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.

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 always enjoy my classes with Daria. In her own gentle way, she encourages me to speak and read Russian in every lesson, which is helping to build my confidence. I would highly recommend trying a class with Daria!
