Ksenia is an outstanding teacher. She is always very well prepared and comes to every lesson with a clear, structured plan. She creates custom flashcards for me, which has helped me build and retain vocabulary much more effectively.
She is highly proficient in both English and Spanish, and I’ve been able to communicate with her comfortably in both languages when needed. Since learning with her, I’ve gone from struggling to read to being able to read and speak quite confidently. The system she uses makes it easy to see my vocabulary grow and track my progress over time, which has been incredibly motivating.
Ksenia is also very kind, patient, and supportive. She’s always available if I have questions, and I really appreciate how she encourages me when I doubt myself by pointing out the progress I’ve already made. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about improving their language skills.

I have been having classes with Ksenia for plenty of time now, and I must say she is probably the best language teacher I ever had!
It's true, I can say that I had teachers who were living dictionaries and knew ever word and translation you could ask without hesitating, but I have yet to meet one that can teach as Ksenia. She is able to make the "big and scary" Russian language become easy and intuitive. The way she structures her teaching course makes the language very comprehensible, as instead of being grammar heavy, she decides to teach you in a way that you'll be talking without thinking much. Through the lessons, you will talk a lot as well as read and train for daily conversations. You will also have the opportunity to practice your writing.
If you're scared of how difficult learning Russian can be, I recommend you have some classes with Ksenia as surely it will become much easier and more fun. That applies to both English and Spanish speakers alike

Я долго искала преподавателя и сначала пробовала именно с носителями испанского, но им было тяжело объяснить некоторые специфические моменты. С Ксенией все легко, я часто говорю, что у меня есть только 30 мин на сегодняшний урок, но потом замечаю, что уже 45 пролетели и мы даже пересидели) Она помнит все мои ошибки и ненавязчиво добавляет эти задания на новых уроках, чтобы я наверняка запомнила) Также имеет индивидуальный подход и старается добавить именно тот тип обучения, который меня бодрит) Вообщем мне нравится, я нашла своего учителя, никуда уже не уйду)

Спасибо a la profe Ksenia, esta es mi clase número 10 y es increíble el avance que he tenido luego de empezar completamente en nivel 0 del idioma ruso. En tan sólo las primeras tres clases aprendí a leer en ruso y a comprender el uso / pronunciación de cada letra del alfabeto, y posteriormente las primeras reglas gramaticales con muchos ejemplos prácticos muy bien estructurados y por supuesto enseñados con sus clases amenas. En este punto, en la clase 10, siento confianza de entender y hablar algunas oraciones importantes así como de leer y escribir cada vez mejor.
