Russian with confidence: real conversations, culture & grammar without panic 📚 Hi! My name is Dina, and I’m a Russian teacher living abroad: a little like Turgenev, the Russian writer who spent years in Europe but never stopped writing and thinking about Russia. Russian language, literature, and culture are still a huge part of my life, and that’s exactly what I bring into my lessons: real conversations, grammar without panic, memes, stories, and cultural context 🪆 I have over 8 years of experience teaching Russian and English. I have a degree in English Language and History from Kazan Federal University, an international TESOL certificate, and a certificate in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language. I use a communicative approach: we apply grammar in real speech, practice a lot of speaking, and work with real-life situations, culture, and living Russian language. My goal is to help you speak Russian naturally, confidently, and without fear of making mistakes 🇷🇺✨ If you don’t just want to “study Russian,” but actually speak it, understand Russian culture, humor, and feel more confident I’ll be happy to help. In our first lesson, we’ll define your level, goals, and choose the format that works best for you: speaking practice, grammar, literature, culture, or a mix of everything. Book a trial lesson and let’s make Russian clear, alive, and truly yours 🤝🏻

I'm a book-worm and hope that my true love and deep knowledge of classical and modern English and Russian literature helps me to teach. I completed a course of speech therapy and apply these insights to pronunciation development.

Journey into Russian: online lessons by a bilingual parent and literary pro Около 10 лет я была редактором (и мне безумно нравилось им быть!). Но после переезда в Австрию я начала скучать по общению на родном языке и... стала сертифицированным преподавателем русского как иностранного. Я очень рада учить русскому языку взрослых и детей и видеть их успехи! К тому же мой сын в свои два с небольшим уже отлично говорит на двух языках. Верю, в этом есть и моя заслуга. For 10 years I was an editor (and I loved this job) but after moving to Austria I started to miss conversational language and... became a certified tutor. I definitely enjoy teaching now! Also I have a 2 y.o. son who is already incredibly good in speaking of 2 languages. I believe I had a hand in it.

    Learning Russian

    Katya is a wonderful Russian teacher! She uses her own materials, which are divided into vocabulary sets, reading, grammar, and audio/writing. What I sincerely appreciate about her teaching is that her lessons are very structured, so you not only know what you should do to improve but also how to do it! She gives ample feedback on speaking and writing, but balances it well so you do not feel overwhelmed by the number of mistakes you are making while building the confidence to speak Russian at the same time. I enjoy every single one of our lessons and conversations together! Thanks to her, learning Russian has been less overwhelming for me now, more of a fun hobby to pursue. Highly recommend her! :)

    I was nervous to start a new language as different as Russian. Honestly it was the perfect class! I am still in shock with just how much Russian i picked up in one class! It was a calm and comfortable environment with absolutely no judgement. I am already looking forward to my next class! I would highly recommend Nata to anyone starting Russian- please book with her! You won’t regret it ❤️

    Alisa is a fantastic teacher for anyone starting out with Russian! She does a brilliant job breaking down complex beginner grammar into simple, practical steps, and she gets you speaking right from day one. Her lessons balance structured grammar explanations with active conversation practice, making the learning process engaging and far less intimidating. She is incredibly patient, supportive, and always adapts the pace to fit my needs. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence in speaking Russian and understanding basic conversation has grown tremendously. If you are looking for a dedicated, encouraging tutor to build a strong foundation in Russian, I highly recommend booking a lesson with Alisa!

    Igor is an exceptional instructor - he is able to easily combine the expert skills of a professional language instructor with the relaxed, friendly, flexible way of meeting students where they are at. I have been taking Russian language lessons from him for five years now - and have enjoyed every lesson and made steady progress. I highly recommend Igor for anyone seeking to learn or maintain Russian language skills.

  • Matt

    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.
