Со мной вы полюбите русский язык🌸 Привет! Меня зовут Ирина, я живу в Москве. Я закончила университет по специальности Востоковедение. Я обожаю изучать иностранные языки и сейчас говорю на английском и китайском, продолжая развивать свой уровень. Я люблю делиться знаниями, общаться с новыми людьми и узнавать больше о культуре разных стран. Более четырёх лет я преподаю на italki, работаю со студентами из разных стран и разработала собственные методики. Стараюсь делать уроки интересными и подстраиваю их под цели каждого ученика. Я терпеливая и поддерживающая, создаю комфортную атмосферу, где не страшно ошибаться. Мои занятия помогают говорить увереннее и получать удовольствие от изучения языка. 🌸 Я не преподаю детям 🌸 I don’t teach children 🌸 Самое главное на моих уроках — разговорная практика. Большую часть времени мы будем говорить, да, даже если вы начинающий :) Я не люблю однообразные грамматические упражнения, поэтому каждое новое правило мы сразу будем применять на практике.

Philology Graduate Teaching Uzbek, Russian, Turkish, English & Turkmen 🎓I graduated from the Russian State University with a degree in Philology. After the University, I started to work teaching Turkish and English, working with both children and adults. I have also experience as a translator. Because I speak five languages fluently, I understand what it’s like to learn a language from zero. I’ll support you, encourage you to speak, and make the process clear and enjoyable. 🎓Я окончил РГГМУ, факультет филологии. После учебы переехал в Турцию и начал преподавать турецкий и английский языки. Есть опыт работы с детьми и взрослыми а так же переводчиком. Так как я сам выучил несколько языков, я хорошо понимаю трудности изучающих и умею объяснять просто и понятно.

Learn Russian easy, while talking, watching movies and reading! Are you interested in improving your Russian? Maybe you have learned it a bit, but still don't feel comfortable talking? We can solve it together! I'm ready to help you feel at ease with the Russian language. We can chat about your daily life, discuss your favorite series or tackle your uncertainties in vocabulary. I am an easy going but structured person and I love my language - these are the things that make me a good tutor:) ✌️ By the way, I am fluent in English - so, don't worry - we'll understand each other! 📍 I live part of the year in Tbilisi, Georgia and part of the year in St-Petersburg. 🔴 I am really dedicated to teaching Russian and only take a limited number of students! This means, you will have a lot of attention and also, that lessons will be personally prepared and structured for you. Each time! And it will not be boring at all, I promise:) 🔹 I prefer to focus on conversation, reading and watching authentic materials. As for grammar, I am a big believer in the communicative approach. So, we will do some grammar here and there, but for the most part you will learn it from other aspects of learning the language. 🔹 We will also discuss in detail Russian traditions, small everyday habits of Russian people. Quick progress of many of my students from UK, USA, France, Japan, Hungary and Poland definitely proves otherwise! With weekly classes you can certainly expect plus one level to your current one in no longer then 6 months.

Certified TEFL teacher with 4 years teaching experience. Living in Africa has helped me to interact with people from different countries. I have been teaching languages for about 3 years. I had a lot of international students from all over the world. I am very fun,friendly and outgoing and always encourage my students to speak as much as possible and entirely lose their fear of making a mistake (they are an essential part of learning any language!). We can do casual classes, where we mostly speak about various topics, or if you need to prepare for assessments such as IELTS and CAE, we can do speaking in the exam format. In the previous years I have prepared several students to do these exams and they all passed with flying colors.

Learning a new language can feel overwhelming — but it doesn't have to be. Hi, I'm Victoria, and I'm here to make your journey with Russian or French clear, structured, and genuinely enjoyable. I'm from Belarus, where I graduated from Minsk State Linguistic University and later completed a master's degree in Translation and Interpreting. I've taught French at university level and have several years of experience helping non-native speakers learn Russian — from complete beginners to advanced learners working on fluency. Whatever your level or goal, I'll tailor each lesson to you: speaking, pronunciation, grammar, reading, writing — we'll focus on what matters most for your progress. My approach combines structure with flexibility, so you always know where you're headed, while lessons stay engaging and adapted to how you learn best. My students consistently see real results: beginners build a strong foundation in French or Russian from the very first lessons, while intermediate and advanced students expand their vocabulary and gain the confidence to use complex grammar structures naturally and without hesitation. Ready to start? Book a lesson and let's take the first step together.

    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!

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.
