I am so happy that I am finally making progress! I was stuck for so long, but Leo is extremely patient and knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve had a variety of Russian teachers, in person and online, and I would say without hesitation that Leo is the best. In fact, I myself am a language teacher, and I feel like I learn from him as a professional, too. If you want to improve, you should take his lessons!

It's been so great starting Russian from 0 with Leo. He's helped me begin to be able to read texts and translate them. He's always prepared and keeps the lesson moving nicely. I am excited to continue into next year.

Great guy

I would not hesitate to recommend Leo as a teacher. He is very good at explaining grammar and vocabulary, and at the same time gives you plenty of opportunities to practise speaking and listening in lessons that are clearly well-prepared. Leo increases my motivation to learn Russian, so I will definitely continue to book lessons with him. I believe he would be very successful teaching Russian at a school or university in an English-speaking country.

As a native English speaker, the Russian language is a challenge for me, but Leo communicates the rules clearly, is patient with mistakes, and our lessons are always fun. I highly recommend studying with him!

Love Leo. Friendly, but he keeps me challenged and on task.
