Hey there!
Love languages? Me too!
As a certified Russian teacher and fellow learner (currently tackling Polish!), I get the struggles—and the joys—of mastering a new language. My approach is all about conversational Russian that’s actually useful—think real-life chats, not textbook drills. Born in Kyrgyzstan and raised speaking Russian, I bring native fluency to the table, combined with a teacher’s knack for breaking down complex concepts into bite-sized, manageable pieces.
I know firsthand how daunting it can be to learn a new language (hello, Polish!), but I also know how rewarding it is to start to 'get it finally.' That’s why I’m passionate about making learning dynamic!

Me as a Teacher
During my lesson, I try to improve all skills of my students, starting from listening and speaking and then reading and writing.
Although I'm flexible and can adapt to your needs. So before the lesson, I need to know the results you want to achieve. It is crucial to me to bring value rather than teach useless things.
My lessons & teaching style
I can provide:
- speaking practice ( quizzes, discussions, vocabulary exercises, etc.);
- personal approach, focusing on your specific needs.

Kanykei is an excellent tutor. She is very punctual and organized. I appreciate that she is patient and adapts to her students' needs. She seems to be a genuinely caring person who is interested in helping you learn a language. She is very comfortable to work with and I do not feel awkward in making mistakes.

Kanykei is a really great teacher!
The time with her is flying fast - she's so fun to talk with. And she makes sure not only to teach me new words, but also to integrate them in my vocabulary. Learning Russian has never seemed to be as fun as with her!

Kanykei is the best teacher for beginner. Thanks to her kind explanation and patient attitude, I've learned basic grammars and started to make sentences using them. Also she offers tailored lesson. She prepares the material just for your level of Russian, and she encourages me to speak even though it would be very basic, broken sentences.
Before I met her, I had felt that I never communicate using Russian, but now I dream to chat in Russia someday.
Big thanks to her!

I appreciate Kanykei's patience and encouragement through my struggles to produce clearly spoken Russian. Although my progress is slow, she never gives up and understands how to nudge me toward the next proximal step in my path toward success.
