Sofia is an excellent teacher. She approaches the classes like a seasoned professional: prepared, patient, and excited to see progress in her student. I always feel comfortable speaking with her and she corrects my mistakes in a polite, yet informative manner. You can tell she just has a knack for language and teaching. If you're looking to hone in on your Russian skills than I highly recommend you set up time with Sofia.

Sofia is extremely helpful and assisted me greatly in preparing for a test that I have for class. She is very helpful both during class time and provided me feedback outside of class as well; I love the homework she assigns too!
