Hello everyone! My name is Polina. I am from Moscow. I love travelling and learning foreign languages. I find it fascinating to be able to visit new countries and new places, speak with people in their language and make new friends.
Whether you are new to learning Russian or already have some knowledge of this wonderful language and want to improve your skills, I would be happy to help! Please feel free to send me a message before our first lesson telling me your goals and expectations.
Me as a Teacher
I have a Bachelor degree in Linguistics and a retraining degree in Methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language. My lessons are planned according to your goals and interests, but I also provide my studensts with some interesting and useful information about Russian culture which helps you understand Russians better.
During my lessons I send my students all the materials needed via skype or email.

Another great lesson with Polina! she makes learning Russian enjoyable and entertaining by discussing language, as well as culture and other things. Could not recommend her highly enough!

Excellent lesson as all we had yet. Polina both prepares good materials and is flexible and open. She assesses my level well, so that I'm challenged but not frustrated. I always learn new things, get more secure at issues where I'm hesitating, and am never bored.

Pola was friendly, professional and patient, correcting where necessary and encouraging dialogue. She made me feel at ease which is always a plus when attempting to speak a foreign language as a learner. I would recommend her as a tutor.

I've been working on my writing recently, and Polina has very graciously been taking the extra time to correct my essays so we can discuss them in the lessons. Just another example of how she goes above and beyond.

professional and friendly, Polina encourages speech from the start and gently guides through examples, correcting mistakes and giving explanations as she goes. I always feel free to speak (badly) without embarrassment which I think is important. Polina creates a supportive and encouraging environment in which to learn, make mistakes and converse without fear.

I always love my Russian lessons with Miss Polina ! We progress fast but she also pinpoints where I need review and she is very patient with mistakes I make! I always have fun in the lessons.
