Olga K.
Private tutor in Boston, MA
Education
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English and a Master's degree in Linguistics from Moscow State University. In 2009, I obtained M.A. in French Medieval Literature from the University of Toulouse. I am fluent in English, Russian, and French. Italian is my favorite language, but since I can't practice it either in the USA or in France, I understand it better than I speak. Being a certified tour-guide, I am well read in Art history and history, and I learn something new every day.
Experience
My professional experience includes teaching General, Business and Legal English to international students in a variety of settings, in the United States and in Europe. My many years of experience have been with universities and business schools in New York, Boston, Prague, Rome and Toulouse. In addition to English, I have extensive knowledge of the language, culture and history of Russia and France, which enabled me to teach both Russian and French languages. I taught Russian language and civilization in Prague International Language School (2003-2004) and, most recently, in France, at the Catholic Institute of Toulouse. I provided private tutoring in French to high-school American students to help them prepare for their exams and I gave some private lessons of French conversation to foreign students in France to facilitate their integration into the university life . To me, teaching is a form of Art: it requires creativity and intelligence, craft and passion. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have some amazing teachers who inspired me to love learning and to become a teacher as a result. I enjoy exploring new cultures and languages and sharing my knowledge with others. Helping students learn a new language, overcome its challenges, integrate into the culture and work life, and achieve personal success in the process is incredibly rewarding to me.
