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!
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.
I can provide:
- speaking practice ( quizzes, discussions, vocabulary exercises, etc.);
- personal approach, focusing on your specific needs.My teaching material

Kanykei has been my teacher for several years now. I really like her as a teacher and as a person. She's been very flexible, adapting to my learning style and pace. I recommend her without hesitation.

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!

Thank you! :)
I was without my computer, so I struggled with italki on my tablet. My headphones didn't work for some reason, and she suffered trying to hear me, sorry! 🥲
Despite my technical issues, I enjoyed the class so much. I'll book another lesson, preferably with my technical issues fixed!
