I help you speak real Russian — clearly and confidently! I prepare thoroughly my lessons, using various educational sources. There are several methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language: communicative, grammatical translation, audiovisual and etc. In my practice I apply various methods depending on student’s interests. For example, someone needs to prepare for exam or plans work in Russia, another just wants to travel, find friends and understand the Russian soul, culture and traditions. I’m ready to help anyone who has a desire to learn one of the most difficult languages.

Cambridge-educated polyglot|英语口语 & 语法一对一|中文辅助讲解,八年经验 | Ваш буржуазный бомж! 哈喽! I am an Irish polyglot, researcher, writer and educator living in Brazil. Oi, tudo joia? Sou irlandês — poliglota, jornalista e professor de línguas. Moro em BH. 大家好!我是来自爱尔兰的语言老师,目前住在巴西。我毕业于英国剑桥大学,专业是俄语与德语的语言文学,除英语外还能用俄语、德语、西班牙语、法语、葡萄牙语和中文交流。 Здравствуйте! Я "буржуазный бомж" — ирландский полиглот, журналист и преподаватель языков. Живу в Бразилии. Having grown up in a rural area, I had to find my own way to entertain myself: this led me to learning world languages online. By the age of 18, I spoke 4 languages fluently without leaving bedroom. As a result, I thoroughly understand the trials and tribulations of online education. I later studied Russian and German literature and language at the University of Cambridge, before teaching and studying in Russia, China and Kazakhstan. I now live in Brazil. I have eight years of teaching experience: IB English Language and Literature in Shanghai, two years of German at Queen's University Belfast, and four years here on italki. My lessons are student-led and built around conversation, and I'm especially good at making difficult grammar make sense — Russian and German in particular. 我有八年教学经验:曾在上海华东师范大学双语学校教授 IB 英语语言与文学,并兼授法语;后来在贝尔法斯特女王大学教了两年德语,也在 italki 上课四年。我的课以学生为中心、按需定制,重点放在口语表达上,也擅长把难懂的语法讲清楚。欢迎大家预约试听课! One note: my italki video is a little out of date, as I've just come back after a three-year break. Teaching is part-time for me; the rest of my week goes to freelance journalism and peacebuilding/OSINT research.

I'm Arslan, a TEFL certified language tutor with a Computer Engineering degree, 7+ years of teaching experience, and a background in Robotic Process Automation.

We'll talk about something you enjoy, I'll map your level, and we'll build your plan from there.

    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.
