Varsity Tutors can help students of all ages get started in Chicago Russian lessons, whether you're an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, a senior at Acero Schools Chicago, or seeking language skills for personal or professional reasons. Foreign language courses are becoming a common requirement in many high school and college degree programs. As an increasing number of students are tasked with the challenge of learning a new language, many have decided to seek outside help to supplement their classroom learning. Whether you're just beginning your language learning journey or are beginning to feel overwhelmed by the nuanced conventions of the Russian language, Varsity Tutors has a wide array of resources to help guide and lend depth to your review.
Our globalized world has created more opportunities for intercontinental exchange, creating a demand for bilingual employees capable of working with a diverse population. Along with this, the growing exposure to diverse cultures around the world has helped to create unique opportunities for travel and cultural exchange. Learning a new language is a great way to open yourself up to new cultural experiences by diversifying the way you engage with the world.
What are the perks of the different types of Chicago Russian lessons?
Varsity Tutors can set you up with two different types of Chicago Russian lessons: online course or private language instruction. Each option provides unique benefits, but no matter which you choose, you will be led by a patient, fluent instructor capable of adapting to your learning style and needs. One of the biggest challenges of learning a new language is finding opportunities to practice speaking with others. While learning grammar, vocabulary, and common phrases are integral elements of the language learning process, practicing with others allows you to tie these different elements together while also honing your pronunciation skills. You can be confident that your Russian lessons will utilize top-notch language learning materials and a variety of teaching techniques to bring you a dynamic learning experience.
Enrolling in an online course is an excellent choice for students who prefer a collaborative learning experience. You will attend live sessions with other peers where you will be able to participate in group discussions, share ideas, and work together towards common goals. Studying with others has been shown to increase retention rates and deepen understanding of course material. Also, studying with others means that you will have a built-in network of peers to practice your verbal skills with. Your course instructor may guide sessions using a variety of approaches, such as utilizing media to help contextualize the language, or, depending on your proficiency level, speak only Russian during the entirety of the class. This type of immersive experience can help to accelerate your language learning. You may also schedule one-on-one time with your instructor if you are struggling with a particular subject.
If you prefer the intimacy of one-on-one instruction, getting connected to a Chicago Russian tutor might be a better option for you. To accommodate your busy schedule, your instructor can meet you either online or in-person. Our Live Learning Platform makes meeting online a popular choice for many students. You will be able to use your webcam to interact with your instructor in real time, as well as utilize our virtual whiteboard and various language learning resources. Working privately with an instructor allows you to build lessons around your areas of opportunity. If you're struggling with gendered nouns, your instructor can tailor your sessions around working to identify the conditions that determine masculine, feminine, or neutral nouns. Studying one-on-one with a Chicago Russian tutor can allow them insight into your language learning goals and areas of opportunity. They can then use this information to customize your lessons to your learning style and level of proficiency.
How can I enroll in Chicago Russian lessons?
Regardless of your motivation, whether it be to pass your German I class at Taft High School, read Tolstoy in his native language, or interact with locals during your travels to St. Petersburg, Varsity Tutors can set you up with Chicago Russian lessons to help you reach for your goals. Our flexible offerings are designed with your hectic schedule in mind. If you would like to enroll in an online course, new class sections start monthly, and classes are available at multiple times of the day in order to accommodate your academic and personal commitments. If you would prefer to study with a Chicago Russian tutor, we can match you with a private instructor in less than 24 hours.
Learning a new language should be an exciting adventure, not a stressful one. Our educational consultants are standing by, ready to answer your questions. Contact us today to get started.

Prahith: Chicago Russian lesson instructor
I am a classroom teacher who has spent the last ten years tutoring/educating students with a variety of learning needs. I specialize in figuring out what specific learning strategies work for different students. I can help you go from good to great as I have consistently scored in the 99th percentile for several graduate school tests. ... It is more important that students learn how to solve problems rather than just memorizing facts or formulas. All students are smart in their own way and, teaching should be catered to how students best understand. Ultimately students should understand why what they are learning is important.

No matter the mechanism, teaching and learning are my life!... Keep going. Everything that has happened in my life, good and bad, has happened because I did not quit. Learning is a journey. Keep going.... After introductions, I would begin by getting to know the student's learning style and what their educational interests are. For example, what they hope to gain from the subject, their strengths and weaknesses, and what they've tried in the past. Gauging where they are now will provide a great foundation to build from.

Ethan: Chicago Russian lesson instructor
...attended the Horace Mann School in New York City. I love teaching and working with students because I feel that there is nothing more rewarding than being able to provide the extra push that students might need to be successful. I am passionate about helping students learn and making sure they are having fun doing so. I'm also happy to talk about anything a student might want to talk about, academically, extracurricularly, or otherwise.... In a typical first session, I would spend time introducing myself and getting to know the student. Then we would spend some time figuring out the student's strengths and weaknesses, and I would work with the student to identify what he or she wants to work on or needs help with. After that, I would have the student complete some practice problems or answer practice questions in the areas that we have identified. I will use that information that I gather in order to design a plan for our next few meetings that is tailored to the student's needs and wants.
