Hello! I am Elena and I am a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language with a master's degree in History of Art from Moscow State University. Moscow is my mother city, and I also work as a tour guide here. I have been teaching since 2013, both Russian students and foreign learners. I used to live and work in Saint Petersburg, and this experience (together with the lockdown) has opened for me a path to online teaching. Now I am happy to share with you my professional skills, my love for Russian culture, and my communication energy.

Me as a Teacher
I teach all needed blocks of Russian: speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
If you are going to study or work in Russia, I will help you at all stages of preparation for the TORFL exam. My lessons are practical and may include essay writing, tests, watching and discussing videos, and reading texts.
I work with beginners, intermediate and advanced learners.
Within our common work, you can achieve good and accurate knowledge in Russian including pronunciation, contemporary slang, and details of grammar.
I may give you homework. Its amount depends on your wish and the time you are ready to devote to Russian. But remember, regularity brings more results than occasional intensity.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons you will get:
1) study plan with clear goals and timings
2) grammar system
3) TORFL exam preparation
4) business Russian language
5) safe and ecological communication
6) quality immersion in Russian history and culture
7) mood boost
I'm a cheerful, empathic, and inquisitive person who likes to travel and communicate. I am open to any topic.

Teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language - RUSSIAN LANGUAGE CENTRE MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY - 2021In order to qualify to teach professionally, I applied to the Russian Language Centre at Moscow State University. Here I took a course "Methods of Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language" of 350 academic hours, passed 9 exams in disciplines. This diploma is a document of established form and gives the right to conduct a new type of professional activity. I can attach only one file here - a photograph of the diploma. I am ready to send all the attachments to the diploma on request.
I have taken many lessons with Elena and I can say, with great certainty, that she is one of the most wonderful teachers I have ever had. She makes the lesson environment feel incredibly comfortable. She is interactive, professional, polite and very helpful. She adapts to your needs wonderfully and goes out of her way to plan lessons that will be enjoyable and will suit the student's needs. I have seen my russian improve a great deal thanks to her lessons. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a teacher.

«Я успешно сдал ТРКИ-I благодаря Елене!!!»
За 40 дней до тестирования я изо всех сил пытался подготовиться к экзамену самостоятельно и искал учителя, знакомого с ТРКИ. Я нашёл её на italki и перед пробным уроком объяснил ей, зачем мне личные уроки. На пробном уроке она уже была хорошо подготовлена, чтобы научить меня сдать экзамен. Я был очень впечатлен и сразу решил продолжить с ней учебу для тестирования.
Она всегда давала мне необходимое количество домашних заданий, и это заставляло меня постоянно учиться на ТРКИ. Кроме того, она быстро заметила, что мне нужно улучшить перед экзаменом, и составила план обучения для меня с четкими целями. После последнего урока перед экзаменом она дала мне домашнее задание перед экзаменом и дала мне подробный отчет сразу после того, как я отправил его ей. Более того, она подбодрила меня добрым сообщением, и это сделало меня более расслабленным и уверенным)
Таким образом, благодаря ей я сдал ТРКИ-I с отличным результатом.
Огромное спасибо, Елена!!!

Really enjoy my lessons. Especially when we just converse about various topics with on-the-go grammar corrections and vocabulary prompts, lots of great listening and speaking practice. Elena is great at tailoring her approach to best suit your individual needs

лучшая профессор! Elena is a such a great teacher. Very patient and has many materials to help you learn. She has a very conversational approach, so you use Russian from the very beginning and that really helps you remember a lot of the information she teaches.

It is a lot of new information, but Elena is super professional, so you never feel overwhelmed or nervous, because she always helps you with a smile.
If you want to learn Russian, select her as your teacher! Спасибо тебе за все
