Привет, друзья!
I’m a Moscow-based Russian teacher with over 7 years of teaching experience.
All this time, I've been trying to help people from all over the world learn Russian, revealing to them not only grammar and vocabulary, but also the rich culture, traditions and history of Russia.
I work with students of different levels, from complete beginners to advanced students, and I always try to adapt to your pace.
Every student gets a custom lesson plan based on their level, goals, and learning style.
My students feel safe to speak, make mistakes, and grow in every class.
If you want to learn Russian in a lively, cultural context, I will be glad to become your teacher!

Me as a Teacher
I studied at Moscow State University and received a bachelor's degree in journalism. The main goals of my training were to acquire linguistic skills and refine the knowledge of my own language.
Last year I returned to Moscow State University to get a diploma in my current specialty - methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language. Now I am glad to offer you courses based on both my own developments and methods known in the teaching community.
I strongly believe that the teacher should use an individual approach to each student. So I usually plan my lessons depending on my students` needs and their language levels.
My lessons & teaching style
In the first lesson, we will discuss your goals and expectations from our classes to determine your personal strategy of learning.
In our lessons, you will:
📜 Start speaking Russian from scratch or improve your current level.
📜 Understand grammar clearly and without stress.
📜 Learn more about Russian culture, history, and traditions.
📜 Prepare for exams, interviews, or relocation.

I've taken a couple dozen lessons with Daria now and am very impressed with her proficiency, patience, and commitment to teaching. She has many, many resources available for different levels and is willing to explain simple errors that I make over and over (and over). I'm very glad I stuck with her from the beginning and plan to continue lessons for the foreseeable future.

Her deep knowledge of the Russian language and culture shines through in her teaching, and she always explains concepts clearly and patiently. Dariya has a talent for keeping lessons engaging and tailored to individual needs, whether it’s mastering grammar, improving pronunciation, or practicing conversation. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I feel more confident and excited about learning Russian. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher—highly recommended.

Another great lesson with Dariya! I have been taking weekly lessons with her for almost 9 months now, and I have really learned a lot of Russian! Dariya is very good at explaining clearly all the messy details of Russian grammar and pronunciation. It's such a beautiful language, and I am really glad to have found a great teacher!
