My first lesson with Natalie was great! I've really struggled when speaking Russian before, but somehow Natalie managed to keep me talking for a full 30min. She achieved the right balance between giving me time to recall difficult-to-remember words and to correct myself when I knew I wasn't using the right word, and asking prompting questions to keep me talking. Instead of interrupting my thoughts to correct me, she typed a list of words and phrases that I can work on before our next lesson. There was no awkwardness at all despite the fact that we'd never chatted before - the whole conversation was very relaxed and enjoyable :) I'll be booking more lessons with Natalie and I reccommend you to do the same!

I just had my first Russian lesson with Natalie and it was a very constructive lesson! She is a highly experienced quality teacher with a native English level. She had asked me what I wanted to work on and she focused on those areas. I had received many good corrections where it was needed and it was given in a positive and motivating manner. She also incorporated some games to help me recall vocabulary which made the lesson fun and introduced new words. I've had nearly 400 lesson on Italki with over 20 tutors now and she ranks as one of the top! I will already be taking more lesson with her. Thank you for the class and your patience. See you!

I really enjoy classes with Natasha. They are comfortable and friendly while remaining helpful and practical

I was going write in Russian to show off my Russian writing skills, but I wanted potential students to understand me. Natasha is an excellent teacher. She’s engaging, well informed and well rounded. Her knowledge facilitates and fuels conversations. Although today I rambled on about political stuff, but I did it in Russian so I’m proud of myself. Natasha is a damn good teacher.

Очень хороший преподаватель

A lovely class as always. Typing the words I learn is a really helpful method. Thanks!
