Challenges
The Key Stage 4 curriculum in MFL is said to be built upon prior learning in Key Stage 3. However, not all candidates go through Key Stage 3. Due to the diversity of backgrounds, when pupils begin their preparation for GCSE Russian, their levels vary. Some are absolute beginners; some have well-developed listening and reading skills, but are weak at writing and speaking; others can listen and speak but not read or write.
Such inconsistency makes one-to-one tutoring invaluable since my teaching strategy and scheme of work will focus on your individual needs to improve a specific area and balance up your Russian language skills so that you can be confident at all types of assessment.

How long does the course take?
Preparation for GCSE Russian from the absolute beginner level normally take 2 years but I have developed a progressive method based on Intercomprehension Didactics that allows many pupils to take the GCSE exam after only 1 year of learning and still achieve a high grade.
