If you're learning Russian for academic, professional, or personal reasons, you can sign up for Jacksonville Russian lessons provided by Varsity Tutors. There are many good reasons to learn a foreign language, and Russian is the Slavic language most commonly spoken throughout Eastern Europe. More than 150 million people speak Russian as their first language, and a total of more than 265 million people speak Russian worldwide. It's the official language of Russia and three other countries, and one of the official languages of the United Nations. Knowing Russian can open many doors for you within the United States and around the globe.
Varsity Tutors offers online lessons in either a virtual classroom format or one-on-one instruction, and it's possible to get tutoring in person, as well. You can sign up for either of these choices or a mix of both.
What advantages do the different types of Jacksonville Russian lessons offer?
The decision as to which type of lessons you should choose should be based partly on your preferences and partly on your individual circumstances.
Whether you take classroom or individual lessons, you'll have the opportunity to learn Russian from an expert instructor who has proven their knowledge and communication skills. You can get immediate feedback from your instructor on pronunciation, use of the Cyrillic alphabet's 32 letters, and other aspects of Russian that can be tricky at first. Once you learn the Cyrillic alphabet, words are almost all written just how they sound so once you have the alphabet and its sounds down, it can be easier to learn Russian pronunciation than English.
If you're energized by working with a variety of other students in addition to an expert instructor, you may prefer the classroom lessons. If you learn things like vocabulary and common phrases, grammar, and sentence structure at approximately the same rate as others, you may fit right into a classroom where you can trade ideas and suggestions with your fellow students. Collaborative learning situations are known to enhance your ability to learn and retain information, which is important in language classes.
If you're having trouble with a particular language aspect such as vocabulary memorization, you have many people to get suggestions from. Your instructor can offer proven memorization techniques, and your classmates can offer suggestions of practices they've used that have worked for them. If you continue to have trouble with a particular concept, you can request individual lessons with your instructor in addition to your regular class time.
If you feel more comfortable learning from a single trusted instructor who can spend each customized lesson focusing on your specific needs, then you'll probably prefer to work with a Jacksonville Russian tutor. You may learn more efficiently because of the individual attention. For example, you can work on your reading of an original Tolstoy of Dostoevsky passage until it's perfected without being interrupted by other activities. Your instructor can help you practice different memorization methods until you find what works best for you.
Whichever lesson type you choose, learning a new language is probably going to be challenging. With the help of your Jacksonville Russian tutor or class instructor, you can use methods like spaced repetition, simulated immersion, and plenty of speaking and listening practice to hone your skills and become increasingly fluent in the language. As you learn, your brain makes new connections that can help you as you move forward. There's no need to study the Russian language on your own when Varsity Tutors is just a phone call away.
Sounds good. How can I get started with Jacksonville Russian lessons?
Whether you want supplemental study help for your Russian language class at Sandalwood High School or the University of North Florida, for a work-sponsored program, or if you're learning on your own before going on a vacation or speaking to relatives in their native language, it's easy to sign up for Jacksonville Russian lessons. You won't have to wait long to start, either. You could be meeting with a private instructor tomorrow if you want, and new classes begin each month.
Simply contact Varsity Tutors and speak with our educational consultants. You can ask them any questions you have and then tell them a bit about your current level of Russian fluency, your goals, and your schedule. This can help them set you up with a Jacksonville Russian tutor or enroll you in a class section that matches your unique set of circumstances. We look forward to being part of your path towards Russian fluency.
Kris: Jacksonville Russian lesson instructor
I believe that every student can learn any subject. The impact of a good teacher is crucial to student success. I like to use models, demos, examples, diagrams, video clips, and simulations to help students understand a concept. Learning should be fun and motivating. I use whatever method works to help a student succeed.

...other tools for teaching foreign languages. In order to do this, I constantly attend seminars, Webinars, and other education-related forums that are devoted to these topics. Besides all this, for 9 years I worked as a translator in Moscow in the office of a major German equipment manufacturer, and have hands-on, "real world" experience participating in the everyday life of a German corporation along with participating in international conferences in Dusseldorf, Cologne, and Munich.... I have been a foreign language teacher for 20 years and studying foreign languages for more than 35! My philosophy of teaching, therefore, has been influenced by my own reflections on studying languages, both as a teacher and as a student. My philosophy is that teaching must be both comprehensive and customized to each individual student. I believe learning should occur naturally, and that everyone can reach their learning potential and meet high expectations, if given the necessary support and opportunities. I believe that learning is not only an academic process - it is an emotional and social one and that a teacher should be a facilitator or a guide to learning, and not just transmit knowledge.

I love working with classrooms full of students, but I also love working with people one-on-one. I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.
