I was born and raised in Siberia. I now reside in New York and work at a university library. I specialize in working with Intermediate level and conversational Russian learners. My sessions can be structured or non-structured depending on your needs and preferences. I have plenty of ready to use PDFs on a variety of topics to help learners with vocabulary, grammar, reading and conversation skills. Expect some lesson notes and a light homework.
I am a tad introverted which makes me a great listener. I am fluent in English and conversational in Spanish, but we will be using (basic) Russian most of the time. I also enjoy working with small groups of learners, so couples are welcome. Cheers!
I started teaching Russian at a local nonprofit several years ago to promote learning my native language and to help learners advance their speaking skills. I was delighted to see my students progress in conversational Russian, while having fun studying and practicing together. I gained some invaluable experience and a load of amazing teaching materials.
They say I am a talented instructor, and I think they are right. I am friendly, flexible and encouraging. I try to engage my students and make them speak Russian feeling at ease.
If you think I can help you, definitely book a trial with me. Let's have a chat and cover some of my lovely study/practice material, talk to you soon!
We will have fun working on my materials! We oftentimes do not finish all the sections because we get too chatty...
I can say without any hesitation that Elena is the best tutor I have ever had -- she is prompt, professional, and passionate about her students' success in learning Russian. She strikes the perfect balance between correcting mistakes and encouraging me to practice new words/phrases.
My level of Russian has improved by leaps and bounds since I started working with Elena, as has my breadth of vocabulary and confidence in speaking!
