Hi! I'm Daria, your Russian tutor :)
I'm from Barnaul, Russia, and I’m passionate about languages—I speak Russian, English, and Spanish. Since I’ve learned foreign languages myself, I understand the challenges my students face and know how to make learning effective and enjoyable.
Originally a music teacher, I transitioned to teaching Russian and have since helped many students improve their skills.Me as a Teacher
Teaching Russian is not just my job—it’s my passion! I love diving deep into the language and helping my students truly understand how it works.
As someone who loves exploring new cultures and meeting people from diverse backgrounds, I bring a unique perspective to my teaching. I understand the importance of cultural exchange and its impact on language learning.
I understand that everyone learns differently, so I customize my lessons to suit your learning style and goals. Whether you prefer structure or a more relaxed approach, I ensure our sessions align with your preferences.My lessons & teaching style

I simply can't recommend Daria highly enough. She is a fantastic Russian tutor and I have made so much progress with her.
Her lessons are always different and always interesting. We've read short stories, we've played games, we've even watched Russian cartoons. Every lesson feel fresh and exciting, and I always look forward to them.
Daria is smart, funny, kind, patient, interesting, and a simply wonderful teacher.

I am an adult trying to remind myself Russian that I once knew quite well. Daria is a great teacher, and I strongly recommend her! In her teaching approach she is using different techniques and formats which keep me motivated and engaged. Her lessons are funny and interesting and I clearly feel that I made a progress in the way I speak Russian. I highly recommend her!

She is very well-organised, which makes learning with her clear and efficient. Дарья uses a variety of fun and engaging formats—videos, audios, dialogues, and more—which keeps every lesson interesting. She’s also incredibly friendly. I always look forward to our sessions!

Daria has been a very good teacher for me as she keeps it interesting by constantly introducing new topics of conversation and asking questions which forces me to think in Russian.
She emphasises that aspect of thinking in Russian as an important part of learning. My conversations with her in Russian have been a lot of fun and I would highly recommend her to prospective students.

Daria is such a kind, smiling and knowledgeable teacher! I really enjoy our lessons, it's fun, engaging and I learn a lot!!! I don't feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable for once, since this has been my problem with other teachers. Thanks!!
