Anna is an excellent teacher. She is energetic and very charismatic, encouraging and interested and highly professional. It is also fun to work with her. But she also puts demands on you, so you can not "get away" so easily. She knows how to address my particular needs and problems in a very good and structured way, and at the same time she is very sensitive to my goals and areas of interest. She gives me very useful tips and expressions that I could use in my own life, concerning my situation and what I mostly will talk about, when using my Russian in real life. A very good lesson. Well prepared, good preparatory material before the lesson, and stimulating exercises to follow up on. Also very good at documenting the lesson in real time, also so you can go back to it. It becomes like my personally adapted manual. Looking forward to the next time!

My experience taking lessons from Anna has been first-rate. I am grateful to her for her help. In keeping with her preference that the student speak as much as possible on topics of interest to him or her, the lessons are conversational. I appreciate how deftly she leads the discussion, ensuring that there aren't any lulls in it. However, I must emphasize that this does not mean sticking to subjects on which the student is well rehearsed. On the contrary, she encourages me to keep going when a complicated subject arises, even if it's one I have not often discussed in Russian. That is quite useful, though challenging, practice. Since she sends written corrections during the conversation, I have a full record to consult in order to determine which mistakes are habitual and which result from inattention or gaps in knowledge.

What a great lesson! Anna's easy and uplifting manner, combined with helpful suggestions and a wealth of knowledge, led to a terrific mood and conversation. I came away feeling enthusiastic and eager to learn more - exactly what one ought to gain from a good teacher. Until next time!
