Your Personal Russian Assistant

Services

Business

Errands
If there is something you want to be done in St. Petersburg I could give you a hand. If you can specify what should be done and the task requires from 1 hour up to 3 days I consider it as an errand.

Your personal assistant in St. Petersburg / Virtual office
In certain cases the best way to reach your goals would be to have a part-time personal assistant - St. Petersburg resident - for a week, fortnight or probably for a month. Somebody fluently speaking English with:

• PC,
• Internet access,
• Regular and mobile phones,
• Fax,
• Experience in admin / organizing activities,
• Some useful contacts with the local businessmen / authorities.

That is me! And I am at your disposal.

Scientific Research Support

Libraries / Archives projects
Collecting materials in Russian libraries / archives is a very time consuming matter mostly on 2 reasons:

• The catalogues are not computerized. Instead of customary PC you will have to deal with the huge shelves choke-full with the index cards boxes. One needs some experience and often fluent Russian language to get oriented in it.
• Libraries staff usually is not friendly. With monthly salary about 200 USD they feel that any working zeal would be ill-placed.

I could save up your time and nerves making a part of a job for you.

Interviews / Meetings projects
Making a research on the faculty of psychology of St. Petersburg University myself I would be glad to give you a hand in organization of interviews or meetings with the target groups in our city.

English Teachers Assistance

Does the idea to move to St. Petersburg for a year as an English language teacher sounds appealing to you? Basing on the practical experience I developed 2 programs to secure you from possible risks, stresses and wasting time and money.

Two tutors
Russian resident (me in person) and american citizen who currently works as an English teacher will take care of you before your arrival / within the first month of your stay.

St. Petersburg inside out
If you have never been in Russia but consider the perspective of moving to St. Petersburg it is most sensible plan to come first for at least 10 days (or more) to see how it feels here and if you have a wish to stay for longer. With my help you can use your time even more efficient.
