About Me

Hi! I’m Mariya, originally from Kazakhstan and now living in Vienna, where I’m learning German. Russian is my native language, and I also speak English (B2, IELTS certified).
I have friends from many different countries, and I’ve learned how exciting it is to connect through language and culture.
I studied Documentation Management and Archival Science, which helped me develop a deep understanding of the Russian language. Its structure, style, and how people communicate in different contexts.
For me, learning a language is not about rules - it’s about real connection and in my free time I enjoy traveling, watching movies, and exploring new cultures, all things I’d love to talk abMe as a Teacher
For me, the most important part of learning a language is speaking - just talking, making mistakes, and learning from them.
During our lessons, we’ll focus mainly on conversation, but if you want, I can also help you learn new words and give you small, simple exercises to practice.
I’m patient, friendly, and happy to adapt to your needs. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and motivated every time we talk. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed and focused on real communication. I believe that speaking is the best way to learn, so we’ll talk about everyday topics like travel, culture, food, or movies, whatever you enjoy.
You can decide what we discuss, and I’ll guide the conversation to help you improve naturally.
Sometimes I’ll share useful phrases or small tasks to expand your vocabulary.
Every lesson is about building confidence and enjoying the process.My teaching material

Super lesson with Maria! We talked about weather and snow. I brought up that I have trouble with verbs of motion, and Maria adjusted the lesson to talk about them. We also finished the slide deck on "entertainment". Maria is excellent at checking to see if I don't understand something and making sure that she updates our shared document so that I can review!

Fun lesson with Maria. We started with small talk, mostly both of us complaining about the cold weather. Maria had a lesson prepared about "entertainment", and she asked me about different things in my town. I told her about the restaurant festival and other events. Maria comes up with fun and interesting topics for the lesson. Maria is both patient and very helpful. I feel at ease in her lesson and enjoy learning with Maria!

Great lesson with Maria! We started with small talk. I told Maria that my brother got a new dog, so we talked about pets. Maria had a presentation ready about "living in the city". It is fun learning with Maria. When I say something incorrectly, Maria is really good at helping me understand what I meant to say!

Super lesson with Maria! We continued talking about "entertainment". In Maria's lessons, I get plenty of listening and speaking practice. Maria is really good at explaining and at asking questions. Maria always brings fun and interesting topics for discussion to the lesson, and it was definitely fun talking about entertainment!

Great lesson with Maria! We continued our conversation about "city life vs. country life". We also talked about vegetables, especially potatoes. Maria updated our shared document with the new vocabulary and useful sentences, as she does every time. Learning with Maria is really helping me to speak naturally and to listen naturally. Maria is very encouraging and motivating because she believes in me!

Great lesson with Maria! Today's theme was "sports". We talked about different sports that we did and different ones that we like. We both had some funny stories to tell about sports. Maria does a really nice job coming up with materials and topics for the lesson, as well as asking me when she's not sure if I understood something or not!
