My name is Anastasiia. I am not only a native Russian speaker, but I have also completed a professional retraining program at MSU in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language. I am continuing my studies in Theory and Methods of Foreign Language Teaching. I live in Serbia and study foreign languages myself, so I understand the challenges students face. That is why I aim to explain Russian in a clear and systematic way, with a focus on real communication. As a teacher, I am deeply interested in finding the most effective ways for my students to learn Russian. Every new student is an opportunity to embark on an exciting language-learning journey, and with each student, this journey is unique. I genuinely enjoy getting to know people from different countries and cultures. In our lessons, we speak a lot, and grammar is explored through practical, real-life communication. I specialize in working with A0–B1 level students. I work using the communicative approach: during our lessons we speak a lot and gradually work through grammar through practice. I pay close attention to each student’s goals and adapt the lessons to their level and interests. My goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere and help you start speaking Russian with confidence.

The teacher adapted the lesson to my level, had a clear plan going forward, was very patient and helpful and encouraging when filling in the gaps in my vocabulary - looking forward to many more lessons with her

A great follow up lesson after I missed class a few weeks. Almost done with learning all the alphabets and learned new phrases!

I’m very satisfied with Anastasiia’s lesson. She is very energetic and patient, and she really encourages her students to speak a lot. Even though my level is not good at all, I was able to speak Russian for the entire 30 minutes. I feel a great sense of fatigue—but in a very "positive" way, like after sports or a good workout. I highly recommend her, even for beginners.
