Russian, Italian, French | Former news editor from Moscow| Struggling with languages can be fun 🤌😄 Hi and welcome! I'm native Russian speaker + Italian teacher + I speak English, French, a bit Turkish. Tatar princess and former TV editor who now helps people survive Russian grammar. Lessons will be surely very boring and painful. If you study Russian, I'll help you with full immersion in suffering according to Dostoevsky. Dark humor upon request! I love music (studied academic vocal, but then decided to stop torturing neighbours), sports & existential crises. I host a podcast in Russian about inspiring women, wrote a book about femme fatale. Also, I'm part mermaid 🧜‍♀️ Freediving, swimming, anything with water... Oh, and I sail. Fun fact: Moscow is a "port of five seas" thanks to Soviet engineering. Ridiculous? Yes. Love it? Absolutely. I strive to build my lessons around each student’s interests, needs, and goals, creating a learning process that feels both effective and enjoyable. For me, learning a language is much more than memorizing grammar or vocabulary. It is a way to discover new ways of thinking, better understand other people and cultures, and expand the way we see the world. I enjoy creating lessons that go beyond textbooks. I often recommend podcasts, documentaries, interviews, and lectures, because authentic content helps language come alive. In our lessons, we talk not only about the language itself, but also about history, culture, psychology, travel, and everyday life.

Certified teacher with over 17 years of teaching experience Hi everyone, My name is Marie, and I’ve been teaching Swedish, English and Russian since 2009. I am a professional teacher and I have a TEFL/TESOL certification. I previously worked as a university teacher and at several language schools. Currently, I ​teach online and also work as an editor. I use professional educational materials and I have experience of working with students of different ages. I can help you prepare for an exam in Swedish, such as YKI. I'm friendly, flexible and very patient. I like discussing various topics such as music, films, food, technologies, traveling, culture, etc. I'm good at explaining grammar, so you can ask me any questions about that. I prefer not to push but to inspire, and individual approach is my main principle. I let the students study at their own pace, and I always try to find the best way to help them achieve their goals. I'm happy to see how my lessons help my students to travel, to communicate with their family members, to find work in another country, to get another citizenship, etc. I also hope I can help people from different countries understand each other better. My teaching style is a combination of books and speaking practice. Sometimes, if it's reasonable, I also use videos and articles. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me. So, if you decide to take my lessons, I’ll be happy to help you learn Swedish, English or Russian. Good luck with your studies!

The truth is that as long as you are alive, you must learn. As soon as you stop doing that, then you're dead. And it does not matter that you are still physically alive. The other truth is that we learn by teaching. I like learning new things. And teaching is one more way to learn for me.

    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!
