Spoken French is often quite different from what we learn in textbooks. In conversation, people use a lot of slang, contractions, and regional expressions that aren’t typically taught. For example, instead of saying “je suis,” you’ll often hear “j’suis,” and “voiture” becomes “bagnole.” Sometimes words are omitted, and people use fillers like “genre” or “quoi” to fill pauses. These differences are very common and can be properly learned mainly after living for some time in France.

I spend time on building a strong and solid foundation in grammar and fundamentals even if it could take some time. Once I’m confident that the material is well-understood, I move with. student to more advanced topics.

I am very familiar with the structure of the DELF exam, as I passed it myself to enter a French university. What it requires the most is motivation, as some topics may seem challenging. However, as I mentioned, with enough determination, it is more than possible to pass.

I have had the opportunity to teach children as a part-time job, working with both Russian and English-speaking households. The time spent with children has helped me develop new teaching methods that effectively capture their attention and keep them engaged in the lessons.

For the ЕГЭ, I guide students through the specific demands of the Russian system, from lexicon to structured production.

I prepare students for the TCF with a methodical focus on comprehension, grammatical precision, and expressive clarity.

I personally passed the OGE with the highest score (5). Experiencing the exam firsthand gave me a clear understanding of what a student might go through, including the pressure and the types of questions that may appear. For this reason I have an idea of how to effectively deliver the material to avoid any confusion during the exam itself.

I am confident in teaching middle and high school students, following the curriculum they are part of.
