Language tutoring/English for Corporates/Phrasal verbs/FCE Let me give you three reasons why you’ll enjoy having a class with me: First, I speak many languages, which means I’ve been a student many times myself. I understand how it feels to learn something new and know exactly what you need to succeed. Second, I have experience in self-learning languages. This experience taught me what is truly important when acquiring new skills, and I can guide you in focusing on what really works. Third, I am a fun and positive teacher. I love creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere in my classes because students learn faster and feel more confident when they enjoy the process. Meeting new people and helping them grow is always a pleasure for me.

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.

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.
