Outstanding teacher! She always provides constructive feedback and clear explanations.
Svetlana is polite and patient. She's receptive to my learning style; balancing breaks for grammatical corrections, while also providing me with the space needed to simply speak.
I look forward to continuing my Russian language learning with Svetlana!

Svetlana is a very patient and encouraging teacher. She explains difficult concepts in a simple way that helps you remember them. Lessons are structured but personable and I always look forward to them. Would highly recommend!

Svetlana’s first lesson was a nice display of her professional ability to efficiently teach Russian, with some fun moments that can only help students, in particular beginners... Looking forward to the next lesson! Thanks!
