In 2025, I obtained an international German language certificate at B2 level, which helps me communicate with German-speaking students and explain Russian clearly. We use proven textbooks, interesting fairy tales, newspaper articles and real-life materials. Step by step, we work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and speaking skills. My goal is to help you start speaking Russian quickly while discovering the rich world behind the language. Welcome — let’s start this exciting journey together!

OVER 25 YEARS OF TEACHING With inspiration comes motivation. From motivation springs action. I’d like to inspire you on your way. I’m extremely passionate about teaching English. I use visual cards, placards. For instance, the other day we studied personalities and we made a map of characters from ‘Five Feet Apart’ which is a new movie based on a book and teenagers enjoyed it a lot! So we made a visual picture similar to one on the cover of the book and put there all new personalities together with main characters from the film. Regarding teaching children, I know many English songs and rhymes, which we learn by heart to better remember vocabulary and understand English grammar. https://www.youtube.com/playlist

Systematic approach, well structured lessons Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Кристина. I’m a professional Russian language teacher and speech therapist with over 10 years of experience. I’ve taught over 3,000 lessons to students from 40+ countries, from total beginners to advanced speakers. I don't follow a fully conversational approach to learning Russian that excludes grammar rules. Listening to a lot of Russian (or any other foreign language) doesn't mean you'll soon be able to speak it. I lived in China for one year, I heard Chinese every day for 365 days, surrounded by the language everywhere, but unfortunately, no miracle happened, and I never learned to speak Chinese. The thing is, an adult's brain differs from a child's brain. We have different language acquisition mechanisms: adults need to understand the logic of the language - why we change words in this particular way, what lies behind it, what mechanisms are at work? This is exactly where I can help you. Every language has its own mechanisms, and once you understand them, you'll be able to formulate your thoughts independently without fear of being misunderstood. I compare Russian to a building block set. For example, in English, the word "brother" has only one form, whereas in Russian it can be "брат, брату, братом, брате, брата". Your task is to choose the correct form so you're understood properly and your speech sounds clear and natural. Actually, it's not as scary as it seems, so if you're interested in learning Russian, you're welcome to my lessons!

Passionate English and Russian teacher since 2020 I have always had a strong interest in languages but, also, I had been extremely successful in ignoring the fact. So it took me several years to realise that it is languages that I wanted to concentrate on the most. And not only on learning them myself, but teaching as well. Путь к пониманию, что я хочу заниматься именно языками, был долгим, но я наконец здесь! В настоящее время работаю переводчиком и с огромным удовольствием помогаю другим.

    Polina is an exceptional language instructor. I usually struggle to learn languages, but she skillfully guided me through Russian grammar to get me ready for a big trip. Thanks to her patience and clear lessons, I am leaving with confidence to navigate a month-long journey through a very remote region. I am so grateful for her help and guidance. Her style is to provide resources and structure that you can always return to when you've forgotten materials from past lessons. Very handy. I've had several language instructors in a couple of different languages and Polina is by far the best tutor I've ever met. THANK YOU POLINA! Highly recommended!

    I’m a native English speaker learning Russian, and I’ve had about 12 lessons with Dustin so far. I’m genuinely impressed with the progress I’ve made, and it’s all thanks to him. His knowledge of both the Russian language and culture is outstanding, and he has a real talent for explaining even the most challenging concepts in a way that makes them click. Russian grammar can be incredibly tricky, and it’s easy to get frustrated, but Dustin is patient, encouraging, and makes everything much easier to understand. Every lesson is engaging, well-structured, and enjoyable. He has made learning Russian faster, easier, and a lot more fun. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional Russian tutor.
