Varsity Tutors can set you up with a Tucson Russian course led by an experienced instructor. Understanding and being able to speak and write in Russian may be useful depending on your career or personal goals. It can also be a personal goal that can help you communicate with people who are from Russia, but also people from Kazakhstan, Belarus, or Kyrgyzstan. There are more than 150 million native Russian speakers, while an estimated 265+ million people around the world can speak Russian. With the aid of an instructor and collaboration with your peers in a virtual classroom setting, you can become one of them.
How Can a Tucson Russian Class Help in My Learning Pursuits?
An online class provides the opportunity to collaborate with everyone who participates. It is led by an instructor who has been carefully interviewed and who enjoys teaching a foreign language, but you also work alongside your online "classmates" in learning the language. So, in addition to comprehensive professional guidance, you can work with your peers in learning to understand Russian. Working together helps build comradery, ability, and confidence while getting the most out of your time. Although the class is completely online, you can see, hear, and talk to your instructor and peers in real time as if they were in the room with you.
Learning a language takes time and effort. Without sufficient practice, you won't learn the intricacies of any language's grammatical rules, vocabulary, and word usage. The purpose of a Tucson Russian course is to provide the practice needed to further your understanding of the language. There are many idiosyncrasies of the Russian language that differentiate it from English. For example, a structured word case system means you need to learn a few rules before you can communicate effectively. In English, word order is important in determining grammatical and logical relationships. In Russian, the endings of a noun are more important. A noun's case reveals what role it plays in a sentence, although singular and plural forms are used, adding at least one familiar component to the language. Nouns are presented in masculine, feminine, and neuter form.
A Tucson Russian class can focus on a wide range of concepts. One starting point may be the Russian alphabet, otherwise known as the Cyrillic alphabet, which consists of 32 official letters. Pronunciation is another practice area, but learning to pronounce words is not as difficult as it seems once you have a little experience. Some English words aren't pronounced as they're written out. But in Russian, nearly all words can be sounded out as they're written. Your instructor can assist in understanding Russian vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics, as well as learning essential vocabulary, common phrases, and grammar and sentence structure. Plus, you can have a unique opportunity to learn Russian history, culture, and famous literary works by authors such as Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Dostoevsky.
Acquiring this new language can help you better appreciate such literary works if you're reading them in Sunnyside High School or Desert View High School. If your degree program at the University of Arizona has language requirements or you have personal interests to learn Russian, a Tucson Russian class may be just the thing for you. A busy academic and personal schedule doesn't have to get in the way either. Classes start monthly and are held in two- and four-week sessions, and at different times. That means you can choose to study in the middle of the day, in the evening, or on the weekend. And, when learning Russian proves more challenging than you thought, your instructor can set aside one-on-one time to assist you.

John: Tucson Russian course instructor
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.

Katie: Tucson Russian course instructor
...Cornell Freshman studying Biomedical Engineering. With 2 years of paid and 5 years of volunteer tutoring under my belt, I have learned that patience, compassion, flexibility, and creativity are necessary to help a student succeed in a variety of subjects. Even more importantly, I'm confident that I can help students not just with one topic or class, but give them the skills to achieve high results on their own and in the future.... I believe one thing wrong with today's educational systems is that students focus too much on the short terms goals - memorizing information just for the next test, rushing through homework just to get a good grade for that assignment, cramming just to pass a 3 hour AP or regents, etc. I hope to teach students to gain knowledge and confidence in a subject, not just short-term memorization, and walk away with lifelong test-taking, learning, and study tools.
