I’m Liza, I’m your new Russian‑language teacher!
I was born in Russia’s far‑north Murmansk Region, spent years studying and working in vibrant Moscow, and have now settled in Tel Aviv – ginger cat in tow (he’s already mastered lounging in the Middle‑Eastern sun). Outside the classroom you’ll usually find me soaking up art exhibitions, experimenting in the kitchen, or planning my next trip to explore a new culture. I look forward to sharing language, stories, and a lot of curiosity with you this term.
Me as a Teacher
9 years ago, I gave my very first Russian lesson in Hungary. Back then, I had no idea I’d fall head over heels for teaching. Since then I’ve guided different people from toddlers tracing their first Cyrillic letters to diplomats perfecting negotiation jargon and tech specialists prepping for Moscow relocations. I’ve created university electives, run intensive summer camps, and mentored fellow teachers, always adapting materials to each learner’s goals and interests.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons revolve around real communication, because language should feel alive in your mouth, not frozen on a page. With absolute beginners we tackle grammar in tiny, humorous bites and short videos that turn mistakes into laughs, so progress feels like an adventure. Once you’re comfortable, we switch to content‑rich sessions—news articles, podcasts, YouTube clips, whatever’s trending that week—so your Russian grows in step with the world’s conversations. Drawing on my media background, I’m passionate about dismantling the tired “matryoshkas‑and‑bears” image; instead I’ll guide you through the Russia of panel blocks, pop bangers, and internet memes that make up daily life.
