Hi! My name is Varvara, I am a Russian native speaker born and raised in St.Petersburg, Russia. I received my Bachelor in Russian-English-German translation and also hold TEFL certificate. I'm a language enthusiast, I tried learning Italian, Georgian, German and now work on Spanish as I lived in Mexico for some time. Apart from studying, I gained work experience in the tourism industry and volunteering in different countries, which I absolutely love. I like sport, travelling, theatre, art, politics and the list goes on!

Me as a Teacher
Being a student myself I know what works and what does not when it comes to learning a language. I am pretty flexible and adapt any lessons to your personal preference and pace. Do not hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions and wishes.
My lessons & teaching style
A typical lesson with me will involve a lot of conversation, engaging activities to expand your vocabulary as well as useful techniques to improve your understanding of grammar. I would be delighted to create lessons specifically for you based on your current level and to help you achieve your aspirations.

I have a pretty solid level of Russian that's a bit rusty. Each lesson, I just chat with Varya and she's good at correcting my grammatical/vocabulary/pronunciation mistakes without interrupting the flow of conversation. Мне всегда рада говорить с ней :)

Varvara is an excellent teacher. I can't recommend her highly enough. I started last year with zero Russian at my command and now I can spend an entire lesson speaking only in Russian. Part of what makes Varvara such an effective teacher is that she speaks clearly and engagingly, at a pace that matches the student's level of listening comprehension, and with vocabulary simple enough to keep the conversation going but advanced enough to encourage growth. She also has endless patience, which for me is a must, as I have an endless amount of questions on even the most obscure points of grammar. Varvara was the first and only Russian teacher I ever connected with on iTalki and all I can say is that I got extremely lucky.

Уже три встречи с Варварой у меня были, и теперь могу сказать, что она супер учительница.
В принципе, использую iTalki, чтобы помочь мне с разговорной речи, и нашел я отличную учительницу, с которой могу с легкостью общаться. Она говорит и ясно и грамотно и это очень мне помогло.
Очень вам советую записаться на уроки к Варваре!
