Hi! I’m a native Russian speaker and an experienced teacher of Russian conversation and Italian for beginners. With a background in writing and editing, I have a deep love for language and storytelling. I also speak English and French and am currently learning Turkish.
Beyond languages, I’m passionate about music (I studied academic vocal), literature, and philosophy. I host a podcast about inspiring women and love discussing psychology, history, and travel. I also have a skipper license—sailing is one of my true joys!
In my lessons, I focus on real conversations, making learning both natural and enjoyable. Let’s explore languages together!

Me as a Teacher
Мне нравится учить языки, и я восхищаюсь теми, кто набирается смелости и начинает учить какой-то новый язык с нуля. Я думаю, что изучая язык, мы расширяем рамки своего восприятия, учимся думать по-новому, учимся понимать других людей, узнаем, как живут другие и понимаем, что и мы можем думать, действовать, чувствовать, жить по-другому.
Я очень люблю слушать подкасты и смотреть лекции и документальные фильмы, поэтому часто советую их своим ученикам. Мы говорим об истории, культуре, психологии.
My lessons & teaching style
I strive to structure my teaching based on the interests, needs, and goals of each student. I would like to share my love for Russian and Italian languages, inspiring students so they want to learn the language while enjoying the process.

I was really pleased with the amount of patience Alisa has with my reading! It makes me feel comfortable to stumble around and learn until I become more proficient. It is also very helpful that we use the language as much as possible, and she is again very patient. Overall, a great experience so far!

Alisa is a very kind and motivating teacher. She was determined to keep speaking Russian to me, even when I tried to speak to English. This was helpful and I was able to learn additional vocabulary. She’s very patient and provides feedback in an effective and encouraging way.
