About
Elena Korobova
My name is Elena, I'm a native speaker of Russian. I’m a professional Russian tutor and I’ve been teaching Russian over the internet, full-time, through my own registered business since 2007. Before that I taught English in a language school, and I have eleven years of teaching experience altogether. I also own a website for learners of Russian.
I believe that each student is different, so I always do my best to adapt my lessons to your needs and your learning style. However, I don’t think it’s possible to teach “only grammar” or “only conversation”. I offer my students a lot of conversation practice, but also grammar, vocabulary, listening and writing exercises. I also think that learning vocabulary is really important. You can’t build a wall if you don’t have any bricks, you can’t speak a foreign language if you don’t know any words. That’s why after each lesson I make on-line flashcards for my students to help them revise the new words.
And, last but not least, I really love teaching, so I always try to make my lessons fun and as enjoyable as possible for both my students and myself. My philosophy is to simplify things, not to complicate them, and I can prove to you that learning a foreign language is easier than you might think.
