Olga is a great teacher. Each lesson we have great conversation and Olga is good at identifying my areas of improvements. I find the lessons challenging and I’m confident that my level of Russian is improving

Olga has been my teacher for years now (although I had various breaks on my language learning path) and I can really vouch for her commitment and availability. She never stops a lesson until we covered everything, even if we are overtime, she is really attentive when I am talking so she can spot my main weaknesses over time, answers all my questions and takes time afterwards to find relevant homeworks to send me. I am glad I can rely on Olga for my language goal: even when I stop learning for months and sometimes years, she is always ready to help me back on track when I start again!

About time I write another review and I highly recommend Olga a as a teacher: engaging, professional, prepared, patient and always in a good mood. Her lessons are 100% personalized and she has what it seems like an infinite source of studying and practice materials. After 200 lessons I can confidently say that no time is wasted when studying with Olga.
If you are serious about learning Russian, this is the place!

My first lesson with Olga was great. I got the feeling she would definitely be able to prepare me for the TORFL test. If that's your goal, I think she is the right person for the job. She clearly has a lot of personal experience, and insider knowledge about the test that makes her lessons worthwhile.

After completing 25 lessons with Olga, I can't help but highly recommend her.
Each session, each question has a reason to be asked. The attention to detail she puts into each class is what impresses me the most. She makes me feel unique.
After 1 month and 9 lessons with Olga, I decided to take a test, received her good luck wishes, and... We managed to achieve the A2 certification!
Now, we've finished our 25th lesson. I just came from a chess club in Moscow, and it's still difficult for me to believe that everyone understands me. I participate during class, make my friends laugh, and create job opportunities.
If I had known that having a teacher could yield these results so quickly, I wouldn't have wasted those 10 months in vain.
Thank you so much for being my mentor. I just wish you keep receiving the students you deserve. See you in our next lesson!
