FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have been teaching Russian language and culture to professionals for over twenty years, and that's why my students trust me. If pricing is your only factor, my team or I may not be your best choice for your language coach. However, if what matters to you is to SPEAK and get results, then we can be an excellent match. I teach one-on-one courses. I work with you to discover the most productive and enjoyable way to study for you and customize each course to your learning style and goals. I give my heart and soul to every lesson and the preparation that precedes it. I listen to you and what you need in every course, and work with you to find the most efficient way of learning depending on your preferences, personal and professional interest. I offer 10, 20 and 40 lesson packages. My lessons start at $45 (the most popular package of lessons) compared to a regular lesson that is $65. The Intensive Special is a 40 lesson package that runs for 10 weeks and with the special fee goes down from $65 to $45 (per 45-minute lesson). The intensive is intended to boost your Russian and classes are twice a week in double sessions. Each single session is 45 minutes long and double sessions are 1 hour and 30 minutes long. In the double sessions we have time to practice all 3 language skills: speaking, listening/understanding, reading. The Intensive Special is an intensive 10-week package organized in sessions of 1 hour and 30 minutes meeting twice a week. Take advantage of this special for a very reduced fee!! Save 25% on each lesson! I also offer other less intensive options. For instance, if you can only meet once a week, we can have double sessions with a lot of practice once a week, and extra homework with 100% hands on approach so that you are ready to rock in the next session! Let's embark on this language journey together! Sign up now.
