I am a professional Russian and Italian language teacher, translator and interpreter.
I am glad to help you to improve your language skills.
I’ve been studying foreign languages since my childhood, further transferring my passion into my profession. I’ve been always curious about other cultures and that is how I transferred to Italy, Bologna to study interpreting and explore this marvellous country. I have many colleagues who study Russian, for me, it is a precious experience as it lets me see my own culture and language from another point of view and notice how complicated and fascinating they are.

Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching Russian and Italian language online and on-site for the last 2 years through individual and group lessons. My methodology consists of a communicative approach that lets my students successfully resolve all communicative situations and speak from the very first lesson.
My certificates and degrees:
Master’s degree, 2020-2023, University of Bologna, Department of interpreting and translation, Interpreting
Bachelor's degree, 2016-2020, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Area Studies, Linguistics
Certificate as a Russian language teacher issued by an MSU RUSSIAN LANGUAGE CENTER
Certificate CILS C2 (knowledge of the Italian language)
My lessons & teaching style
I use a communicative approach aimed at speaking practice but I also proved firm fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary. We can also concentrate on four basic linguistic skills: reading, listening, writing or speaking or on preparation for an exam.
During lessons aimed at developing your speaking skills, I like discussing such topics as psychology, politics, environment and ecology, economics and architecture, and having in general meaningful conversations.
I am an easy-going and curious person, so if you are interested in taking a trial lesson with me, book it now :)

Irina was very friendly and patient and made the whole experience stress free! She corrected my mistakes without interrupting and was very encouraging, despite my Russian being very rusty. Thank you!

La mia prima lezione con Irina è andata molto bene. Irina crea un'atmosfera rilassata e amichevole in cui si può semplicemente chiacchierare. Alla fine, fornisce consigli utili su come migliorare. Proprio quello di cui ho bisogno.

Con Irina ho trovato una persona simpatica e paziente. Abbiamo svolto una lezione introduttiva, articolatasi sotto forma di un pressoché incessante dialogo, tanto che il tempo a nostra disposizione è volato via in un batter d'occhio.
