A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... Let's start our Russian learning journey? I studied at Moscow State University and received a bachelor's degree in journalism. The main goals of my training were to acquire linguistic skills and refine the knowledge of my own language. Last year I returned to Moscow State University to get a diploma in my current specialty - methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language. Now I am glad to offer you courses based on both my own developments and methods known in the teaching community. I strongly believe that the teacher should use an individual approach to each student. So I usually plan my lessons depending on my students` needs and their language levels.

Veronika
Ukrainian that opens doors to culture, history, people, and new perspectives. I studied international relations and translation, which showed me how powerful language really is. The way we express — or fail to express — ourselves can build trust or distance, even shape diplomacy. Teaching has become a central part of my life — not just a job, but a way to connect. My students say I’m patient, calm, and genuinely supportive. I love meaningful conversations about culture, history, and global perspectives. My background gives me a broad lens, but my approach is always personal. Teaching, for me, means seeing the person behind the words — and growing together.

Iurii
Learn Russian or English with a Siberian polyglot I try to avoid overwhelming my students as much as possible, and tailor every lesson to them. We read texts, watch synchronized videos, and break down grammar together, not by memorizing rules, but by discovering them naturally with my guidance. For advanced students, I offer deep conversations, analysis of tone and style, and even exercises written for native speakers. I work with learners of all levels, whether you need Russian for business, travel, or personal growth. If you speak Turkish, I can explain some concepts in Turkish for you as well.

Maria
Multilingual teacher with 8 years of experience bringing Russian language and culture to life My teaching is tailored to each student’s interests — topics, vocabulary, and level — while also adding grammar and expressions useful for both daily life and advanced discussions. I focus especially on reading and listening, but can also help with writing, pronunciation, and fluency. Lessons are fully customizable, whether for children or adults, beginners or advanced learners. Moreover, I believe that to truly master Russian, it’s essential to explore its literature, history, and traditions to gain a deeper understanding of the country. That’s why I always try to share insights about Russian culture in every lesson.
