About Me
italki teacher since Aug 29, 2016InterestsPets & AnimalsTechScience
I am a Russian native speaker and was born in the USSR, but that experience was very short-lived. I studied software engineering initially, but decided to pursue education in languages (English and French) both in my home country and in France. I also studied German a long time ago, but I never spoke well enough. I like swimming, cooking and being exposed to complex ideas. I have a love and hate relationship with refined carbohydrates.Me as a Teacher
My goal as a teacher is to provide the student with necessary tools or environment to help them achieve their language goals. That includes but not limited to providing with materials, learning paths, opportunities to improve their language skills and learn the building blocks of the language. I can help set specific goals and work towards them step by step.
Learning a language should not be too hard, but it can be challenging and it definitely takes time. Therefore I believe that some methods are better than others, and it's worth focusing on activities that are the most efficient.My lessons & teaching style
I am currently offering several Russian language courses, and I have included detailed descriptions together with suggested materials in the course section.
I highly encourage my students to make sure Russian is part of their daily life, especially when they start to move beyond basics. Good language immersion is a fun and a less stressful way to learn a language. I also recommend finding language exchange partners to explore the culture, make friends and stay motivated!My teaching material

I've been taking regular lessons from Dasha for several months now and feel her teaching is only getting better and better over time. I could not be happier with my choice of teachers and would highly recommend her to anyone studying Russian.

I finished 7 months worth of lessons with Dasha. I went from knowing the cyrillic alphabet and possessing a very limited vocabulary, to being comfortable with day to day Russian and having our lessons be conducted almost completely in Russian.
Lessons were really fun, and involved a lot of conversation, reading and writing practice, as well as discussions about Russian and Ukrainian culture, food, and entertainment. I looked forward to them every week, making learning enjoyable and not a chore that I would get bored of and give up on
Dasha encouraged me to be well-rounded and made sure I gave attention to all aspects of language learning - productive and receptive - covering speaking, writing, reading and listening which helped me advance really quickly. Dasha would also advise me to take breaks as necessary to ensure that I did not burn out
I am immensely grateful for the lessons I've had with Dasha and I absolutely recommend her as a teacher, 9000%! Thank you so much again!

I couldn't have found a better person to guide me through the process of finding a better place to live in Odessa. Dasha helped me providing me better resources for me to save money while I stay in Odessa. Thanks a lot for the tips and links and looking forward to talking to you more in the future.

I started Russian lessons with Dasha a few months ago as a heritage speaker and I’ve had amazing development. I feel way more confident in my Russian abilities after even a few lessons with her. She always suggests interesting videos and items to discuss during our lessons, and is really open to any subject of conversation. Highly recommend Dasha if you are in a similar boat where you want to hone in on your skills.

Dasha is always amazing, this time even more so when she created a method to embed my vocabulary challenges into a fictional text that solidified my learning in an innovative way.
