Hi there! My name's Galina and I'm here to help you learn Russian.
✏️ Although I studied International Law, I've spent the last ten years teaching languages — and I absolutely love it.
🌿 I'm a curious, creative and experienced teacher who believes in warm, adaptable lessons.
🗣 I speak several languages and love helping others find their voice.
🎨 Outside of teaching, I enjoy painting, nature, architecture, music and history — and I've also worked in a library!
✨ I believe language learning is a way to explore the world — and yourself.
📍 Originally from Russia, I’ve lived in Germany and Turkey, and I'm now based in the UK (it's not cheap here 😅)Me as a Teacher
Teaching languages is one of my greatest joys. Over the past ten years, I've worked with people of all ages and backgrounds — from complete beginners to fluent speakers brushing up their skills.
I'm especially passionate about creating a warm, trusting atmosphere where learners feel seen, encouraged and supported.
Over the years, I’ve helped students prepare for language exams, job interviews, doctor appointments and academic studies — in a language that may not feel fully “theirs” yet. My focus is always on the student: what exactly they need, and how to best meet those needs in a clear, thoughtful and personalised way. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are student-focused and flexible — whether you need a clear plan or want to change direction on the spot, I’m happy to adapt. I use a mix of trusted materials from established publishers and custom-made resources tailored to your goals. Every lesson includes lots of speaking (role-plays, tasks, or free conversation), plus some grammar, vocabulary, listening and pronunciation practice. I also give homework and believe that steady progress comes from learning both in and outside of class. Lessons are structured, supportive — and often full of humour too!My teaching material
