Me as a Teacher
My journey with the Russian language began at Moscow State University, where I earned a degree in Journalism. This allowed me to master the nuances of my native language at a professional level.
To refine my expertise, I returned to MSU for a specialized degree in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language.
I continue to regularly upgrade my qualifications, staying up to date with the latest methodologies. Today, I offer courses that combine classical foundations with my own modern developments.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that effective learning happens when lessons are tailored to the student. My style is a blend of structured methodology and creative engagement.
What our lessons look like:
⭐ Individual Strategy: Every plan is customized to your specific needs, interests, and language level.
⭐ Cultural Context: We don’t just study rules; we explore Russian literature, history, and culture to understand the mindset and traditions behind the language.
⭐ Real-World Materials: Drawing on my journalism background, I use authentic resources to make Russian come alive.
⭐ Supportive Environment: I focus on building your confidence, ensuring steady and measurable progress in every session.

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!

Wonderful class, as always. Dariya is always so patient and gives you lots of time to speak, to think and reflect before speaking, and to express yourself the way you'd like best in Russian. And she's very careful to speak at or near your level so you get as much listening and comprehension practice as possible :)

Dariya is an amazing teacher. She always finds a balance between being letting you try yourself and always being there so you never feel lost. She explains extremely well, is super-patient and is always ready to answer questions. There is never a guarantee for success, but with Dariya, it’s not easy to fail. If you do, question your efforts, not this teacher.

My introductory course went very well. She was very clear and precise about what we would be learning and how to go about our future lessons. She is very patient and kind. I look forward to our next lesson!

Dariya is a very skilled teacher who can explain complicated things in a way that a beginner can understand. She has a lot of different materials, and she knows how to give me the right one at the right time.
