About Me

Здравствуйте! Hello! Bonjour! ¡Hola!
I'm a professional online teacher of Russian. I have a first degree in Linguistics, and I completed a professional training program in Methods of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language at the Moscow State University Russian Language Centre, earning the qualification as Teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language.
I’m passionate about languages and have learned several (and I’m still learning!), so I truly understand what it feels like to study from scratch and struggle with real-life speech.
My interests range from culture and literature to sports, art, and travel a rich base for thoughtful conversations in Russian.Me as a Teacher
I’m patient and attentive, and I always adapt my lessons to your needs, interests, and pace. I like creating a relaxed and safe space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and feel comfortable using the language.
If you’re learning Russian, I can support you in Spanish or English when needed. I use other languages only as a support, my goal is always to help you immerse yourself in the language and start using it naturally. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons always depend on your goal. Whether you want to speak with confidence, move to another country, prepare for an exam, or simply enjoy the language, I adapt the content and pace to what you need. Each class is practical and focused on real communication, so you can start using the language in your everyday life.My teaching material

Maria is a great teacher. She understands English very well, and can interpret the meaning behind each sentence and example. She is very knowledgeable about translating sentences from English and creating quality sentences in Russian, though the structure of the two languages is very different. I strongly suggest.

Maria is absolutely wonderful, charming and brilliant. The class is structured with purpose and her learning style adapts to the student. Progress has been meaningful and deliberate. Maria goes above and beyond to ensure time in class is useful. The tools provided are great, and the variety of topics are always refreshing. I would recommend María to anyone looking to improve and grow in their mastery of Russian or any language under her tutelage.
