Привет! My name is Olga. I am teacher and owner of “Russian classes in Rotterdam”.

I am Ukrainian, but Russian is my native language and it was also my major at University. I`ve got my master`s in Russian Philology and I also took specialized courses on teaching Russian as a foreign language.

I have 10 years of experience in teaching Russian. I was working in 3 countries with students of different ages and backgrounds, teaching individual and group classes.

The method I use helps to acquire the grammatical basis in a minimum of time without removal from real conversation. It is based on three main principles:

- daily conversational situations

- the current lexical minimum

- the current grammatical minimum

My goal is to show from the first levels how does Russian language work, to give for students the “grammatical skeleton”, which can be used in any conversational topic and situation.

My lessons are well structured and effective. And I simply love to help people in their learning process. Besides teaching, I enjoy writing books. I am an author of 2 books for children that were published in my home country, Ukraine. And I also write stories for Russianspeaking bilingual kids.
