🥇My students achieve solid results and gain self-confidence in Russian-speaking environments after taking my classes.
🚀I taught groups of 20 or more online, and this experience has made me an expert in teaching groups.
👩🔬I have tested various techniques and teaching methods. You will study using proven materials and assignments that are effective.
🥹I am flexible with my students and tailor the lessons according to their needs and goals, even in a group setting.
🔥 I utilize a variety of formats to keep the learning experience dynamic.Me as a Teacher
Throughout my work, I've identified the best combination of tools to deliver optimal results (WATCH THE VIDEO TO FIND OUT MORE):
🔵Interactive classes on Miro Board (where you'll engage in exercises, take notes, read, and utilize an amazing online board that facilitates learning).
🔵I provide additional practice and revision through homework on the interactive platform with automatic checking using Progressme, Wordwall, and revision sessions on Telegram.
🔵We speak only Russian during the class. Sometimes, if necessary, I explain grammar in English.

She offers so many great resources to her students! Quizlets, grammar and speaking exercises, self-made podcasts, and more! She keeps notes of each lesson which is extremely helpful to reference afterwards as well! I am not at all nervous to speak Russian and make mistakes. I really appreciate her teaching style and learning materials! 5 stars!

Irina is a great teacher! She is very organized, well-educated in grammar and linguistics, and she immerses you in the language as much as possible by teaching in Russian and encouraging the student to practice speaking in Russian. When she needs to explain something in English, she does so very clearly, as her English is very good. She reminds me of an excellent teacher I had in college for French, where I learned a lot. I would highly recommend her as a teacher!
