Hi and welcome! I'm native Russian speaker + Italian teacher + I speak English, French, a bit Turkish. Former TV editor who now helps people survive Russian grammar—basically the same stress, but less tears involved. I love music (studied academic vocal, but then decided to stop torturing neighbours), sport & existential crises. I host a podcast in Russian about inspiring women, wrote a book about femme fatale. Also, I'm part mermaid 🧜‍♀️ Freediving, swimming, anything with water... Oh, and I sail. Fun fact: Moscow is a "port of five seas" thanks to Soviet engineering. Ridiculous? Yes. Love it? Absolutely. Lessons will be surely very boring and painful. Dark humor is optional.

Alisa is an outstanding teacher! She is patient, kind, and engaging. I have learned so much from her, and our lessons always fly by. I can't recommend Alisa highly enough, and I look forward to taking more lessons with her whenever our very different time zones allow it.

I've taken many classes with Alisa now, and she has been very patient but also pushes you to learn the material by checking your knowledge throughout the lesson and not just blowing through topics. She pauses to reteach things that may not have stuck to ensure I'm not lost in the lesson. This keeps me serious about learning but she does it in a caring way where the atmosphere is still positive. Great teacher!

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.
