Are you looking for an English or Russian teacher for your children or yourself? Are you a complete beginner, or do you want to brush up on your skills?
Hi,
I am an ambitious, hardworking, and professional teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics with a specialization in English and Russian. Like you, I am keen on learning foreign languages, and I understand all the difficulties you may face. Also, I am an avid traveler who enjoys visiting new places and learning about new cultures.
Me as a Teacher
I am an English, Russian, and Belarusian language instructor with experience as a teacher for more than 6 years. I have worked with students from different countries and cultures. I am patient and can adapt the lessons to your learning goals.My lessons & teaching style
During our lessons, we will focus on the language you wish to learn with an emphasis on speaking. The main goal is to create a friendly atmosphere and make you feel confident. In our trial lessons, we will discuss the areas which require improvement and determination of your speaking skills. My teaching style is mainly based on the communicative approach, so we will use your target language from the very first class.
I am looking forward to meeting you. See you in our lessons!My teaching material

I was hesitant to get a teacher to start my Russian learning journey as I've been trying to learn on my own for a few months now, and Svetlana was extremely patient with my almost non-existent Russian. I feel like she's the missing key to opening my Russian skills!

After a little more than 50 lessons with Svetlana, I must say that I'm very pleased with my progress. I started Russian as an absolute beginner and now I can at least survive when I'm travelling to Russia for my work, I can understand better our Russian speaking customers and I can write/read simple conversations. Working with Svetlana has always been engaging and she motivates me to do my best. You can tell that she cares about her students. The material we use and homework are well designed. She doesn't hesitate to share personal experience, and it's always cool and useful to learn about each other's cultures.
Thanks!

I’ve been learning English for a long time, I’ve tried different ways, different teachers. But I formed an alliance with Svetlana. I always prepare for class, although no one forces me to do it. It’s interesting for me to communicate with Svetlana, because it’s just interesting, it gives me motivation. Svetlana also sends interesting and practical tasks to complete as homework. She is truly an amazing teacher, thank you!
