Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Кристина. I’m a professional Russian language teacher and speech therapist with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in helping students develop clear pronunciation and build a strong foundation in grammar—so you don’t just memorize the rules, you feel the language.
I’ve taught over 3,000 lessons to students from 40+ countries, from total beginners to advanced speakers. My students quickly overcome the language barrier and start speaking with confidence—even if they used to be intimidated by Russian cases or the sound “Ы”!
Let’s turn Russian from a “difficult” language into your language—clear, vibrant, and alive. I look forward to seeing you in class!
I apply a classical, structured approach to help you master Russian. My lessons cover all 5 key components of language: listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. I use modern Russian textbooks, my professional expertise, and authentic materials from Russian media to create a comprehensive learning experience.
While I guide and support you throughout the process, remember: LEARNING IS NOT FREE—YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION! Your progress depends on your investment of time and effort. The more you put in, the faster and more successfully you’ll improve.
My lessons are structured, clear, and engaging, using systems and visual aids. Together we make great progress in Russian!
My teaching philosophy is built on structure, consistency, and immersion. While lessons with me will give yo...My teaching material

I have been taking lessons with Kristina since November, 2023. Kristina is a super teacher with lots of patience, diligence, and energy. Kristina pushes you to develop your Russian while maintaining a comfortable classroom environment. This is a very difficult balance to strike, and Kristina does it flawlessly!
