Natalia

I’ve been booking conversation lessons with Natalia for more than three years now and I will happily do so for another three. She is very knowledgeable, creates a relaxed atmosphere, and has a great instinct for understanding where your level is at and stretching/challenging you just that little bit more. Importantly, she is great at keeping the conversation going and understands that, ultimately, the goal is to have the student doing most of the talking. Honestly, I can’t recommend her enough. Book her! You won’t be disappointed.

I'm always a bit stressed out by the thought of talking in russian. I had two lessons with her and both times I felt at ease almost right away. I understand her well and she seems to understand what I am saying too. When I struggle I can switch to german or english and that works without problem. I'm looking forward to improving my russian.

We played a super fun game today to review all the vocabulary I learned - Natalia is a very interactive and fun teacher, and I continue to really enjoy and benefit from our sessions!

Natalia is a very warm, attentive, expressive teacher. The material she prepares for every lesson is tailored to my needs, and her corrections easily stay in my mind. I have high hopes that, with her help, I'll start expressing myself in Russian so much better.

Natalia is so knowledgeable about the Russian language and how to teach it well to Russian language learners from a pedagogical and linguistic perspective - another great lesson today! :)

Natalia is an amazing teacher! She plans the lessons in advance very well with targeted grammar and vocabulary, and gives me plenty of opportunities to practice and converse.
