Ekaterina teaches bilingual kids and adults online across Australia. A live video lesson means games, reading, writing and lots of speaking practice, just like a regular lesson, only from home.
Ekaterina shares the materials on screen: worksheets, cards and game tasks. The child reads, completes words and connects pictures during the lesson instead of just listening.
Everything is matched to the student's level. After the lesson the family gets follow-up tasks, so Russian keeps sounding at home between lessons.
Ekaterina is based in Brisbane. In winter Sydney and Brisbane share the same time, and from October to April Sydney is one hour ahead. Easy to plan around.
Eg: a 5:00pm lesson in Sydney runs at 4:00pm in Brisbane during daylight saving, and in winter the clocks match exactly. After-school and weekend slots go first.
Sydney is home to one of the largest Russian-speaking communities in Australia. Many kids attend Saturday Russian schools, and one-on-one online lessons complement them well: an hour of real speaking practice that a big group cannot give.
No, in-person lessons run in Brisbane only. For Sydney, Ekaterina teaches online over video, and kids settle in fast: games, cards and shared reading feel just as alive on screen.
In winter the clocks match; in summer Sydney is one hour ahead of Brisbane. When you book, Ekaterina confirms the lesson time in your time zone, so there is no confusion.
A computer or tablet with a camera and a quiet spot. Ekaterina sends the video link and all materials, there is nothing to buy.
Usually from about 5-6, once a child can hold attention at a screen for half a lesson. It starts with a meet-and-chat: Ekaterina sees the level and tells you honestly whether the format fits.
