Привет! I'm Polina, and I'm here to make Russian fun, clear, and incredibly useful for you. 🪆🍯 🐻 I'm a native Russian speaker, a certified Cambridge teacher (CELTA), and a total language nerd – I also teach English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French! I've been in your shoes learning these languages myself and I know exactly what feels tricky for you. My life is a multilingual adventure! I've been a professional interpreter for high-level business deals, a tour guide leading trips on the Trans-Siberian Railway (yes, we had Russian lessons and honey tastings while watching Lake Baikal fly by!), and I've worked in all sorts of international companies. Your shortcut to my real-world Russian. 😉 Forget boring, one-size-fits-all lessons! My superpower is creating a space where you feel excited to learn and totally safe to make mistakes. My approach is shaped by the world-class CELTA method, which means our lessons are 100% about you and your goals. I'm your guide and your biggest cheerleader. Over the years, I haven't just taught languages – being a polyglot, I've become a detective of language patterns and now can explain the hidden connections in a way that just clicks. I'm also fascinated by how our brains learn and use brain-friendly tricks like mnemonics and storytelling to make words stick. I tailor every lesson to you, whether you're 5 or 75, a beginner or pro. Imagine a lesson where you're so engaged you forget you're even studying. That's my goal every single time! We'l...

Ce premier cours de russe avec Polina fut très intéressant sur de nombreux points de vue. J'ai appris des choses sur la prononciation, l'accentuation des mots et les particularités de la langue russe comme les sons duales en fin de mot (incroyable). Cela faisait parti de mes objectifs. Le cours se fait sans pression, Polina nous met immédiatement à l'aise, on ne se sent pas jugé. Pour une langue qui paraît difficile, c'est indispensable. This first Russian lesson with Polina was very interesting in many ways. I learnt about pronunciation, word stress and the peculiarities of the Russian language, such as the dual sounds at the end of words (incredible). That was one of my objectives. The lesson is completely stress-free; Polina puts us at ease straight away, and we don’t feel judged. For a language that seems difficult, that’s essential. спасибо !
