Nick is a very patient teacher. He would have to be, to put up with all my mistakes ! 😂 I’m in a tricky intermediate - upper intermediate transition phase whereby I want to say more than I’m capable of. Sometimes when I struggle Nick patiently tries to fill the gaps in vocabulary, and if that isn’t enough to get or keep me talking, he speaks about his own experiences which is really good for my listening. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I would definitely recommend Nick as a teacher.

Nick is a very patient and encouraging teacher. Lessons are structured, personable and fun. I’ve had a great lesson with him and I learn a lot. I am very motivated and looking forward to learning more. I highly recommend him as a teacher.

Nik is an awesome teacher. He is patient, diligent, and calm. I never feel intimidated and I always feel like I make significant progress with each lesson.

Nikita’s a fantastic teacher + tutor. His classes are well-organised but have a casual and supportive atmosphere. The material for review is always relevant and engaging and even funny (modern conversational Russian!!), and he really does adapt the content to my own strengths and weaknesses. *Very* personable too –– it feels like I’m learning Russian from a friend or a neighbour or a World of Tanks clan mate (lol). I’m looking forward to our next classes, and excited to continue my learning journey with Nik :)

I’ve had quite a few lessons with Nik at this point, and we always have a great time! He is a calm, patient, and overall excellent teacher. I’ve become even more enthusiastic about learning Russian since I began working with him. Looking forward to many more lessons!

I had a fantastic first lesson with Nick. He is patient and has excellent explanatory skills. Looking forward to more!
