i would highly reccomend Alla to all levels of learners of the russian language from beginner, all the way to advanced. she is very kind and easy to talk to which is great and she is also very patient. she is a native speaker of russian, and she is also fully fluent in english which is a huge help. her lessons never feel rushed and i always feel like i have her full attention. she keeps the lessons fun and is very open to how you want to structure your lessons and likes to use different methods to learn the language such as studying music or writing stories or just chit chatting about whatever interests you she will teach you not just the language itself, but also how to speak it in the same manner that a native speaker does. i highly reccomend Alla!
