Let’s make Russian truly yours. I see my profession as a way to communicate with people, exchange our views and thoughts, discover new worlds, and become a more fulfilled and tolerant personality. My short-term goals would be to provide my learners with practical vocabulary and grammar as well as a lot of speaking practice. I see my long-term goals as a self-discovery journey for my students and myself through the lens of learning a new language. I want my students to understand their learning styles, tastes, and preferences in life and develop enthusiasm for prioritizing and achieving their life goals as well. In my lessons, I follow the principle “Learn a little, practice it a lot”. I let my students talk 80% of the time during the lesson.

Having had many lessons with Maryna I can say with certainty she is a really talented teacher. She really has a knack for knowing exactly what needs to be pushed forward, what needs reviewed, and what concepts are probably new to me. She somehow makes every lesson fun and her encouraging and upbeat teaching style makes a tricky language feel very attainable to learn.

Maryna speaks fluently in English and Russian, and Ukrainian to boot, seamlessly in a way which facilitates learning and exhausts the mind. Do not sign up if you are not serious about learning. But do sign up if you are serious and need a kick in the a**. Maryna takes her work seriously and will help your language progress, without a doubt.
