My students are language enthusiasts and business people who need Russian for work. Among my corporate gigs are Sumitomo Forestry and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. I am greatly passionate about my profession, and I like helping others to improve their Russian. I’m interested in many different topics, and I’m happy to focus on my learners’ goals.

Dasha is wonderful to learn with. She notices right away where I’m having trouble and explains things clearly, often in English when I need extra help as a beginner. She’s incredibly patient and keeps the lessons fun and creative, using textbooks and all kinds of unique resources. Thanks to her support, I’ve gotten into a really good learning routine and feel much more confident.

Thank you for the lesson, Dasha! It was great. This was my first lesson, so we discussed my goals moving forward and did exercises on gender. Looking forward to the next one!
