russian speaker from the beautiful city of St.-Petersburg. Travelling has been my lifelong passion, and in that time I’ve enjoyed visiting many beautiful places around the world, experiencing different cultures, and meeting wonderful people. This is how I developed a passion for languages. My mother tongue is Russian, however, I am also fluent in German and English. Currently, I am also learning the beautiful language of Italian. I am an educated tutor; having obtained a Degree in Social Law, I have always enjoyed the teaching process. In May 2011, I successfully passed the CBS examination at the Institute of Linguists in London. In February 2012 I completed the course Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have been teaching Russian since 2007 both privately and at schools. Throughout these years I had more than 70 happy students, who would pass their exams with excellent results. I also worked for the City of Bath College, Languages United school in Bath, and Linguistica Global Ltd. based in Cheltenham. Currently, I am working as a Russian Language Consulter at QA Ltd. in Cheltenham I believe that qualifications are essential, however, the most vital aspect when it comes to teaching, is to be passionate about it; and most of all making the entire experience enjoyable for both the student and the teacher.
