Start speaking Russian step by step and without stress!
Hi! I’m Yulia, a certified Russian teacher and language coach. I work with beginners and A1–B1 students, including partners of Russian speakers, who want to feel comfortable using Russian in daily life.
My lessons combine a clear structure with the communicative approach. We focus on speaking from the first lesson, useful grammar, and natural vocabulary for real situations — always at a calm, supportive pace.
I trained at Moscow State University (Russian Language Centre) and create my own materials, including courses, Prosto. Russian Podcast and a graded readers for beginners.

My teaching is built on three key principles.
1. Clear and open communication
I see our work as a partnership. We regularly review your progress, discuss what feels easy or challenging, and adjust the lessons accordingly. This helps us stay focused and move forward with confidence.
2. Goal-oriented learning
Your goals shape every lesson. Whether you want to speak more freely, improve listening, or build a strong foundation, I design each class with clear objectives and practical outcomes in mind.
3. Supportive and realistic approach
I create a calm and encouraging environment where mistakes are part of the process, and doubts don’t stop your progress. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured, practical, and focused on real communication.
I use the communicative approach, so you actively speak Russian and learn how to use it in real-life situations. I also integrate coaching techniques to support reflection, motivation, and steady progress. My teaching is designed specifically for adult learners, with clear explanations and realistic goals.
I offer two lesson formats:
1. Structured lessons
Based on a coursebook and selected materials. We work on speaking, listening and reading with a clear plan and progression.
2. Speaking lessons
Conversation-focused classes built around topics relevant to your life, with guidance, feedback, and useful vocabulary.My teaching material

I really enjoy the way Yulia teaches. As a fellow language teacher, I can firmly say that she is well-prepared and very competent in the subject matter. I highly recommend Yulia for anyone who wants to improve their Russian skills. :)

Юля действительно лучшая и самая эффективная учительница и мне всегда нравятся мои уроки. Она понимает мой уровень русского языка и то, что мне нужно практиковать. Благодаря ей каждый урок и веселый и полезный. Я так улучшил свой русский, потому что она знает мои сильные и слабые стороны.
Yulia is just the best and most effective teacher and I always enjoy my lessons. She understands my Russian level and what I need to practice. Thanks to her, each lesson is fun and useful. I have improved my Russian so much because she knows my strengths and weaknesses.
