✅MORE THAN 1300 HOURS ONLINE and 10 000 HOURS ONSITE CONVERSATION PRACTICE Hello my future students! My name is Nadezhda. My native language is Russian. I want and can help you learn the Russian language. See you in class! ✅We will NOT have lessons, but rather conversations!!! ✅Thus you will get this gut feeling how to express yourself entirely in Russian without cheating by translating the words in English here and there! ➡️The topics I feel particularly professional enough, are Soviet Union, Russia, cultural differences, history, russian mentality, social changes and many many more! My conversations are useful for the following individuals: ✅ Courageous ones willing to overcome the fear of speaking ✅ The ones who are irritated when the teacher gives you English translation and doesn't create the feeling of having an entirely Russian class. •Believe me, 97% of Russian population DOESN'T speak ANY English, and NO ONE will translate anything to you. ✅ Those ones who want to replace the focus of their conversation from learning to actually speaking and exchanging the information!

Nadezhda is a wonderful tutor, I enjoy my twice a week conversations with her. It's all in Russian. I speak at an A1 to a low A2 level and probably only know about 2,000 words (if I had to guess) and she can speak at my level. I turn on the subtitles in MS Teams and look up words or small phrases I don't know. She is patient while I do this. All around she is a rockstar!!!

Nadezhda is very nice person and encourages you to talk and express yourself, makes me confident when speaking Russian, and she can revise your pronuncation, it's a good experience. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your patience. It is a difficult job to work with a beginner, and you do it great!

Just had my first class with Nadezhda and she was brilliant. She is extremely experienced and this comes across very quickly. I felt I was safe in her capable hands and could push myself to speak more, despite making mistakes. She is excellent with the communication method, leading a dialogue using the Q&A format. I will definitely continue with our lovely teacher. Many thanks, much appreciated.
