Professional Russian teacher with 15+ years of experience, Master’s in Russian Philology, and a diploma in teaching Russian as a foreign language (RUDN, Moscow). I have helped hundreds of learners worldwide, from business professionals and diplomats to students and families, go from zero to fluent and speak with confidence. Many of my students successfully passed TORFL exams up to C2 level and now use Russian for work, study, and everyday life. My goal is to make your learning fast, clear, and effective so you achieve results that truly matter to you.

Me as a Teacher

I work with students, professionals, and travelers from different countries who need Russian for study, work, business, or daily life. My role is to help learners feel confident in real communication and reach their personal goals. Many of my students have already achieved impressive results: some became translators, others make presentations in Russian, and many now speak freely with native speakers. I enjoy seeing their progress and supporting them step by step on this journey.

My lessons & teaching style

I focus on adapting lessons to each student’s goals, using a communicative approach with clear explanations, practical grammar, and real-life contexts. My materials are tested with hundreds of learners and include interactive exercises, authentic texts, and speaking practice. I pay special attention to building confidence step by step, combining structured learning with creativity to make Russian both effective and enjoyable.

Her classroom environment is both relaxed and enjoyable, fostering a comfortable space for speaking practice without intimidation. Svetlana's flexibility with scheduling and accommodations showcase her commitment to her students' success. Her extensive experience and wealth of knowledge instill confidence in trusting her teaching methodologies. Having taken over 250 lessons with various teachers, I can unequivocally state that Svetlana stands out as the best. Her expertise, paired with a dynamic and engaging teaching style, sets her apart in the realm of language education.

Svetlana is a great teacher with a ton of experience who is able to adapt lessons to her students' learning goals. Even after a lesson of only an hour I learned several new words and grammar constructions!
