Daria Jucovscaia

Highly recommend Daria for anyone who is considering Russian lessons, no matter the experience level. She's patient, calm, and all her lessons seem to flow like natural conversations. She keeps a structured learning plan without it ever feeling like rigid drilling. Daria also seems to prepare quite a bit between lessons. She steers conversations towards your interests and points you've struggled with in past lessons. Vocabulary and grammar points that have given me trouble seem to sneak their way into our small talk until they feel natural. It's been a huge help to have Daria guide me through the scary Russian grammar I used to be so nervous about.

I'm really enjoying my lessons with Daria! She is a very patient and encouraging teacher; and this is especially important for me because I am learning Russian as an adult, in my 30s. She uses different tools and ways to teach, in order to mix things up and keep me interested. I highly recommend you give her a try if you're interested in learning Russian, at any age, with an experienced teacher.

These Russian Literature lessons force me to be reflective, but also to think about things in much different ways moving forward.

I have really enjoyed my lessons with Daria! I have learned so much and really gotten to practice all the new vocabulary I am learning. I find myself looking forward to the next lesson throughout the week because she finds such interesting topics and materials to cover!

Fantastic learning!

Classes with Daria just fly by. She finds interesting material for each lesson, asks thought-provoking questions about it and creates a very comfortable environment for exchanging ideas.
