Привет! I’m Ksenia—your friendly guide to real 🇷🇺 Russian from day one. Born in Russia, now based in 🇪🇸 Spain, I specialize in helping total beginners build a strong foundation and sound natural doing it.
With a 🧪 science background, I explain tricky grammar and pronunciation clearly and logically—perfect for analytical thinkers! But I also bring 🎉 fun, 🌍 cultural flavor, and a bit of humor to every lesson (yes, even 🥟 pelmeni talk!).
Let’s turn “Where do I even start?” into “Я говорю по-русски!”—with clarity, confidence, and a smile.

Me as a Teacher
I specialize in helping absolute beginners 🅰️—from learning your first Cyrillic letters to confidently forming sentences.
My superpower? 🎯 Making Russian pronunciation feel not only doable, but even enjoyable!
With years of 🌐 international teaching experience, I create personalized, motivating, and flexible lessons.
Whether you're methodical or free-spirited, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you step by step—until Russian feels like second nature. 💬💪
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are all about building confidence 💡 and real-life communication 🗣️. From day one, you’ll be speaking Russian—not just memorizing it.
We’ll focus on clear pronunciation 🔊, practical vocabulary 🧾, and everyday expressions 💬.
You’ll get fun and varied materials:
📖 Reading & discussion
🎙️ Pronunciation coaching
🎯 Mini-quizzes and exercises
And everything will be adapted to your goals and pace. Every lesson is warm, supportive, and full of moments where you’ll think: “Wow, I just said that in Russian!”

You want to learn effectively in an engaging environment with a qualified and helpful tutor? Don't look any further! With Kseniia, the lesson is so enjoyable that you don't even notice time passing. You'll learn about the subtleties of the language, how it's actually spoken, with real life and practical examples. You're basically diving into the language, in a full Russian-speaking environment. (Although, beginners, don't worry! Kseniia will help you in English if need be.) I love that I can immerse myself for the time of the lesson and be encouraged to speak. Kseniia's teaching style is student centered; she adapts the lessons to your particular needs. I'm grateful for her dedication in helping me learn Russian and I'm looking forward to our next lesson!

Kseniia is an absolutely brilliant teacher and worth every cent! She keeps the lessons fun and engaging, and with time has gradually pivoted to teaching me more and more in Russian, which I love. It helps me develop my listening and speaking comprehension so much faster and I can see enormous progress every week!

Kseniia is an amazing teacher, and would highly recommend her to anyone seriously wanting to learn the language. What I love is that our lessons are structured, so I can always see the progress I am making, and I love how she can take sometimes complicated concepts or ideas and simplify them for anyone to understand. I have already accomplished more than I thought I would have, thanks to her diligence, patience and support.

She has encouraged me to try various sounds and speaking and reading practise, prepared suitable materials for the class and as homework in-between lessons. Supported and encouraged me to become more comfortable and confident, praising attempts and correct pronunciation
