Certified teacher with over 5 years of experience Hi! I’m a native Russian speaker and certified teacher with a linguistics degree—I don’t just teach the language, I reveal how it 'thinks'. My superpower? Turning grammar puzzles into "aha!" moments using clear and structured explanations and cultural deep dives (yes, we’ll discuss "blini" and "matryoshkas"). Whether you’re battling verb aspects or craving conversational confidence, I tailor lessons to your goals—with zero stress. Schedule full? Message me! I’ll find a slot or create one. Let’s explore Russian together—*Поехали!* (Let’s go!) I'm patient and friendly. I create an easy atmosphere motivating to speak and not be afraid of making mistakes. I'm good at explaining things in a way that suits each student individually. My lessons are individually tailored to each student's needs. I provide lots of fun and engaging materials that help understand how the language works and motivate to speak. I like to make my lessons more entertaining and diverse by using authentic films and songs, as well as introducing lessons devoted to various cultural phenomena, such as Russian holidays and traditions.

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.

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.
