Russian Literature Courses for Adults
It is my goal to help readers understand and enjoy great works of Russian literature. All are welcome, from the first-timer to those who have dog-eared copies of Russian classics on their shelves. Our class format usually consists of a 20 to 30 minute lecture, followed by lively group discussion for an hour or more. If you are interested in a custom seminar or book group for 5 to 15 people, I would be delighted to design one with you.

Russian Language Courses
Please note: As of August, 2020, my time slots for Russian language instruction have been filled through the end of the year. I may have limited availability for advanced and intermediate level students in 2021. I also lead a literature discussion group for heritage, Russian-speaking children ages 10-13 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Click here for more information.

Russian Literature Courses for Teens
Designed for teens who love literature and writing, my online classes introduce students to the amazing world of Russian literature. Classes will meet weekly and last for an hour and a half. Our class format will usually consist of a 20 to 30 minute lecture, student presentations, and group discussion. In addition to weekly reading, short writing assignments about each week’s reading and a final paper will be required. The combination of lecture, presentations, discussion, and writing is designed to prepare teens for the college environment.
