About Me
italki teacher since Apr 30, 2024InterestsReadingEnvironment & NatureHistoryMusic
I am a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language, a native Russian speaker, and a graduate of Moscow State University — the most prestigious university in Russia.
Originally from Russia, I live in France now.Me as a Teacher
Teaching is not just my profession, it's my passion. I regularly participate in professional development courses, educational events, and conferences to stay up to date with the latest teaching methods and to exchange experience with colleagues from around the world.
To support learners beyond the classroom, I also created a YouTube channel called "Russian Language Lessons for Foreigners", where I share practical tips, explanations, and engaging content to make learning Russian both effective and enjoyable.
My teaching style is friendly, patient, and student-centered. I believe that everyone can learn Russian — with the right approach and a bit of motivation!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conducted in Russian to ensure maximum immersion in the language environment. I speak clearly and slowly, and use English or French only when absolutely necessary.
Each lesson is comprehensive and includes:
• phonetic practice,
• grammar explanations,
• thematic conversations and situational dialogues,
• reading and listening exercises with follow-up questions,
• vocabulary presented mainly through images and context.
At the end of each session, we watch and listen to songs by popular Russian performers — a fun and effective way to boost listening skills and cultural awareness.My teaching material

Excellent instructor! I have a college minor in Russian language but have not had any practice or exposure in ~20 years so I've forgotten a LOT. I was looking for something structured to help me with the gaps in my memory of grammar while encouraging reading/pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, and practice of grammar. Diana does an excellent job with each course with weekly homework and supplemental, videos to watch between classes. Highly recommend!

Excellent instructor who is always prepared and focuses on grammar (explaining the rules each time) with the whole class providing opportunities to read, speak, and listen. Homework and videos given after each class to keep you busy until the next course. Highly recommend!
