Здравствуй и hello, my future student! I’m Ekaterina (or Katya)—a native Russian speaker and a professional teacher with a university degree in teaching Russian (not just a certificate!). With 16+ years of experience, I specialize in making Russian feel natural—whether you’re chatting, dissecting true crime documentaries, or singing along to Russian rock. As a certified English teacher (trained in the UK!), I also help students unlock fluency through their passions—films, travel, or even solving crimes together. Let’s make learning fun and tailored just for you! (P.S.: Send me your level and goals when booking—it helps me prepare the perfect lesson!)

Great teacher all around! She has been teaching me Russian for around 6 months now, her lessons are very personalized, and she has a very articulate understanding of the language. She also explains things in very easy-to-digest ways.

Amazing lesson with Ekaterina as always. I believe she's one of the best tutors on italki, if not the best, and probably outside of italki as well. It's amazing that she can explain things well in English when I have difficulty understanding a concept. She explains them so well in English that sometimes I think she's the native English speaker and not me! I'm shocked she doesn't have tons more bookings for English. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a Russian or English tutor! Спасибо за отличный урок!

I can't say enough good things about Katya. She goes above and beyond for her students. She is the best, her lessons really get you thinking in Russian about topics you might not have experience talking about. She is kind with her corrections and makes the whole experience easy especially if you get anxious when speaking in your target language.
