Students looking to study the Russian language can sign up for a Philadelphia Russian course by reaching out to Varsity Tutors. Whether you are just beginning to learn Russian, want to expand on your knowledge of the language, or wish to gain a deeper appreciation for Russian culture by reading Dostoevsky as it was written, a Philadelphia Russian course can help you work toward your goals.
Who Can Benefit from a Philadelphia Russian Course?
Students and adult learners of all levels can benefit from enrolling in a Russian language course, and our flexible course scheduling options mean that there are class times that could fit your schedule no matter how busy you are. You'll have the option of choosing between two-week or four-week sessions and can attend your course in the morning, afternoon, evening, and even weekends. So you can bring the classroom into your own home when it's most convenient for you.
When you sign in to your virtual classroom you will be able to interact with your teacher and other students via a live virtual platform. With collaborative study opportunities and classroom discussion, you can attain a deeper understanding of the Russian language. And, depending on your proficiency level, an instructor may even choose to lead his or her class entirely in Russian, providing you with an immersive experience.
This face-to-face, virtual platform is a great way to learn a language. Speaking and hearing Russian on a regular basis is a vital part of the language learning process. Whether you're a high school student at Central High School, a college student at the University of Pennsylvania, or an adult student looking to improve your understanding of the language for professional opportunities, studying with an experienced Russian speaker in a collaborative environment can help you feel comfortable and confident.
What Are Some Key Concepts Students Can Learn?
If you are just getting started with the Russian language, your instructor can help familiarize you with the alphabet, known as the Cyrillic alphabet. They can help you expand your knowledge of grammar rules, pronunciation, and sentence structure. They can even teach you about the rich history and culture of Russia.
Through conversation and repetition, the immersive interaction provided by a Philadelphia Russian class is a great way to become a better communicator and may encourage you to use the language in your day to day life. Once you get a handle on the basics, you can begin to work on saying things in Russian without having to translate each word in your had in real time.
If you find that you're struggling to keep up or want a deeper understanding of the language, you can request 1-on-1 time with your instructor. You can get extra help with Russian grammar and sentence structure and work on common phrases.
What are the Perks of Philadelphia Russian Classes?
Learning a foreign language is commonly required as part of a high school or college's curriculum. Getting a good grasp on the language can be difficult in a traditional classroom setting since you may only be meeting a few times a week for a short period of time. With a Philadelphia Russian Class, however, you'll have additional time to practice the language. And just like anything else, the more practice you get, the more proficient you may become.
The online, collaborative environment can lead to a broader understanding of Russian grammar and essential vocabulary. You can participate in lively discussions, hone your pronunciation techniques, and memorize the unique rules of Russian grammar. Before you know it, you may even become one of the 265 million Russian speakers worldwide!
These days, everyone seems to have a busy schedule. But with Russian class sections starting monthly and section availability multiple times per day, you'll be able to get the extra help you need without missing a beat. And the best part is that because these classes are held virtually, you can learn Russian in the comfort of your own home. No commute. No uncomfortable desk. These collaborative lessons can help deepen your understanding of the language while you lounge on the couch.
How can I enroll in Russian lessons?
Learning a new language is challenging, but with a positive environment, repetition, and the guidance of a highly qualified teacher, you can make progress toward your goal of becoming a more proficient Russian speaker. Be sure to get in touch with Varsity Tutors to get started in a Philadelphia Russian course. If you enroll in a class today, you can join your virtual classroom and engage with other Russian-speaking students as soon as the next class is available.

...Anatomy, which requires me to have "office hours" available in order to help students that are struggling. Tutoring students can be very simple and sometimes very complicated, but I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way...

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.
