Frida Gudim

I am a professional Russian language teacher. I currently work for a few language schools in Moscow and abroad. I have over a decade of Russian language teaching experience and a master’s degree in Russian Language and Literature from Lomonosov Moscow State University. My Russian language courses follow a communicative approach to language teaching. Our lessons focus on language that is required for communicating in authentic situations with an emphasis on speaking and listening. You will learn via role-playing, grammar activities and discussion sessions. We focus on practicing everyday phrases. I promise to explain Russian grammar in an easy to understand way. We touch on Russian culture too, so that you know how to make Russian friends and avoid making faux pas. My program for Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate students includes reading and speaking practice, focusing on newspaper and magazine articles, books and films; I also focus on the more complicated aspects of Russian grammar and specialize in preparing students for the TRKI exam (all levels). I can prepare a customized program for each student/group. It can focus on General Russian, Conversational Russian, or Business Russian, anything the students might need to live/work in Russia. I provide individual and group lessons, including lessons via Skype.
