👋 I’m Irina, and I specialize in helping English speakers master Russian without overwhelm - whether you’re starting from scratch or prepping for TORFL exams. My secret is clear comparisons to English, so tricky grammar (like cases or verbs of motion) finally clicks. Let’s make fluency feel natural. Your success is my job!
Ich als Lehrkraft
In 2003, I completed my studies at Tver State University with a master's degree in Teaching Russian Language. Since 2009, I've been working as a tutor, helping people who speak English to learn the Russian language.
As a certified teacher, I have the linguistic knowledge needed to explain the unique features of the Russian language, such as its system of cases, verbs of motion, differences between animate and inanimate objects, variations in verb tenses, and more. I ensure better understanding by providing relevant comparisons to English.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I provide: Conversational Russian; Russian for beginners; Exams preparation (TORFL); Intensive Russian; General Russian.
First, we will discover your needs and level. And from then on we will move with your speed, your will and according to your interests.
You will learn Russian through practical examples of its usage and in comparison with the English language. Put differently, I won't ever ask you to memorize a table of endings without explaining how you can use this knowledge.
With me, you'll have a safe space to speak, make mistakes, and improve – a place where you can grow confidently.
My goal is your fluency of communication; let's start now!
