Russian with confidence: real conversations, culture & grammar without panic 📚 Hi! My name is Dina, and I’m a Russian teacher living abroad: a little like Turgenev, the Russian writer who spent years in Europe but never stopped writing and thinking about Russia. Russian language, literature, and culture are still a huge part of my life, and that’s exactly what I bring into my lessons: real conversations, grammar without panic, memes, stories, and cultural context 🪆 I have over 8 years of experience teaching Russian and English. I have a degree in English Language and History from Kazan Federal University, an international TESOL certificate, and a certificate in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language. I use a communicative approach: we apply grammar in real speech, practice a lot of speaking, and work with real-life situations, culture, and living Russian language. My goal is to help you speak Russian naturally, confidently, and without fear of making mistakes 🇷🇺✨ If you don’t just want to “study Russian,” but actually speak it, understand Russian culture, humor, and feel more confident I’ll be happy to help. In our first lesson, we’ll define your level, goals, and choose the format that works best for you: speaking practice, grammar, literature, culture, or a mix of everything. Book a trial lesson and let’s make Russian clear, alive, and truly yours 🤝🏻

First lesson with Dina was amazing! It was clear that she prepared very well and she showed a lot of interest in understanding where I'm coming from and what are my goals in the language. I look forward to out next lessons!

I was fairly impressed by Dina's lesson methodology. She really takes the time to organize and lay out the lesson in advance, unlike many tutors on iTalki. She really respected and took into consideration my wishes and goals and came up with useful words and questions for our lesson. She made me talk a lot about advanced topics (which I had specifically requested). I would definitely recommend her to anyone wishing to polish their Russian skills and push themselves to overcome their fear of speaking, as well as improve their level in Russian.

I had my 3rd lesson and I can already say that she does a perfect job in teaching Russian. She focuses on those things that are essential to learn thoroughly in the beginning... you'd have a hard time relearning them later on. There is also enough room/time in lessons to incorporate topics, words, and phrases one is very interested in learning. She also provided me with vocab cards, where each word is used in a sentence, paired with a picture and an explanation. Already looking forward to the next lesson!
