Multilingual teacher with 8 years of experience bringing Russian language and culture to life I am a native Russian speaker with advanced knowledge of Italian, English, and Chinese, and I am currently studying French. For nearly eight years, I worked as a Russian/English ↔ Chinese interpreter, gaining valuable cross-cultural experience that I bring into every lesson. I’m also currently working toward my teaching diploma, but while I’m completing my exams, I’m here on Italki as a community tutor — so take this chance to learn with me!

I focus especially on reading and listening, but can also help with writing, pronunciation, and fluency. Lessons are fully customizable, whether for children or adults, beginners or advanced learners. Moreover, I believe that to truly master Russian, it’s essential to explore its literature, history, and traditions to gain a deeper understanding of the country. That’s why I always try to share insights about Russian culture in every lesson. I tailor my lessons to suit your goals: we focus on topics and vocabulary that interest you, while also including grammar and expressions that are essential for everyday life and advanced discussions. I pay special attention to reading and listening, as they build a solid foundation, but I also help with writing (checking homework, essays) and pronunciation (working on difficult sounds like “Р” or “Ы” etc.).

Maria has show me such a lot in such a short period of time within our first lesson, I feel much more confident and comfortable with reading the alphabet and being able to pronounce words. I would highly recommend her to anybody that is starting Russian and would like to progress as a beginner! I look forward to my next lesson.

I recently had a pronunciation class with Maria, and she made a great first impression. As an advanced Russian speaker (B2-C1), I doubted if I could learn something new, but Maria has a remarkable ear for detail - she perfectly identified subtle nuances in my speech that other teachers usually overlook. Specifically, she pointed out how my native language influences the way I pronounce certain sounds like ши, жи, ци, and лэ. Besides, Maria has a very warm, communicative, and positive personality, while remaining professional and business-like. As a nervous person, I really appreciated this balance - a stress-free environment combined with a highly competent teacher. Simply put, Maria is a next-level tutor. Her exceptional teaching skills are worth every penny, and she is perfect for those looking to reach true fluency in Russian :)
