Привет! My name is Ekaterina. I’m a native Russian speaker and a certified professional teacher. I was born and raised in Russia and currently live in Spain, which helps me work effectively with international students.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Russian Philology, a Master’s degree in Digital Humanities, and a PhD in Philology with a specialization in Russian Literature. I am also trained in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL).
I enjoy reading, cinema, creative writing, and cats, but my greatest passion is teaching. I love helping students understand Russian in a clear, supportive, and engaging way, and I would be happy to help you reach your language goals.
I have taught people of different ages and backgrounds, both at school and university levels. In addition, I have extensive experience teaching and researching Russian literature, and I often use literary texts as a tool for language learning.
When creating the study plan, we’ll focus on your goals, interests, and level. I’ll choose materials that make our lessons dynamic, diverse, and truly effective. From the very first class, we’ll pay special attention to speaking practice and cultural insights — because it’s impossible to understand a language without understanding the culture reflected in it.
The lessons will include:
- Activities and tasks tailored to the student’s needs and goals.
- Systematic practice in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
- Authentic materials that promote language immersi...My teaching material

The first lesson with Ekaterina has been really interesting and motivating. Well organised, supported by interesting material, the first assessment blended seamlessly into a regular lesson which proved to be very productive right from the start. The general impression is that there is underlying structure, preparation and dedication to teaching, in other words a really professional attitude which I totally appreciated!

I enjoyed my first lesson with Ekaterina. She prepared material to assess my level and discussed my learning goals. We had a nice conversation, read and discussed an article. I look forward to future lessons with her.

I loved the class with Ekaterina 😁 I am a real beginner, but she made me feel me very comfortable, and after one class I can already use some basic phrases in Russian. I am looking forward to our next class.
