Being a native russian and kazakh speaker which are two really different languages from different language families I have got not only knowledge, but also sense of what might be a problem spot for most of my students.

Malika is a kind and patient teacher. Russian is definitely challenging, but she always explains the concepts well and the lessons are very engaging! I'm really looking forward to further lessons.

Malika is wonderful teacher. She reminds me of Russian grammar we have learned all the time, which confuses me a lot. I can see my progress with my Russian thanks to teacher Malika. 😀
