Certified TORFL teacher with over 7 years of teaching experience. Polyglot. I was born in Russia and later moved to Belarus. I studied and worked in China for 7 years, and have now lived in Japan for three years. I am trying to live a full and diverse life. I like cooking, planting flowers and veggies in my small garden, traveling, going to live concerts, visiting museums and galleries, skiing, and dancing. If you are interested in funny non-stress, but very productive Russian, Chinese or English lessons, feel free to contact me. I have an experience in studying many different foreign languages such as German, Chinese, English and currently Japanese. So I know how to learn a foreign language quickly and without big pressure. Besides, I have Master degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages and TORFL teacher certification. During teaching, I mostly focus on a speaking part, because I think, that the speaking is the most important of learning a foreign language. The first grammar must be studied along with speaking practice, otherwise it is useless. You must learn not just words, but phrases that can be used directly in a dialogue. Usually, students are good at reading and writing, but their speaking is always coming the last. Be ready not just listen to me, but talk with me, explain to me and enjoy our lesson. Please note that all general lessons last 55 minutes.

いつもあっという間にレッスンが終わってしまいます。話題が豊富で、説明は端的。初心者のつたないロシア語も、つい口をついて出てしまう日本語も、完璧に理解してくれます。レッスンが終わるたびに「もっとしゃべりたい!」という気にしてくれる、素晴らしい先生です。

Anya made me feel very seen and heard! I feel safe speaking with her openly. Anya is a very perceptive professor, and her understanding of how to learn languages is that of a high linguist.

This has been my second lesson with Anna. She is a great communicator and makes learning easy. I am planning on continuing learning Russian with her.
