Hello everyone! My name is Polina and I'm from Russia. Currently I'm doing my master's degree in teaching Russian as a foreign language (The Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia). I'm focused on self-improvement and I have many interests: languages, sports, music, reading, video games, board games, traveling.

Polina is fantastic! She made me speak Russian from the very first lesson, which I really love. Her lessons involve a mix of grammar lessons and conversation practice that works really well.

Great lesson! I have learned more grammar in two classes with Polina than I learned in one semester with another teacher. She moves at a quick pace through the grammar so that I can start speaking as soon as possible. I am enjoying my lessons with her!

Polina is an amazing Russian teacher! She’s full of energy and makes every lesson exciting, even the tricky parts suddenly feel simple when she explains them. Her classes are fun, inspiring, and full of fascinating cultural touches. Learning with her just fantastic.

I find it hard to imagine how a language teacher could be better than Polina. She’s friendly, fun, professional, extraordinarily intelligent, and endlessly patient in the face of my relentless stupid mistakes! She is incredibly encouraging, and I am indebted to her for making the process of learning such a challenging language feel accessible and achievable. I was very quickly given the confidence to converse (in a fashion), and all the while, errors in word use or pronunciation (however subtle), assiduously noted and carefully corrected. Lesson topics are tailored to my personal interests and her homework resources are clearly the product of a great deal of care and effort. Every aspect of learning with her has become a real source of enjoyment in my weekly routine. Спасибо!

Polina is patient, explains concepts clearly, and tailors each lesson with a great mix of topics. Regular new material keeps lessons engaging while steadily improving real-life Russian skills.
