Hello everyone! My name is Helen. I was born and raised in a small city of Russia, Akhtubinsk. After that, I studied linguistics in Volgograd State University for 4 years. For me, learning a new language is a great opportunity to know more about different cultures and people.
I speak fluently Spanish. This is my favourite language and that's the reason why I decided to teach it here on Italki.
Currently I'm living in Ecuador. I`m happily married and love this country. Never imagined I could be in such a beautiful place.
If you're interested in such topics as culture, travelling and if you want to practice your spoken Russian or Spanish, don't hesitate to contact me.

Me as a Teacher
I really enjoy talking and I'd be happy to teach you how to speak properly Spanish and Russian.
My teaching method is very simple. Practice makes it perfect!
We'll practice new vocabulary, grammar rules and speaking. I can also teach you about my culture, music, movies and places to visit in Russia and Ecuador.
Besides, I'm a very patient teacher and I'll always correct your mistakes :)

I’ve written a ton of reviews already but Elena really is a great teacher. I struggle with proper stress on Russian words when reading. Elena then rewrote the lesson by replacing O with A and it literally required my brain lol. Really fun teacher with awesome techniques.

Мне очень понравилось работать с Еленой. Елена приятная в общении девушка, сразу нашла для меня подходящее задание, хотя я совершенно не владею испанским, мы провели с пользой занятие и я уже выучила новые слова. Елена отвечала на все волнующие меня вопросы. Я обязательно продолжу с ней заниматься испанским.

I just completed my 100th lesson with Elena. I want to publicly say thank you. I'm so lucky to have found her. She is always dependable, thoroughly professional. I trust her completely. She is a gifted teacher with a secret super power: the ability to make detailed and extremely helpful class notes during the lesson, as we are talking . . . without pausing or breaking eye contact! The AI notes the app provides are useful, but Lena's are superior. I look forward to many more lessons with her. She is a gem, and I almost forget to mention, very warm and funny!

Мой первый урок прошел очень интересно! Мой испанский пока что на нуле, но Елена хорошо обьясняет, приводит примеры с русского и английского (на которых я говорю), и так намного легче запоминать) Мне очень понравилось и я думаю, что буду продолжать изучать испанский с Еленой.

I had a wonderful second lesson with Elena. She meets you at your level but pushes you a bit as well. She takes notes during the whole lesson and gives examples when you don't understand a concept/word. Her lessons are structured very well and she is good at guiding the conversation.

Elena is a great teacher. She is patient, knowledgeable, and very helpful with pronunciation. She makes the lessons fun and engaging. She makes sure we practice the new words or grammar we learned in the previous lesson too. My Russian vocabulary, speaking, and reading has improved a lot thanks to Elena. Would highly recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to speak Russian at any level. большое спасибо Лена!
