Bachelor of Education | 3+ years as a Russian teacher on Italki Hi, my name is Polina and I live in Russia, St. Petersburg. I love teaching and helping my students achieve their learning goals. I am open to your suggestions and recommendations to make the process of learning Russian more effective and useful for you. I enjoy knowing more about my students, so feel free to share with me your interests while practicing in Russian. I'm a good listener! I graduated with honours from a pedagogical university in Russia and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in education, English for young learners. I participate in the international volunteer program “Ambassadors of the Russian Language in the World” and I'm looking forward to the first expedition where I will share my language and culture with children abroad. You can approach me with any level of knowledge of the Russian language. I am ready to work with anyone who wants to learn and get to know Russia better. With beginners we start by introducing the alphabet, reading the first words, learning the first basic phrases in Russian, and we also learn a little grammar. I follow the textbook and combine the materials with interactive platforms to make learning fun and memorable. For students who want to maintain a high level of language proficiency I offer lessons with corrections of mistakes in conversation, which I send to you in chat and give comments at the end of the lesson on topics that you need to improve.

I had a great class with Polina. She is very thoughtful in planning our lessons. We had a productive session going over grammar and vocabulary while practicing speaking, listening, and reading.

Polina is a very good teacher!! I've waited a certain number of lessons before submitting the review, because I don't trust so much reviews given after one lesson. She has a very good method, she's able to follow specific requests to tailor the lesson on the student, she's reliable and efficient, and she's very kind and helpful. I highly recommend her !
