📖 Russian that makes sense! Tailored lessons, real-life language, no pressure:) Hi! I’m Anya, a Russian teacher from Saint Petersburg. I have a degree in pedagogy, a certificate in teaching Russian as a foreign language, and over five years of teaching experience. I speak English fluently, so I can explain grammar clearly and in a way that makes sense. My lessons are friendly, practical, and personalized. We work with real-life topics, speaking tasks, visuals, games, and materials based on your level and goals. I also love sharing stories about Russian culture, traditions, and everyday life. We meet on Zoom, and after each lesson you receive a personal Google Doc with new vocabulary, grammar notes, useful links, and optional homework. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident speaking Russian from the very first lesson. ✨

I studied Linguistics (French and English) in Moscow and afterwards I did my Master's degree in Educational Sciences in Finland. I did an internship in Italy, where I taught Russian to Italian students at the University of Pavia, and I also did another internship in Spain for teaching English. I prefer to act like 'a friend' to my student rather than as an authoritarian controller. I 'guide' the students' learning, helping them to achieve their best results and making sure that they enjoy learning with me.

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!

    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.
