Tutor
Hello! I am a professional, experienced, patient and friendly Russian and English teacher. I started working as a language tutor when I was 18, and have a big experience of teaching English to non-English and Russian to non-Russian. Traveling and living in foreign countries, together with my education, made me understand culture and intercultural difference very well.
Here is a little bit about my education:
2007 Candidate of Science (PhD) in Teaching Russian as Foreign Language, Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
2003 Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages/ Applied Linguistics, 2003 University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa
2002 Master of Arts in Linguoculturology, Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
2000 Bachelor of Arts in Teaching Russian as Foreign Language, Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
Now about my experience…
Many years of tutoring (English and Russian) ages 6 to 30.
2 years of teaching Russian at the University of Northern Iowa
Tutoring American students of ASPRYAL in St.Petersburg – another 2 years.
I have taught not only general English and Russian, but also Translation, Literature, Intercultural Communication, and Phonetics. So if you are interested in any of these, please let me know.
Experience of successful online teaching (started on Verbalplanet)
Yulia is very friendly and a native Russian speaker. I recommend you contact her if you need to learn Russian or English.
Юлия замечательный преподаватель и весёлый, доброжелательный человек. Её уроки грамотно построены, всегда очень интересны и насыщенны. Благодаря этим занятиям, мой английский заметно улучшился! Рекомендую!
Юлия - прекрасный профессиональный преподаватель и милая девушка, уроки проходят очень интересно.
Я учу английский и всем рекомендую уроки с Юлией!!
I have had the good fortune of taking Russian classes from Julia in person. She made the classes quite enjoyable while continually challenging me. Julia takes great interest in seeing that her efforts are successful and is very much liked by her students. Julia has had many years of experience in both classroom and one on one settings and has excellent knowledge of both Russian and English languages. This is an opportunity to learn from a skilled, experienced, and professional instructor at a great price.
Yulia is a wonderful teacher! I met her when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Northern Iowa, and she was my Russian language teacher. She really cares about her students, giving them extra help when needed and really making an effort to help them understand. I stayed with her family as an exchange student in Russia, and was able to observe her do a lot of tutoring during this time, as well as get to know her better as a person. She is a very patient, flexible and thorough teacher, a good listener, and a caring friend. Her manner is always professional while she is on the job, and she challenges her students while remaining supportive and encouraging. I also found her to have an exhaustive knowledge and masterful usage of both the English and Russian languages and literature. I would often ask her questions about English grammar as well as Russian, although English is my native tongue, and she always had a well-explained answer to my question!
I am an American physician who is learning Russian for work-related purposes. Yulia is currently teaching me conversational and written Russian.
I have found Yulia to be very skilled in teaching Russian with an upbeat and helpful style. I am very pleased to always have written lessons e-mailed to me before our lesson, since I can review the lesson both before and after my personalized virtual class. Yulia also personalizes my homework to strengthen my weak points.
I am grateful to be working with Yulia. She is an excellent instructor.
