About Me
italki teacher since Nov 18, 2019
Привет! Hello dear friends! My name is Viktoria. I am a native Russian. As a thermal power engineer, I had been working at big submarine factory in Severodvinsk city. I always loved languages, traveling and meeting new people. I started to teach Russian my foreign friends and I noticed a quick progress of them. Then I realized that I want to change my career. So, I took bachelor’s degree in linguistics and now I teach professionally for more than 3 years.

Me as a Teacher
I am a professional teacher.
In 2016 I graduated from Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov (Common and German Linguistics, Teacher education).
In 2022 I improved my teaching qualifications at Moscow State University at the course «Methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language».
My lessons & teaching style
After years of learning English at school I still couldn’t speak. I started to travel and communicate with foreigners. That’s how actually I learned English. And that’s why I think that the best way to learn language is speaking! You will start to speak from the FIRST class, carefully picking up Russian grammar and vocabulary.
My goal is to create relaxed classes with your individual plan and correct this plan according to your progress. I’m very flexible with my teaching methods and communication with my students.
If you want, we can use different materials for lessons and for homework. I have plenty of them (videos, audios, articles, textbooks, workbooks, worksheets, etc.).

Viktoria is a wonderful teacher who has helped me improve my Russian through her very interesting and informative teaching method. We have classes daily and I always look forward to them. Viktoria has an interesting background, being both a language teacher and an engineer. With her vast knowledge of Russia and Russian history, she is able to explain to me the nuances behind the Russian words I am learning, which is invaluable. If you’re looking for a teacher who is thorough & who will push your boundaries, but will do so in a kind and stress-free way, I can’t imagine there would be any better than Viktoria. I love that I can be made to feel so relaxed while learning a complex and difficult subject. Victoria makes my learning Russian interesting, fun, and easy. I highly recommend Viktoria to anyone, at any level, who wants to learn Russian.

After having Viktoria as a teacher for nearly two months, I can confidently say that the lessons and time spent her are invaluable! She is a great teacher who is very encouraging, sympathetic to the challenges of the language, and works to make each lesson customized to your long term goals. I strongly recommend and looking forward to continuing learning from her!
