Hi everyone! I’m Alyona, your wizard tutor from Ravenclaw. Thanks for visiting my profile :) I'm a native Russian speaker, but I also speak English, German, and a little bit of Chinese and Spanish. As a true Ravenclaw, I love learning new things and experimenting with the knowledge I gain. This allows me to be flexible and creative not only in teaching but also in life. I am an open-minded and easy-going person, so I'm sure we’ll find something in common and get along well. Let's make learning a magical adventure together! I am a very patient and passionate tutor, and I find great satisfaction in seeing my students reach their goals. I am highly flexible and adapt all lessons to my students' interests, needs, goals, and wishes. I love hearing feedback from my students and constantly strive to improve. I always create a friendly, comfortable, and encouraging atmosphere in my lessons, so my students never hesitate to ask me anything, no matter how trivial or stupid it may seem to them. I prefer to explain every detail about the language they are interested in. It's important to understand WHY you say something, not just say it because your teacher told you to. I pay close attention to speaking skills and the use of new words and phrases, ensuring my students can communicate effectively even with a small vocabulary. In my lessons, we will listen to music, read poetry, watch stand-up comedies, play games, and learn grammar, as it's a crucial part of learning any foreign lang...

I had a super lesson with Alyona, we spoke almost entirely in Russian, because she was very patient and helped me with words I'd forgotten or didn't know :) We talked about languages and a little about Kazakhstan, it was very interesting. She is a kind and friendly person and easy to talk to - thanks Alyona :)

Alyona is a really great Russian tutor with a fun and unique approach to teaching the language. She took time to get to know my interests and tailored each lesson around things I'm actually interested in. Also, she's great at explaining grammar points and breaking down complex topics.

I highly recommend Alyona as a Russian language teacher. She creates customized lessons tailored to each student's needs, with a strong focus on practice and real-life application. Alyona doesn’t just teach the theory—she ensures you truly learn by using the language. She is attentive, observant, and designs her courses based on what will help her students most. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, I'm making consistent progress and gaining confidence in my Russian.

Alyona prepared several scenarios, and I practiced forming many sentences using what I had learned. It was both challenging and fun. Thank you!
