Здравствуйте! Hello! Bonjour! Hallo! Ciao! ¡Hola! Olá! 你好! こんにちは! Γειά σου! नमस्ते!
I'm a professional online teacher of the Russian language with a master’s degree in Russian as a Foreign language at Moscow State University.
I love languages and have learned several from Europe and Asia. I deeply understand your challenge, to help you I improve my teaching skills every day and explain any material in the easiest way possible.
My first master’s degree is in psychology, I can help you with reducing stress before exams, public speaking, and culture shock.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching online since 2011 and it is my full-time job. I have taught people from many countries and different ages, children (3-15 years old) and adults (16-90+).
If you have doubts about your age – “It's never too late and never too early”. ⌛
I will be glad to help you with:
✅ general learning of Russian from 0 level to C2
✅ practicing speaking in Russian with accent reduction
✅ Russian exams at any level
✅ learning Russian for business
✅ public speaking
✅ homework
✅ writing
and subject including
✅ Russian history
✅ literature
✅ arts (my bachelor’s degree is in the arts).My lessons & teaching style
I offer a personal program for every student depending on their goals and interests. The books, sites, and materials are chosen personally for your level, interests, and goals as well. I use the best from a lot of teaching methods and my own created program and materials.
✅ For a class with me you need:
The Internet and a computer (for more in-depth study – a Russian keyboard) ⌨
For ideal listening – headphones (with an external microphone is a big + ) but without headphones, it’s also OK
And be on time ⏲
That’s it. ✔
❓ Any other questions?
Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I'm looking forward to meeting you in my class! 🤟My teaching material

Another excellent lesson. We spent time learning vocabulary, Kristina is very good at explaining uses for words and their origin. Really encourages me to keep learning Russian and promotes my enthusiasm for the language. A brilliant teacher

Another great lesson with Khristina. I am continuously amazed at the level of detail we can go into during our lessons when she explains complex grammar topics. I always feel I leave the class knowing more of the Russian language and leave feeling l excited that I actually understood the grammar which is all explained in examples. Khristina is patient, very good at providing history to any topic we discuss and enthusiastic about teaching her native language. The lessons go by so quickly! Thank you for making Russian such a joy to learn!

Xristina est une super prof! Elle s'adapte toujours aux besoins de l'élève. Peut ralentir quand le rythme d'apprentissage l'exige, et est capable de bien expliquer les notions grammaticales et de vocabulaire.
