Popular Post 8filltheheart Posted October 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dd is bursting with joy bc she just found out she will be representing the US in the International Russian Olympiad in Moscow. Just through working via Skype 1-2 days per week, her awesome Russian tutor, Mrs. Denne, has helped her reach a high level and achieve excellent pronunciation. If you are looking for a Russian tutor, I highly recommend Mrs. Denne. 102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenaInTexas Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 This is awesome! And very encouraging to all us moms who sometimes wonder what being homeschooled will 'cost' our kids in opportunities such as this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 This is wonderful news! поздравлениÑ! (Courtesy of google translate. I don't actually know Russian.) When you get a chance, please share how the competition worked. A quick internet search, led to this site which includes some stick figure drawings, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing?

swimmermom3 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Eight, I know you mentioned this on the other thread, but somehow I missed this original post. I am beyond thrilled for your daughter and for you and hope for nothing but great things for her in the competition. I have been on this board for nearly eight years - almost all of the time we have homeschooled - and as far back as I can remember on here, you've been a tremendous inspiration for pushing harder for better results and coloring outside the lines. Okay, I admit there were times I would read about what you and your kids were doing and go "That is so cool, but there is no way I have the talent, imagination, whatever, to do that, and my kid? Forget it!" Then I'd have to put my head down on the kitchen table and think on all what you had shared because often there was a chord that resonated and I'd have to figure out what to do with it. Usually that meant raising the bar higher. You are an outstanding teacher, mentor, mother, and "boardie" friend. Thanks for everything. I know it hasn't always been easy helping your dd find the path that's best for her, but what an amazing outcome! We'll be cheering for her. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have written this post myself. So happy for you and dd, and it couldn't have happened to a harder working, more inspiring family. You guys have earned everything that you've accomplished, and it is so wonderful to see your efforts and her efforts paying off so well for your kids. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) CONGRATS!!!!!! Thanks for sharing such great news, 8. My 10th grader started with Julia Denne in August, and we could not be happier with her tutoring. (I am sending you a PM. DS is curious about the competition.)

tdemauro Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Congratulations!! My seventh grade dd studies with Julia Denne and loves working with her! She has made tremendous progress because Mrs. Denne is incredible -- a gem!! My dd is working on memorizing and acting out a poem to submit as well as her Russian handwriting for the essay portion. Good luck to your dd!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
