About Me
italki teacher since Aug 17, 2018InterestsBusiness & FinanceTravelFilms & TV SeriesMarketingTech
I’m Natalie, a Cambridge-certified English (CELTA) and Russian (KNLU) teacher, specializing in Business English & Cambridge exam preparation. With 10 years of teaching experience, including 6+ years on italki, I bring both expertise & passion to every session.
Having traveled across nearly all continents, I’ve learned that language is more than just grammar & vocab —it’s about connection, confidence, & culture. That’s why I created "Tea with Natalie", a relaxed, enjoyable, & effective approach to learning.
I speak Italian, German, and am currently learning French, so I truly understand the challenges of mastering a new language. Let’s make the journey enjoyable—book your first lesson today!Me as a Teacher
Teaching has always been my calling, but my journey has taken me far beyond the classroom. With my Cambridge certificate & a second degree in Business from Munich University of Applied Sciences, I’ve worked with corporate clients, exam candidates,& learners from all walks of life. I created "Tea with Natalie"—a relaxed yet highly effective approach inspired by my global experience. Whether you're preparing for Cambridge exams, TRKI (all six levels),or learning for work, emigration, or personal growth, I tailor lessons to your needs.
With my background in EdTech & investment banking, I bring real-world insights into business communication while making learning personal, engaging, & effective! My lessons & teaching style
"Learning a language should feel like sharing a good conversation over tea—natural, enjoyable, & inspiring."
With my "Tea with Natalie" approach, lessons are tailored to your goals—whether it's Business English, exam preparation, or learning for emigration. From kids to adults, I ensure you speak 85% of the time, using real-world materials.
I offer flexibility in my method—we can follow a coursebook, or use my personally designed study materials. In either case, lessons are structured & coherent, following Cambridge standards to ensure consistent progress.
Let's make learning enjoyable & effective—just like a great cup of tea (even if you're a coffee drinker, I promise you'll enjoy it too)!My teaching material

Natalie is a very patient and positive teacher. She always remembers where we left off and we usually review the previews lesson before we start with the new material. She has good material for beginners. If you come prepared to class, you'll see the results you want, and you'll improve your language skills. I've been with Natalie for a month.

Напишу отзыв по-русски ;) Наталия самый лучший учитель! Она делает занятия очень продуктивными и очень интересными. С моего слабенького английского (я только читала и слабо понимала, о себе говорила пару слов) за 3 месяца я начала говорить!!! Я разговорилась!!! Это самый лучший результат, о котором я не думала даже. Я настолько чувствую себя с ней комфортно, что кажется мы дружим всю жизнь! Никакого стресса, никаких переживаний, никакого прессинга. Никаких скучных книг и заданий. Материал очень хорошо запоминается и я им пользуюсь. Такого подхода не видела ни с одним преподавателем. Советую Наталию. Если есть еще свободные часы у нее, пробуйте!!! Результат с Наталией вы увидите очень быстро!!!

I always come out of Natali's lessons feeling like progress has been made!! Her ability to guide the lessons and keep us on track whilst giving me the space and time to work things out for myself is perfect for me! I leave each lesson feeling more motivated and ready for the next challenge!!

Je suis très satisfait par mon cours avec Natalia, ses explications et sa méthodologie sont claires, et elle dispose de ressources pour la préparation à l'examen que je vais passer (DCL). Elle comprend l'anglais et un peu le français, ce qui facilite les traductions lorsqu'on ne comprend pas un mot en russe.
