I'm eager to help y'all guys learn languages. I give you the structure and feedback. You commit to seeing me once in a while. Chill, it's not a test. 我有微信账号.
I have the boots-on-the-ground experience as I have been teaching English in Russia and China since 1984. I taught ages 3 through 78. I am a CELTA certified teacher. As a linguist by education, I well understand the structure and evolution of русский and other languages.
English was my major and French my minor in a university. I learned little bits of Polish, German, Tatar, and Mandarin by myself. I also lived in Azerbaijani and Cantonese speaking environments.

My lessons with Igor are very perfect. I need to me more confident to speak in english and Igor help me for that. It's easy with him, because he has experience with student and he knows how to give you confidence. I don't feel judged, and above all I like the tools it gives me to improve my English. Since I started lessons with him, I've seen my level increase! I recommend him ++++

I am in my mid-seventies and still making steady progress with my Russian due to Igor's gentle encouragement and excellent materials. A truly remarkable teacher.

Another lesson down with Igor. It's obviously a tad overwhelming being a beginner and seeing really long words, strange letters, etc., but his class is laid back so I don't feel uncomfortable so much as ignorant. I ask a bunch of questions, so I know I slow class down a bit, but I like to notice connections and have side trivia about things, so it's fine with me!

Igor Naumov is trained as a professional language instructor, but what makes him outstanding is how he adapts to the needs of his students. He even goes out of his way to expand my horizons with suggestions and ideas that go beyond the lesson. He tailors his activities to my needs and availability, and I feel I have made great progress with him (despite not being able to devote the maximum possible time I could from my end). I recommend him enthusaistically and without reservations!

Igor is an exceptionally experienced and effective teacher. He has a deep level of expertise and can precisely break down words and concepts to their underlying logic, which has helped me think much more dynamically about Russian. He thoughtfully tailors his lesson plans and reinforces key topics and ideas with additional material and insights outside of our lessons. He truly goes above and beyond to help his students learn and improve. Can’t recommend him enough!

Good first class with Igor. I wish I could bring a little more Russian to the table, but unfortunately I'm a true beginner. So he smartly and quickly pivoted to a textbook for me, which was totally appropriate for my level! I had taken a few lessons about a year ago (different instructor), but fell off the wagon after life got a bit busy. Good news is Igor's a funny dude and I enjoyed the lesson! Looking forward to learning Russian, it's a really cool language and complex enough to be interesting. I hope I can make decent progress outside of class for my poor instructors' sakes!
