Hello! My name is Maxim. I was born and raised in Russia, and now I live in Portugal. I speak the literary Russian language with the Moscow pronunciation. I am a linguist, translator and language teacher. I have been working with Russian and English languages for more than 20 years, but I'm only just starting on italki. My lessons are flexible and based on your goals. If you're just starting out, I’ll guide you through the basics—vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation—step by step and at your own pace. If you’ve already studied some Russian, we can focus on speaking. I’ll help you build confidence and fluency in a relaxed, supportive environment. Looking to move from intermediate to advanced? We’ll go beyond textbook Russian. You'll learn how to speak naturally and understand the culture behind the language—so you can sound like an educated native speaker, not just a learner. You’ll get helpful feedback, steady progress, and a space where it’s more than okay to make mistakes and ask questions.
