Akademik provide language services such as public service interpreting, translation, tutoring and examining Russian at schools at GCSE and A Level.
Maria Williams is a Russian tutor at the University of Birmingham and a public service interpreter, a member of The National Register of Public Service Interpreters and the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
Maria has taught Russian for over 20 years at schools, at the university and privately. In the last 12 years of preparing students for GCSE and A-Level exams there has not been a grade lower than A, they have all been As and A*s.
Maria identified a need for a Russian course for the British families that host Ukrainian refugees. As in some cases Ukrainian guests do not speak English at all or their English is very limited and the language barrier on both parties creates gaps in communication. Hence this communication is not successful in many cases.
Maria realises that the differences in culture, mentality, traditions, humour, to name just a few compounds of interaction, sometimes create great difficulties. And by offering this 10-hour basic Russian course Maria hopes to give a start to the British hosts in overcoming these hurdles and learning some basic Russian. It is Russian as many Ukrainians speak Russian fluently and it is there either first or second language.
