"Hello,

My name is Joshua, and I learned Russian while I was serving in the United States Navy. I have a pretty good grasp on spoken Russian and even better with writing reading and listening. I can help you obtain any level of proficiency in Russian up to being able to live and work there. I know I am not a certified teacher, but I have plenty of experience under my belt tutoring others in Russian. As a linguist in the Navy I was required to maintain a high level of fluency in Russian in order to do my job, and while I held leadership positions I had the opportunity to assist all my peers in staying fluent. I organized study groups and I learned that I loved to help others with their Russian. I can bring this same passion for helping to my tutoring sessions. If you aren't near me, don't worry, I can tutor over Skype or Google Hangouts.

I received a certification in Russian from the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center in Monterey California, and continued to use the Russian Language for another 5 years after that during my time in the U.S. Navy.

I love art, I have been drawing since I was a very young boy. I have had my art shown in galleries and art shows and I sell my work on line.

Please if you have any questions or interest feel free to contact me! I would love to get started tutoring in Russian or art lessons." less...
