About Zara
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have been teaching foreign languages (English, German, Russian) at various educational institutions for more than 12 years now . My previous position was Senior Lecturer of Foreign Languages at Russian University (Kazan State Agrarian University) where I had been working for 5 years. Apart from teaching I do prompt and professional translations from English into Russian and vise verse in such subjects as Business, Economy, Law, Mass Media, etc.
The methods I use to teach foreign languages are unique and tailored to an individual' s needs. All students are different and it is very important to find their strengths, focus on them and use them correctly to develop their learning abilities.
I always seriously and thoroughly prepare myself for each lesson, think over every minute of it, provide my students with useful and interesting material which covers the aspects of the language that my students want to focus on. At the same time, I ensure that the lessons are fun - which means they look forward to them!
I use a lot of different techniques, and every aspect of learning the language is involved; Reading, Speaking, Listening and Writing. I teach spoken Russian, Business Russian, Exams Preparation and so on....
I puts my clients at ease straight away by creating the ideal learning environment to progress quickly and easily.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes, I do.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I would like to mention my students learning Russian/English who have also become my friends, and who are very determined in their goals and are as dedicated as me, and I am very proud of them all! They are all so wonderful and it is such gift to know them. They are all learning for various reasons. All have different ambitions, but they are all dedicated and never give up!

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
“I was a mature casual learner, wanting to understand the basics of the Russian language in readiness for a forthcoming vacation.
I approached Zarema in August 2013, who accepted the challenge of tutoring me. Zarema's approach was firm but friendly, motivational and most importantly the learning materials were adapted to be relevant to my needs and capability. Thanks to Zarema, my vacation was a huge success.....!“I studied Russian at University, but had not used the language since I graduated ...So last year I decided to start having lessons with Zara. I'm really pleased that I made the decision, because Zara's friendly and patient approach to teaching has helped me to become confident in using Russian again. She provides useful and interesting material which covers the aspects of the language that I want to focus on and ..., she ensures that the lessons are fun - which means I look forward to them!”
“I have been going to see Zarema for around 2 months now on a one to one tutorial basis, I find her lessons both friendly and professional simultaneously, she has a lot of enthusiasm for her students progress, which makes the learning of a new language all the more easy.”
Zara as a teacher was perfect, she made the lessons nice and comfortable.
She prepared for the lessons perfectly as well, with thought as to how to teach,she was prepared with excellent paperwork for explaining and teaching Russian.
She made me feel comfortable and the pace of the lessons where nice."
She prepared the lesson with my details and name in the lessons,so when you learnt something it was relevent.I have always wanted to start learning Russian, so I could use it for work, but hearing and seeing the way letters in Russian Alphabet are written I was doubtful that I would be able to do so. But seeing Zarema's advert I booked my Skype lesson with her. Zarema's friendly and professional approach made me realize I was wrong to think it was too hard. I like learning Russian and now I am quite confident at reading and making conversation."
I recommend Zara as Tutor and look forward to learning more!View more recommendations
