Hi! My name is Dasha. I am a teacher, traveler and language enthusiast! I live in Tokyo the city of neon lights, amazing restaurants and incredibly polite people. Before I moved to the Land of the Rising Sun I lived and worked in Saint Petersburg. For the past 3 years I have been sharing my time between these two wonderful locations in order to complete my course in psychology of negotiation. My latest hobbies taken up during lockdown are photography and cooking.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Russian for over 10 years now working with diverse learners of all levels. 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. My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons I use a variety of materials (textbooks, online resources... ). My teaching style is very flexible. However, creating my lessons I try to consider the following:
- strong grammatical foundation is important, where as well as learning what to say, you learn why you say it. Without this, you will find it very difficult to progress beyond 'phrase-book' Russian, where you can communicate in only a few set situations – with little chance of understanding the response.
- practical models to illustrate grammar in action.
- focus primarily on the spoken language through conversation and oral drilling.My teaching material

Dasha was was professional and patient and was quickly able to identify exactly which areas of my Russian needed improving. In addition to the face-to-face tutoring she has provided me with excellent materials and direction for independent study. Looking forward to the next lesson.

I really enjoyed my first lesson with this teacher. The style felt relaxed and natural, with a good balance between conversation and explanation. The teacher’s personality made the lesson engaging and comfortable, which helped a lot, especially at an early stage. Everything was clear, well-paced, and adapted to my level. I’m very happy to continue learning with them.
