This article focused on the challenges of teaching the Russian language as a foreign language at elementary level on individual basis with expatriates-employees of foreign corporations working in Russia. The article discusses in detail the characteristics of this student category and analyzes the differences between the individual classes of the teacher of Russian as a foreign language with expatriate students, from working with students in a group. Meanwhile, there has been an attempt to substantiate a new approach to teaching this group of students, which by many criteria it should differ significantly from the traditional approach to teaching Russian as a foreign language, presented in modern textbooks for foreigners. Considering the information findings, teachers have to create their own teaching materials that cannot replace a professionally created textbook. Undoubtedly, this complicates the work of the teacher, slows down the learning process, and does not stimulate the students to work on classes.
