Russian Students

Все мои ученики из России замечательные люди!  Они увлеченные и у них серьезный подход к делу.
     В 2012 на сайте “Livemocha” я познакомился с девушкой из Москвы. Сначала у нас были бесплатные занятия по Skype. Ей понравился мой подход в обучении, и буквально через неделю она предложила заниматься регулярно и оплачивать занятия. Эта встреча была настоящей отправной точкой, и через полгода у меня уже была целая дюжина учеников из России.
   Я благодарен этой стране. Спасибо, Россия!





My Russian students have been simply fantastic and they don't value a free lunch. In 2012, I met a girl from Moscow on Livemocha and taught her for a week via Skype---and I did that free.However, she exhibited confidence in my teaching methodology and wanted to  pay for the  lessons,  and which she did eventually.


There was no turning back and in 6 months, I got a substantial number of students from Russia.



Thank you, Russia
