My name is Erika and I’m a Russian & English Language teacher. I have a degree in teaching Russian as a Foreign Language from Moscow University and I’ll be happy to help you with mastering this beautiful and rich language. I'm also a CELTA - certified English teacher and I work with adult students of all levels, including TOEFL, FCE, and CAE exam preparation.
I was born in Russia and got my education and first university degree, then started my first business there. I later moved abroad, got married, and for many years live, study and work in Europe. This experience gives me an opportunity to help my students with both Russian and English adapting our lessons to any situation we need.

The teacher was very professional and friendly during the lesson on italki.
She explained everything clearly and always listened carefully to my questions.
We used different materials, like PDFs, audio, and online exercises.
The lesson was interesting and well-prepared.
I liked that the teacher had a clear plan and followed it step by step.
She helped me improve my grammar and corrected my pronunciation in a kind and supportive way.
I believe she can definitely create a structured learning program.
She understands the student’s level and goals and builds the lesson accordingly.
I had a great experience and I would strongly recommend this teacher to other students on italki.

I have been learning with Erika for a few months. She is the best teacher I have ever had. The lessons are very well organized, interesting, and full of useful practice. Erika really listens to the student and helps a lot. I enjoy every lesson and feel real progress. Thank you, italki, for this great opportunity!
