*If you don't see a suitable time in my schedule, feel free to contact me. As a freelancer, I can most likely adjust my availability*
I have a background in teaching English. However, for many years, I worked in the fashion industry. I currently live in Milan and am enjoying studying Italian. This experience has reminded me of how important it is to practice a foreign language with native speakers. It has also inspired me to offer myself as a conversational partner for those looking to improve their Russian. I have a wide range of interests, love traveling, and am genuinely interested in other people and cultures.Me as a Teacher
I find it crucial to perzonalize my classes, adapting them to the needs, interests and moods of my students. My teaching style also includes clear explanations, the ability to motivate, empathy, and a relaxed atmosphere. My lessons & teaching style
I prioritize conversational practice in all my classes, regardless of my students' proficiency level. If you are beyond the beginner stage, I will only speak Russian during our classes, encouraging you to do the same. Together, we’ll work on boosting your confidence and fluency in speaking the new language. Just relax and feel free to make mistakes, because they are an essential part of progress.5.0

Fantastic lesson, as always :) I've studied many languages and hundreds of hours on Italki over the last ten years, and have rarely have met such an accomplished, kind and dependable teacher as Elena! Highly recommend to any learners looking to speak more Russian.

Elena is a great teacher! She is always well-prepared for our lessons and I really appreciate how she creates customized materials to address my weaknesses with grammar and pronunciation. She also introduces new vocabulary to help me advance my skills and challenges me in a way that feels achievable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Russian.

If you're looking for a great Russian teacher, I would definitely recommend Mrs. Elena. She's very communicative, explains things clearly and most importantly makes my lessons enjoyable. So, take my advice, and you won't have to think twice ;)

Elena is very personable and approachable. For conversation practice she speaks very clearly, knows the right level to use and what questions to ask to ascertain knowledge level. Very recommended
