About Me

Привет! My name is Vika, and I’d love to be your guide to learning Russian!
I’ve always been passionate about the Russian language and literature—I even participated in competitions and wrote for the school newspaper. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, yoga, and hiking.
Traveling is also a big part of my life; I've visited 20+ countries. In 2023, my husband, daughter, and I moved from Russia to the UK. I have Ukrainian roots, but my parents moved to Siberia in the 1980s for work, and that's where I was born and bread.Me as a Teacher
In the past three years, I’ve taken several courses in teaching Russian as a foreign language, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see my students grow.
My approach focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak freely without fear of making mistakes. I love asking questions and encouraging you to share your own stories, making our conversations feel natural and enjoyable. My lessons & teaching style
Join me for a trial lesson, and let’s make learning Russian a meaningful and engaging experience!
Together, we’ll not only improve your language skills but also boost your confidence to be yourself in Russian.
Book your lesson today, and let's unlock the world of Russian together! And don’t forget to check out my podcasts here on italki.My teaching material

Lessons with Vika are always relaxed, fun, and engaging. She creates an easy atmosphere to practice conversation skills by asking questions and giving her students plenty of time to speak. Highly recommended for conversation practice!

Vika is great. I'm a beginner but I can understand more than 50% of her words. She also carries the conversation, which is useful when you're still a beginner, have a lot to talk about and don't know where to start since you don't have the words to say it. She patiently waits for you to build your sentence. She makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommended!!!
