No studying, no stress… just Russian that somehow makes sense 😄 Hi! I’m Sveta, a native Russian teacher and a content creator from Moscow 👋 I run a channel with lots of fun, useful comprehensible input to help you keep improving between lessons. Fun fact: Russian is the only language I learned fully naturally. First I understood it, then spoke it, and only much later realized grammar exists 😄 That’s why it’s the only language I speak 100% intuitively, and that’s exactly what I want for your Russian too. I teach through acquisition, using comprehensible input (CI) inspired by ALG. No grammar, no stress. Beginners: In our first lesson, I can speak English, Spanish, or Italian to discuss your goals and explain my method. After that, we’ll start using cross-talk, a stress-free and very effective method where you can speak a language I understand (English, Spanish, Italian, German, or Malayalam) while I speak Russian. You’ll start understanding from day one. Intermediate and advanced: We focus on natural conversation to help you sound more fluent and confident. Lessons can be recorded on request. If you want Russian to finally start making sense and feel natural, come try a lesson 🙂

My favourite italki lesson ever (and I have had many lessons over the past few months for four different languages)! Svetlana is a genuine polyglot, and her experience of learning languages is very useful if you're a language learner yourself. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone learning Russian!

Svetlana is a perfect teacher for me, I love how much fun she likes to have. She has a very bubbly personality. I have some Russian friends and she recommended some cool games that we can do together.

Me encantó hablar con Svetlana, es una profesora súper buena y fue una conversación entretenida. Poco a poco me fui soltando en Ruso porque me hizo sentir muy cómoda. Es paciente y una presencia tranquila. Voy corriendo a reservar más clases con ella ❤ Muchas gracias Svetlana

Sveta was very patient and explained her methodology very thoroughly. I found her teaching style fit with my learning aspirations. I would certainly recommend Sveta to anyone looking for a Russian tutor.
