Привет! 🤗 My name is Natalia and I am a native Russian speaker. I am a qualified Russian and English teacher with over 9 years of teaching experience both face-to-face and online. ✅ I have Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Linguistics and Pedagogy. Also, I am a PhD student studying Theory and Methodology of teaching foreign languages and cultures. I am learning foreign languages and enjoy this process. 😍 I am fond of reading, traveling, meeting new people and exploring cultures, holidays and traditions. Art is one of my favorite topics to study and contemplate on. I like paintings, music, literature, movies and architecture. I am an open-minded person who likes learning new things.

Natalia is an outstanding teacher, truly professional and exemplary in her teaching. She is effectively bi-lingual (English and Russian). I found her to be extremely helpful and patient. She has made my russian language journey a happy, exciting and thorougly enjoyable one (she explains clearly to me every time). She is committed, focus , professional in every aspect . I always look forward to her lessons. I am very lucky and privileged to have her as my Russian language teacher. An excellent teacher indeed !

Natasha's approach to teaching Russian is nothing short of perfect. She knows how to motivate you to keep going, and she puts in a lot of effort to ensure that you improve your Russian. She has really helped me untangle the Russian language.

Natalia is a wonderful teacher - best teacher I have had for learning Russian. She is especially good at identifying areas for improvement - in my case it was speaking and pronunciation - and focusing on what will have the greatest impact on your learning. She is smart, patient, encouraging, and very easy to talk with, making lessons fun and enjoyable. If you are interested in learning Russian, then you should definitely try a lesson with Natalia - you will not be disappointed.
