Varsity Tutors can help students studying Russian as a second language by getting them set up with comprehensive Minneapolis Russian lessons. Language courses are often required as part of a general education program at area schools such as Washburn Senior High School and the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. If you find yourself looking for additional opportunities to practice your language skills with an experienced Russian speaker, Minneapolis Russian lessons are an excellent option.
Russian is an intricate Slavic language that is one of the official languages of the United Nations. It is also an official language of four countries and has an estimated 265 million people that speak it as a main or second language. Having a strong grasp of this language could be beneficial while traveling or in the business world. Whether you are looking to start with the basics of Russian as a freshman at Henry Senior High School or you would like more advanced lessons, we can get you set up with the right resource for your needs and proficiency level.
What are the different benefits of each type of Minneapolis Russian lesson?
You can get enrolled in live, virtual classes or connected with a Minneapolis Russian tutor. There are benefits to each of these options and you may even find that a combination of both is the right path for you to reach for your language goals. Regardless of which option you go with, you will enjoy being taught by a highly qualified and patient instructor.
When learning a new language, it is vital to have multiple opportunities to practice. Speaking, hearing, reading, and writing Russian on a regular basis is key to adequate language retention. Working with a private instructor or in Russian classes allows you those extra opportunities to work on your language skills such as pronunciation and gendered nouns. Let's take a closer look into each of these lesson options.
Interactive, online courses are an excellent choice if you prefer to work through a well-rounded curriculum in a classroom setting. You would have the ability to join in conversational practice and group activities, all while gaining valuable feedback from your expert instructor. If you run into a concept that is particularly challenging, you can reserve one-on-one time with your instructor to gain additional insight into that topic. There are new courses that start monthly and you have the option of choosing either a two- or four-week course. These sessions are held at a variety of times so you will be sure to find one to fit into your busy schedule.
If you would prefer a more customized approach to your language learning, working with a Minneapolis Russian tutor might be the best fit for you. Having the ability to focus on your goals alone makes working with a private tutor an effective and efficient choice. You will be able to take as much time as you need to understand Russian language concepts, such as the Cyrillic alphabet or the different grammar rules. Your tutor could even customize the sessions with your learning styles in mind as they get to know your strengths, challenges, and interests.
For students interested in working one-on-one with a Minneapolis Russian tutor, there are both online and in-person options. If you choose the convenient online option, you have the benefits of avoiding an extra commute and joining your instructor from wherever you are. You can simply sign in to our Live Learning Platform and use video chat and a virtual whiteboard to engage in your sessions. If you would prefer to meet in person, you can arrange for sessions at your home, a nearby library, or any other favorite study spot.
How can I get started with Minneapolis Russian lessons?
Learning a second language can be daunting, and finding the time to practice can be a challenge, especially if you are already balancing school, work, family time, and extracurricular activities. However, it is easy to get started with Russian lessons by reaching out to Varsity Tutors. Whether you are interested in the collaborative courses or the personal tutoring sessions, or if you would like to get more information on both before making your decision, we would be happy to help. We can get you enrolled to start in the next set of courses that fits into your schedule or connect you with your new Russian instructor in as little as 24 hours. Our educational consultants are available today and can give you more information on how to get started.

I realized that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to drastically change the way I was learning. I stopped memorizing content, and instead forced myself to dig into fundamental principles that weren't covered in class, and to rationalize everything the professor discussed. Before I knew it, I was getting all As, and I...

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

I've always known I wanted to teach. Once I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology/Neuroscience, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education. 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.
