¡Hola a todos! Ciao a tutti! Hello everyone! Всем привет!
My name is Svetlana, and I was born and raised in Moscow.
Languages are my passion, and I will happily help you to learn Russian, my native language.
I enjoy talking to people from different countries, learning about their cultures, and sharing my knowledge about the Russian language and culture with others. I realised that while studying languages myself, which encouraged me to quit my job as an economist and devote myself to studying and teaching languages. I’ve been teaching Russian online since 2018.
Me as a Teacher
As a language learner myself, I know that the main thing is to be able to convey your message and be understood, which is why my lessons are focused on working on fluency.
I adapt my Russian and make it comprehensible to learners of different levels, so you will find that you are already able to understand Russian no matter how beginner you are.
I am an open-minded and easy-going person, and we can talk about a gran variety of topics.
I create a friendly atmosphere in my classes, which will help you express yourself with no barrier, and with no fear.
I study foreign languages, so I’m able to put myself in your shoes and share the techniques I use myself for effective language learning.
My lessons & teaching style
- During the lesson, we can just talk in a friendly and relaxed way or we can discuss a particular topic of your choice. I will send you materials such as videos, articles, podcast if you need me to beforehand.
- For the students who are native or fluent in Spanish, Italian or English, I also offer structured lessons to beginners as well as students at an intermediate or advanced level. Even if you are an absolute beginner I can teach in one of these languages while still making the lessons interactive.

Excellent lesson with Svetlana. We used a method she recommended called CrossTalk where I spoke in Russian while she spoke in Spanish. It was great fun and with her help I improved both my Russian vocabulary and ease of speaking and my Spanish comprehension. Next time we will switch roles and I'm very much looking forward to working more with Svetlana on my Spanish and Russian. Recommend her highly for those learning Russian or Spanish.

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

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!

I came into my very first Russian lesson completely riddled with anxiety and worry about looking silly, Svetlana took a very friendly and calm approach when the lesson started, and helped me feel comfortable even when learning something completely new, She was encouraging and really made me laugh and smile at my mistakes, which left me feeling really excited for another lesson rather than embarrassed. If anyone reading this is concerned about being embarrassed or is nervous like I am, I recommend Svetlana without a shadow of a doubt, I believe she is capable of teaching every type of person in a way that makes it a joy to learn. So very excited to start my Russian learning journey with her!
