Hi! I’m a professional teacher, translator, and interpreter of Russian and Italian, and I’m here to help you improve your language skills with confidence and enthusiasm.
My passion for languages began in childhood and has grown into a fulfilling career. Motivated by a deep curiosity for other cultures, I moved to Bologna, Italy, where I studied interpreting and immersed myself in this rich and beautiful culture.
After working as a consultant, I realized my true passion is teaching languages. I'm here to help you speak confidently and enjoy the learning process. Let’s connect and start your language journey together!Me as a Teacher
For the past fiveyears, I’ve been teaching Russian and Italian both online and in person, offering individual and group lessons. My teaching approach is rooted in the communicative method, which enables students to actively engage in real-life conversations and start speaking from the very first lesson.
Qualifications and Certifications:
Master’s Degree in Interpreting (2020–2023)
University of Bologna
Bachelor’s Degree in Linguistics (2016–2020)
Lomonosov Moscow State University
Certified Russian Language Teacher
Russian Language Center at Lomonosov Moscow State University
CILS C2 Certificate – Proficiency in ItalianMy lessons & teaching style
I use a communicative approach focused on speaking practice, while also providing a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary. Lessons can be tailored to your goals—whether it's improving the four core language skills (reading, listening, writing, and speaking) or preparing for an exam.
For speaking-focused lessons, I enjoy meaningful conversations on topics like psychology, politics, the environment, economics, architecture, etc.
I'm an easy-going and curious person, so if you'd like to try a lesson with me—book your trial now! 😊My teaching material

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.

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!
