Languages are my passion, and teaching them is my calling. As a certified Russian and English teacher with 5 years of experience, I help students from A1 to C1 not just learn words, but truly feel the language. My students develop practical skills for travel, work, or cultural immersion — all through real communication and a personalized approach.
When I’m not teaching, I’m exploring the world (and capturing it on camera!), analyzing academic articles, or watching films — all of which inspire me to bring you creative examples and memorable analogies.

Albina has helped me to advance to a level I never thought possible. I will be traveling to Russia in a few weeks. I am not by any means fluent, but I am going with a level of confidence that will allow me to express my needs and understand the reply. Thank you Albina!!

I really enjoy her lessons. She is always ready for lessons with pictures, videos and many topics for discuss. She is one of the best teacher that I have met on Italki. I always look forward to classes. I can recommend her for all english learners!

This was my second lesson with Albina and it was phenomenal. I feel like she listens really well to the needs of the student -- I told her what my goals were last time and this lesson really matched that. I feel like she does a great job at discovering my level and then stretching me just enough.

In a month and ten days Albina led me on my learning journey through the Russian language. We started from scratch and we just completed the A1 level.
Lessons are well tailored to my needs and interests; she is a kind and patient teacher and at the same time she's able to focus on my weak points, helping me to review material and take things from the right perspective.
The words of Benjamin Franklin: "tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn" are very well suited to describe Albina's approach to teaching.

I completed my first lesson with Albina, and I’m so glad I chose to work with her for my Russian lessons. She is very patient and friendly. I enjoyed practicing with her and found her to be very nice to work with. Will definitely continue with my lessons together with her!
