My name is Katerina, and I'm a professional language instructor and a historian of Russian culture.
I hold two MAs - in Russian literature and Art History, and a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures.
I'm fluent in English, and I'm also currently learning Spanish - so trust me, I know how hard it can be to pick up a new language!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm a super patient teacher, and I will do whatever I can to make you feel comfortable and overcome the language barrier. At the same time, I know when it's time to introduce a little challenge to keep things interesting and help you to make real progress.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are always tailored to my students' needs. My main goal is to help you reach YOUR goals. Whether you want to speak Russian to your new friends, communicate with your clients or business partners, travel to countries where Russian is spoken, or, who knows, even read Dostoevsky's novels - I'm here to support you.
Katerina is an outstanding teacher! Each class reveals not only her passion for teaching but also her brilliance as an ambassador for her language. She challenges her students with just the right balance, always tailoring and adapting her speech to the perfect level. She's patient, considerate, and endlessly encouraging, creating a space where learning feels natural and easy. With Katerina, you won’t simply excel in Russian; You’ll laugh often, explore and expand your knowledge on a wide range of topics, and have your curiosity ignited in every lesson. I highly recommend her!

Katerina was great! She was very patient and spoke slowly so that I could understand. She wrote down all the new words and expressions in the chat, which was really helpful, and was able to answer my questions in English as well. She was also very personable so I felt comfortable talking to her. I really enjoyed my first lesson with her.
