About Me
italki teacher since May 12, 2020InterestsMusicPets & AnimalsReadingTravelHistory
Привет! I’m Katya, a passionate and certified English/Russian teacher with over 9 years of experience in language education. I'm originally from Russia and I’ve dedicated my career to helping students of all levels—whether you're just starting out or aiming to think naturally in your target language. For the past 5 years, I’ve been teaching Russian on italki, where I’ve helped countless learners build confidence and fluency. My teaching philosophy revolves around real-world context, drawing from my diverse interests in music, literature. I'm looking forward to meeting you!Me as a Teacher
I graduated from the VSU in 2016, and I got a master degree in a sphere of education in 2020.
In 2016 I passed FCE.
In 2018 I passed TKT. It is a special exam for teachers which gives you an opportunity to teach English as a second language in more than 60 countries.
In 2019 I studied in Ireland.
I like making up my own exercises that`s why my classes are usually entertained and informative.My lessons & teaching style
During my English classes I normally use books and a lot of extra worksheets which can improve and boost your level
During my Russian classes I normally use 4-5 books: grammar, speaking. listening+ my extra materials- videos, worksheets, pictures
My favourite part of teaching is to see that my students understand a language, start thinking in it and, of course, speaking.
After classes I try to give a feedback to my students about their progress. Of course, I send homework if you`ve got enough free time and desire to do it. If not, I don`t insist because you have to enjoy classes and not be stressed about one unfinished exercise.My teaching material

Katya excels at customizing her teaching to match her students' needs and learning speeds. Her lessons are always well-prepared, engaging, and filled with relevant materials that not only challenge but also inspire progress at a comfortable pace.
What truly distinguishes Katya is her passion for teaching and her dedication to student success. She consistently provides additional resources and support, going above and beyond to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the material. Her patience and encouragement have been key in boosting my confidence in speaking and understanding Russian.
Her insights into Russian culture have also been a highlight, adding depth to my learning and sparking a greater interest in the language and its cultural background.
Katya's professionalism, warmth, and dedication make her an exceptional teacher. Her lessons are not just educational but also a delightful experience, thanks to her friendly and supportive approach.
I wholeheartedly recommend Katya

Katya is genuinely an amazing teacher, as someone who is very insecure and anxious I have felt at ease with her since my first lesson. The lessons themself have a very casual yet educative atmosphere, where I can freely make jokes and share things about my own life as well as my culture. I don't have to worry about asking too many questions, as she's always been happy to answer any of them. She's very informative, and knows how to explain both simple and complex topics very well in clear and understandable ways.
Since I've started learning Russian with her, I feel like I've improved a lot in a relatively short time, and am looking forward to continuing to learn more with her :)
